Would this be considered a grey market 930?

Forgot to say thanks to the members who suggested I talk to Jerry at EPE. He did take the time to see what work he had done on the car and was patient with a newbie like me.

The grey market thing is virtually a non issue. Most states don't even require an emission test any more as they're all over 25 years old. It's a non-issue because all 930s are old used cars with long histories mods etc.
Besides that I think grey markets are pretty cool!

I would be mad as hell with the dealer, "bad tranny,re-paint, roll cage" and they did not mention anything?

The seller is an honest guy. We spoke and I believe he was as shocked as I was. Probably a good buy for a person who is more mechanically inclined than me.

FWIW
You can use what you learned from this experience to hone your search. I always have a list of questions written up ahead of the initial contact. I am not saying this seller dishonest, but his primary goal is to sell the car, not full disclosure. A fair question is, have you put a paint meter to the car? Is there evidence that the car has been tracked?
As I mentioned before, pedigree is everything with these cars, and even though they are all pushing 25 years old + There are still a lot out there. Remember, half the fun is the hunt. Godd luck and keep us posted.
