I'm very tempted given the price and history, but what might I be failing to consider here? Should I go for it or walk away?
How much? What year?

I had a "love tap" in March and it was $4,200 to put it back together correctly.

That they did, and probably why they didn't do the spoiler. The question is, now that that's done, and the other factors, Is it worth buying?
