I don't and although the price doesn't seem out of line the wheels alone would worry me. Scuffs and marks on them along with quite a hodge podge of lug nuts. That doesn't seem like a caring owner has had this car.

It is a 66k mi car, so I wouldn't expect it to be perfect. The fronts have 4 silver lugnuts and the anti-theft lug. On the rears, its hard to tell since they are very far inset on these wheels, but on one side kinda looks the same as front. The other side rear doesn't have enough light to show the nuts.

The paint looks pretty darn good, as you can see the photographer in the door side shot and the fender shots look good too. And it looks to have one of the Aero Kit packages with front spoiler chin and the rear wing (not an expert here so some can verify if these look factory). Mismatched F/R tires (Hankook Ventus V12 Evo110 on rear, Dunlop front, but not a deal breaker). Rear script is in a non-factory location (IIRC for a wing'ed 993). Front bumper might have a whitish spot on the left center, but probably a reflection...

I believe this car has been sold two weeks ago. Spoke with the owner just a few days before he sold it. Seemed like solid weekend car.

What's with the mismatched lug nuts and front and rear tires!? Doesn't seem to be very much attention paid to details but the price seems to be in line provided that the Carfax and PPI results are acceptable. The exhaust tips appear to have a rolled lip so they're not the wide ovals. It's a shame that the stock 993 engine lid with split grille doesn't come with it.

I hate it when people cant put the effort in to place the rear script in the right place.

Oh I am glad you haven't seen my 993. Although my lug nuts match. And I am a caring owner. I promise.

I agree, it's a shame that people don't research prior to doing something like that.
