Looks like a decent S4 in rare color... No doubt it needs some help but that's not a bad start.

Smog history looks good, all passes, and all in a date range indicating continuous use.

Make Model Year Date / Time Pass / Fail Certificate

I drove off his home and on the on ramp to I-95 in Miami, the tail came out, I was surprised as I was not going really fast and thought that something was wrong. I had not done a PPI on the car, took a small risk given the miles and cosmetics on the car, but had scheduled a service/ Post purchase inspection at the local dealer.

Took the car in that day and after the service the service advisor said: "Too bad you did not purchase the car from us, as it would have been Porsche certified. Also we changed the wheels back to where they are supposed to be FOC". I said what do you mean? His response laughing was that the fronts were put back and the rears at the front!

Later that day the PO called me to see if I was happy with the car. I asked him, why the fronts were in the back and the rears in the front?

"Oh I rotate them for you!!!!!"

Would not be surprised if something similar in happening with this car

I really dig the color BTW. Wish I had some spare cash to rescue it.
