The passenger rear quarter panel has been repainted and had various dents removed. There was a rust spot on the rear quarter panel, and Paragon collision repaired it and repainted the entire panel.
To my knowledge (carfax and talking to every previous owner except Mr. Downs, but talking to his wife) the car has never been in an accident.

Yea, rough night tonight... Well, we are sitting on our A$$ES at home on a Sat night...go figure! How freakin' sad are we?!

I tell you what a bad GTS is still better than just about ANY car on the road and clearly this is not a BAD 928... Obviously a lot of people really liked it! Kudos and congrats.

Damn I'm good. What was up with the passenger seat? It looked discolored.

The rust spot would explain the repaint...wonder why there was rust. That normally only happens when a rear qtr window is replaced and they don't quite get the seal right (ask my how I know...damn it!)

Always like talking to previous owners, but it never happens as much as you'd like it to.

Anyway, nice ride and congrats on the Peoples Choice 928 award! Gotta love that!

Sweat stain...one of the previous owners or a mechanic was sweaty when sitting in the car and that causes that whitish color in leather...it is also on the drivers seat of my parent's SL55.

Sweat actually stains leather (black leather anyways) and I don't know how to remove it. It has been with Brad Moyer of Digital Chasis in Raleigh for the past few months, my dad and I figured that we'd take it to Oktoberfest and then take it back to Brad to finish his repairs.
Jon B.....I take it that you didn't vote for my car?

I've been planning on ordering some...I just haven't gotten around to it. I've tried lexol and it didn't do anything.
