This is my car, and a great car! Wouldn't mind something with a couple small rear seats for the kids but certainly don't mind keeping either. Carl did a great job with it and it is turnkey. I can take more pics for interested parties.

My hypothesis is that the original battery packs are at end of life with no solution in the foreseeable future. Quite a risky purchase.

yes, risky for sure. the only solution now is Gruber Motor Company and Medlock and Sons--if you're lucky to live in the US. I'm hoping there will be a 3rd party company that make something for us or maybe Tesla releases a 3.5 or 4.0 battery. battery technology will only improve and get cheaper...hopefully.
Really? That hasn't been my observation.

i must have paid too much for mine then...but like someone here once said, "It's the best worst decision I've made!"
I came here to write the same.
prices are tanking, artificially inflated by Tesla buying back cars to turn them into art pieces or worse... picked apart shells melted into Pepsi cans.

Well I have two r80's that I am thinking about selling. PM me if interested.
Both are pristine, have new tires, and have been serviced by Gruber- one this week and the other a few months back.
Highly optioned including CF interiors and premium leather.
Metallic White 17K mi, Thunder Grey 33K miles. Both with CACs above 193

Seems to me like prices are actually increasing. As far as I can tell, supply is at all time low with only six Roadsters listed on Autotrader (used to be in the twenties for years). Low mileage cars are listed above $65k. Tesla is taking a lot of cars out of the market at very decent prices and finally providing good service, which means that supply might be even more limited going forward.

Grey is $80, white $85. I sold a very orange R80 sport with 17k and no options for 80k in 2018.

Thanks,
The last one sold in 15 minutes. It has to be a win-win for both the buyer and the seller.

Man...I’ve never been the biggest fan of Thunder Gray, but I have to admit 707 is the best looking one I’ve ever seen. Those stripes and interior are awesome. Best of luck with the sale.

Yeah Tom, it's so badass my daughter does not want me to part with it, I think I've had it 3 years now. Others have come and gone (like yours) and the original owner was a spare-no-expense, daily drive it guy so it's mechanically the most solid car I've had.
