Unfortunately a repainted car kills the value. A repainted car in a color other than what it came with (not what was available at the time) REALLY kills the value. In order to do a repaint in a different color right, you'd have to spend some $10K. I'd say with the level of neglect that you describe, the car has more work needed not to mention some hidden body work. Sounds like you have a parts car my friend. Just my .02 worth.

I've been holding off joining this thread, but...

Isn't this the same car that was sold about 2 months ago on Ebay by one of the resellers in Florida? This too was repainted from Red to White, described as being an excellent job with door jambs, trunk etc. done properly.

Just curious...
