Hi

If the machine that put those spot welds in was faulty, then I wonder what other welds are sub standard?

He must be some sort of sociopath to think that anyone is going to believe his story without question.

You have a better chance of winning the lottery 5 times than the chance that a Porsche factory spot welder was faulty on the assembly line

He is blaming stiff suspension for this??? Pleeease, you would first destroy the wheel, then bend the control arms, and then snap the shock in two before something like this happens.

That car was hit on that side, fender repaired, and put up for sale. Period.

Its looks like it's been repaired, see the gaps at the front, they are not equal

WHOA! Is that hood actually shut? The gap at the front edge of the hood is HUGE! I can't imagine what kind of damage this car took.

And like jscott said, it's missing the trim between bumper cover and body so it has obviously been apart.

The hood has to be open for a gap like that to exist.

Its a good thing you posted your concerns on this site. Otherwise you may have been tempted to buy this dog.

I think the hood is open; also look at the left and right gap, the right gap is so small compared to the left
I have invited the seller to see the thread and get involved, so far no reply

I would be very surprised if the owner joins the discussion. The evidence speaks for itself and doesn't support anything you've been told by him to explain that amount of damage.
