I think you are right that the selling price is low.
I would suggest that the seller should have done a bit more work on it
before listing it.
Things like noting that the muffler was attached with a zip tie do not
suggest that it received the sort of care that one would want. The
exhaust hanger rubber doodads are not expensive or difficult to install.
I also think the it should have had a radio in the hole even if it was a
new after market one.
I also note that the LF fender appears to have been repainted and not
match well. It likely would have been worthwhile to have it painted
again with matching paint. At the same time, the underside of the hood
could have been painted if a new hood pad was not to be installed.
Finally, the AC should have been made workable since the car is in
California. One would expect that they would want it working so why have
they let it go?
My guess is that small details make a difference on BAT and the owner of
this one did not care much and just wanted the car gone.
Most of the car appeared to be in good condition and it sold for a lot
less than some recent examples have.
