The only thing I would say is if these high priced ones are genuinely dent free and have great paint, .

 

I'd much rather have original 20 year old paint still sticking to the car and looking OK than a shiny new respray hiding god only knows. Just a personal choice I guess.

Go to the right body shop 20 year old paint is well..looking 20 years old , most have had touch up's over the years which is to be expected with stone chips etc and most bumpers do not match especially the red's and the slivers then you have a patchwork paint job. Baldy re-sprayed mine and I have never looked back no cover up's he took 200pictures including before middle and after I could not recommended him enough.

To be honest I was talking about great original paint when I made this comment, there are still some out there, some stone chips etc yes but otherwise very good 20 year old paint. I agree brand new fresh paint has to be treated with some caution as more so than any other work the quality of body work repairs is paramount. Baldy has a great reputation and I remember his own green supra respray and the quality result so I'd be happy if a car had been done by him as no corners will have been cut. As with all these old cars now it's going to be a mix of compromises when buying one, all you can do is pick the one you like with the bits you feel you can tackle personally or are happy to pay someone else to bring it up to a standard you are happy with, or keep searching!
