Default Dupahead GT3 For Sale / PRICE REDUCED! Conflicting Reports!

Hey guys, relisted the car back up on ebay.. and to my surprise their Autocheck history is in conflict with my CARFAX!!!. My carfax is 100% clean, however the autocheck indicates a possible accident or damage, luckily no indication of anything major? Could this be a mistake, or is CARFAX garbage??

Anyhow, need to let the car go asap.. Dropped the price from 57k down to 47k.

Does it state where the damage might have been in the AutoCheck documentation?

As a professional detailer any good detail / body shop should be able to look over the car and verify if there really was any damage and corresponding paint / body work.

Couldn't even imagine the hassle it will be to get that reporting fixed though. Sorry to hear about the conflicting reports.

...BTW the interior of that car is my favorite that I've seen.

CarFax is a waist of money for our cars. No police on insurance no carfax

that carfax will provide clean reports on GT3 with over $70K in repairs. If no police report is filed regarding the crash there is a very good chance Carfax will not have a record. Might be good for the masses but it will be a false peace of mind. Extensive PPI is the only way to be sure. liners off.

This is a nice deal! So what if there was an accident, as long as it was repaired to spec is all that matters! I was eyeing this car a few weeks ago @ your original listed price, hoping you would take lower! If this deal was available a week ago, I would've bought it!!! I purchased an 04 Gt3 w/ twice as many miles & 1 reported accident in the low $40's! Keep your head up this car won't last at this price!!!!!

Can not agree more. My first GT3 was stuffed at VIR while still belonging to Porsche(press car). I got a great deal with new car money , new car warranty and a CPO extension. Everything was straight and put together just right. It was a great car and had 60,000+ miles on it when I got my new car. Just make sure everything is put together correctly.
