The salesman I got in touch with seemed to insist it's a non issue and was something purely cosmetic, my only potential cause for concern is it being a rear engined platform obviously. I plan on having the car PPI'd if I get to that point, it would just be nice to have some assurance now from this forum regarding Grand Prix, or a warning to stay away. Cheers
They bought a 997.2 GTS from me that was a diamond, and then I sold a 991 GTS cab to allthingsporsche.com and it ended up going up there too so I think they have a relationship. Both cars were near perfect. But they will cars that have ben in accidents.

The great fact is that car salespeople usually know very little about the cars they sell. It comes in usually through a buyer and the salesman knows squat about the history let alone an accident that happened years ago. The only thing that counts is that it can hurt the value.

Pulled the trigger on this 2014 C4S. Probably overpaid by a hair, but the fact that it is a CPO car that seems very well sorted with great history made the decision easier. I really wanted a manual, but struck out on a few cars that had overrevs in range 4-6 so I tired of getting excited, pay $500 for PPI and then not buying the car. The PDK is a great tranny and I'm sure I'll love it. Next, become a PCA member and take her on some drives

Congrats man, that is a beautiful build. These cars are hard to find so if you have to overpay a few grand to get something nice, who cares end of the day. You’re going to have so much fun using the paddles, I’m a diehard PDK advocate after my 991!

Beautiful car! You will like the PDK. It's not a passive system at all if you want to push the car. You have to work even harder than a manual if you want to truly push it to the limits. It's fun!!!

Could not disagree more and I have owned both a pdk and currently a manual.

Picked up this '16 GTS a few days back, only 1,100 miles on it, one prior owner.

Have seen this happen a few times recently with them. It's still listed on Autotrader under the original seller. They really like scooping up cars and jacking up the price.

Thoughts on this car? I think it is worth about 90-110k depending on a number of factors. Am I off? Considering buying it.

Though not a high option car it is a rare manual, and low miles. Not likely this car sells for less than 110k imo.

Found an interesting one here. Might be worth a cross country trip. Good options, similar price to the Grand Prix one I posted earlier with a clear CarFax. Comes in my favourite (and future) Ferrari 458 colour combo to boot: red over tan. https://www.autonationnissanmarietta...9a6e0d76d8.htm
