Frp front bumper so check for accidents.

You'll most likely pay dealer doc fees and any prep fees. Not sure on Seattle taxes but here in IL, you would probably save over $1500 on taxes if bought from private sale instead dealer since state has flat tax structure on private sale.

That's a nice and rare color btw.

So maybe I'd be looking at around 2000 on top?

Depends on how Seattle's private auto sales tax structure is setup.

State sales tax in Washington state is the same percentage whether dealer or private sale. For a private sale you pay tax to the State when you license the vehicle, and the amount is based upon the sales amount you report to the DMV at the time. Be aware that if you report a sales figure that is too low according to the State's valuation database, they will either charge you tax that their valuation table shows or force you to prove there is damage or some other problem with the car making it's value less.
The dealer just charges you tax at the time of transaction.

Thank you, luckily they've lowered the price 2000. I'm gonna bide my time and hope they lower it a bit more. If it gets sold its not the end of the world.

Went and looked at it. Rebuild engine top to bottom. Was purchased by friend of the owner but returned for another vehicle. Not sure why. Could be a bad sign.

When I go to test drive what are some things to watch for? Common issues with that year 911?
