Wow... in RED. I personally think you got one of the best deals! Red wasn't my color, but given it's the rarest and still very popular, it's great that they worked with you!
Congrats, red is awesome. Post pics when you get it!
Honestly, that's not too bad and I would pull the trigger at that price (if the paint protection film is done well). Congrats. Every time these protection packages are added on to my quotes, they're like 7 grand+ for BS like "ceramic coatings" you know they bought for $12 off of amazon. Sounds like you got some useful stuff out of yours.
Every situation is different.
These cars sitting in the elements for an extended period of time before it reaches the buyer is a foregone conclusion. No need to stress about it because we're all in the same boat and there's nothing you can do about it. FWIW, the condition of the paint was the worst I've ever seen on a new car I've purchased. It had 12 miles on the odometer and was a swirled out and scratched up mess in some places. Once in your possession I suggest focusing on a proper detail with adequate time spent on decon and paint correction at a minimum. Here's an example:
Yep. That corresponds with my experience. My car had about the same number of miles too, iirc. These cars are not delivered in covered (luxury) trailers and they’re coming from all the way across the pond. My detailer said they’ve had high-end vehicles, including Porsches, come in with similar paint contamination and swirl issues. It is what it is, and it is easily correctable by any competent detailer. Just expect it when you get the car. It’ll be fine.
Ditto, my detailer showed me a SF90 Stradale with paint swirls. Owner drove it over straight from the dealership. Some paint correction is expected even on new vehicles at 10x the price of a CTR.
What does a typical paint correction cost?
