Long story short: I was interested in purchasing this car a few years ago, so I had it PPI’d.

Very reputable shop and they called me within 5 minutes of the cars arrival to say there was no need to proceed w. the inspection. They shared this and other photos and advised me to walk away.

Do you assume that the seller is aware of this?

I wouldn't trust a seller that's never pulled back the frunk carpeting and doesn't fully know the condition of his car.

In this situation, the best case scenario is that the seller is ignorant of the car he's selling.

Either way....walk and don't trust the seller for any car he puts on the market

On a more positive note, this car looks amazing:

https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/1...-carrera-s-10/


The owner removed the entire exhaust and had it jet coated. The undercarriage of this car did not look this good new. This guy might have one up on my OCD…I did the dry ice cleaning and now I want to coat the exhaust to look like this.

Minus a few points for not coating the clamps which have turned from heat.



The PCar listing does not do justice. The option list is great and condition is concours

just ask for some frunk photos

Pull back the carpet and check your 993 - I do not think you’ll see anything like the left image.

Nothing against the seller. Maybe they dont know? My experience is even the most highly regarded sellers end up with bad cars that need to be sold.

I’m just trying to save a fellow rennlister from an expensive mistake. Or at the very least allowing a potential buyer to have a chance to look closer at this area…


What in the hell….. “FACEPALM!” WOW! ***Clean Carfax*** is stated as well!

Unreal. I saw your post yesterday and put a comment in the listing, asking generally if any panels have had work done on them. Let’s see if the Seller comes clean.

Yeah that repair is horrible. Almost looks like great stuff spray foam that's been shaved back. I like that it still has the sticker from the parts department on it as well.

The coated exhaust car does look awesome. Now I know what I'm doing this winter. (I actually like the contrast of the clamps vs coating them)

Still there. I didn’t get too specific but hopefully that’s the right general question to ask?

My bad, I clicked on the wrong pcar link. I think that your phrased it well.

This is one of the best I've seen. If only it had the split grill and not the aero, I would consider selling my 4S for this.
