I didn't catch those, how about these from the same shot:

Crushed looking bracket about the spare on the driver side.
Center pins missing from the push pin fasteners on the black trim panel between the bumper and frunk.
Plastic "window" missing from the passenger side trim panel next to the battery cover.

Definitely had some kinda work done to the front end and these items suggest it wasn't done to factory standards.

Sold at $16k....suspect. Not 40th AE number plate, seats were not comfort seats as sited, seats were black, not graphite gray, wrong rims....but it did have the x51 package. I bet this car is hot.

Bidder had only 7 feedback rating. 60% of his bids were on two separate vehicles offered by the same seller, so almost certainly a shill bidder.

Perfect... also get him a set of tools & the bentley manual, he'll really learn to appreciate great cars and doing minor/moderate repairs himself!

Oh, hell yes, I want a Rennfax. Please, please, please gnat! And while you're at it, can you post a pic of you being eaten by the spoiler, kind of like the great white shark at Universal Studios:




Plus, he's buying a turbo - ya gotta invite him to join the 996tt forum. He'll be a huge hit over there.

Well as soon as it gets here and I get it deposited I'll get right on it for you. I don't get to the bank very often so you might want to contact the seller and let them know it will be a few weeks.

Alternatively you can just PayPal it to me at cornfedprovocateur@stupidattorney.org.

Hi guys.
So I saw the car on Sunday, and picked it up today.
I will start another thread to introduce myself, and will post some pics.
Just wanted to thank you for helping me make the decision.

Thanks again,
Meir.

You're obviously new here. We've been told we aren't helpful and just drag the forum down!



Congrats

Pics don't do that color justice. Also not sure how they think it is a black interior, but ok...
