Did you have an independent PPI done? Or checked with your local dealer on the service history?
I have NOT done a PPI as I've been out of town, but I was planning on checking with local dealer before finalizing the deal. It appears to have been serviced regularly per carfax, but would be nice to have that comfort in what was done. Thanks for the reply!

Price seems fair.

My ONE concern is this rear bumper thing. Why the big report? If it was only a scratched up bumper, would this report even exist?

Was there an accident?? If so, you'd need to have someone qualified pop off that rear bumper and see if there's any underlying damage.

In another thread a guy got a $2k+ quote to fix a rear bumper cover scratch. MAYBE same situation and an insurance claim was made to fix a scratch. That would show up on carfax.

Yes, investigate the rear bumper situation.

It would be a good idea to get the full story from a reliable source, as you will be on the hook to explain it when you resale the car.

Will try and get it checked out but time is not in my side with my deposit and what not. Should've done all this before, I guess.

Is anyone familiar with these Trueframe (attached) reports? Do they actually mean anything or are they just marketing to make people feel comfortable with anything found on carfax?

Just that report on the CarFax is a minimum $5K resale ding. Had it been a police reported "rear accident" that's a quick $10K.

Doesn't this dealer have any info?? It was obviously done after the auction.

Would have been good to see the auction listing, as they note any damage.

Good point I'll ask for that before I sign. Traveling now so can't do much except obsess over it. Thanks for all the advice!

I did notice Suncoast has a single set of bargain-bin priced (but brand new) 20" Sport Design wheels for $1,800. Not my favorite 991 wheel but tons better than the Niche's IMHO.



I did get a bunch more info on that PCA/Agate car. I love the build and colors, but I agree it's not really a 'hot deal' at $69,900 when you factor in 1) No CPO, 2) Comparatively high mileage, 3) $3K wheel budget for replacements. It also has a bit of paint wear on the lower portions of the body from gravel. Not a deal breaker, but not pristine either.
Max has a nearly new set of Carrera S platinum wheels for $1800 on the classified. OEM wheels aren't worth much: who is upgrading to OEM really? Maybe a set of Turbo wheels will fetch more, but everyone around here already has Carrera S wheels or better. I say ask for a $1500 discount, buy his wheels, sell the others for $750 and take $250 for your time.

Looks like Platinum Silver/Black

Heated/ventilated seats

I stalked that one on Ebay for a while. Was $67900.

Build is OK for a driving-only build. Heated seats + steering wheel, vent seats. Unfortunately no upgraded stereo and it has the crazy power steering.

The MSRP on mine was >$124k, and I also got a great trade in offer, which sealed the deal.
But I do love that Orange. My first Porsche was a new 1970 Signal Orange 914...

One of the scam ads. Wire your money to some thief with no car to sell.
