911 Shopping

Been lurking for awhile. Now I'm about ready to pull the trigger on 991. May be a shot in the dark, but does anyone know anything about the car in the link below? It's almost the exact build I'm looking for, but the carfax / history freaks me out.

Thanks in advance!

I would pass (while running).

Too many unmolested, no damage 991s out there.

It looks so good. Sad that it's been bounced around a few times.

And not just bounced around owners, but a concrete barrier too... hitting front and rear.

For that money you can find a comparable but unmolested car with CPO too.

I know you want the car since you basically said it checked all of your boxes; however, with a Carfax damage report like that you better get a PPI (or two) and plan to keep it forever if you really have to have it.

Yep...don’t disagree with any of these comments. Love the build, but don’t think I could ever get comfortable with that particular car. The hunt continues...

Great 50K car.

They're asking CPO, clean 1 or 2 owner money. Good 911's don't make their way to an auction. 911's go to the auction when someone wants a bad car to be someone else's problem. A clean 911 is one of the holy grails of used car lots.
