Talking Shameless carfax request.

I'm investigating a couple of 944s for a friend of mine. I thought I'd check before spending $$$

Yes, it's a Euro VIN: WP0ZZZ94ZFN403558
and another: WP0AB0944JN470072

Please PM if you can help us out. Thanks!

Thanks! I was expecting something even worse for the second car (one of the bumper shocks is visibly collapsed). I'll have to get my friend to carefully consider the first one -- a Euro-spec might be an interesting car....
