I did not read the comments as I would never buy a car at auction especially one wrapped in vinyl since there is no way of knowing what is underneath and I have seen some real messes. Porsche IMO did stray a bit with the 964 from the prior approach and in stock form these cars lost some of the visceral feeling the earlier cars offered. I have owned many more than in my signature and I have rarely owned any Porsche that didn't need some tweaking or personalization to suit my likes. Live and let live but in all honesty a stock 964 is lacking so much that some minor tweaks will bring out.
If some comments in anyone of these auction sites and it kills a deal other than pointing out obvious misrepresentation then maybe that is saying something about the knowledge of those bidding and how easily influenced they are. If you are going to bid on these cars at auction you better know what you are looking at and who cares what other say or feel. Otherwise you get what you get.
FYI here is a case of buying at auction and what was actually covered up by a vinyl rap.
Car looked like a 10 wrapped.

It was funny how people asked if it was wrapped or similar comments when the guards red paint kinda jumps out at you in the door jams, frunk, engine bay, etc!!!

Anyone know this car or have any comments about it? I know it’s been for sale for a while, and searched the thread but couldn’t find anything.

The lack of expertise on display in BAT auction results and comments is crazy. Cars with all sorts of glaring issues that should jump out to anyone that knows what they're looking at, but the issues don't ever come up and the cars go on to sell at the very top of the market. Crazy times.
I got banned for a while for pointing out glaring issues. Ridiculed by the masses for facts anyone bidding should be looking for. It makes no sense. But the money flows and that is what it’s all about.

Pretty sure the ad was pulled after the seller’s mailbox was bombarded with pm’s offering to pay full price or better sight unseen.
