I hope a local didn't swipe it up after seeing the discussion here. Always a risk I guess

If a local bought it, I will definitely run into it. Keep you guys posted if I see it. I was ready to go inspect it Saturday.

Yeah thanks Scott, that’s a nice example, but a little above my price range at the moment.

I’ve actually been drooling over your RS green listing for a while too. Spring is actually better timing for me budget-wise so if by any chance it's still available by then I’ll be in contact 🙂.

Ok, eagle eye back in action. Incredibly clean car for the miles and looks to have little to no track time, until you look at the underside of the front bumper. I also have an issue with the back bumper but I'll delve into the front first. First it looks like it's been painted as it's incredibly clean for a car with those miles. No marks at all I can see, even the underside is spotless.

I'm comparing the the underside of the front tub with the white RS that West coast sold then was resold on BAT last month. This current undertub looks glossy, and looks like the driver's side is deformed and/or was repaired. Also the brush circles on this one have tails. Never seen this either, but then again I've not inspected many of them. Just going off what I can find on the internet and my two cars.

Current White RS on Bat:

Prior White RS on Bat:

Rear Bumper: Wavy around the bottom of the taillights and the bottom of the left side has a deformity that protrudes out the bottom.

WAVY under taillights:

The brush circles are ok because it is in fact brushed freehand on at the factory, but to your point that tub has had more than fixed scrapes, it has a kink that’s most likely been pushed out from the other side, which indicates a front driver side impact (hard). Youll also notice the frunk plug hole is missing it’s rubber plug, which I believe only can be removed from the inside

id be taking the liner out of the frunk on this one before I bought it

the tub finish is also satin not semi-gloss. ok Ill stop lol

inside a healthy tub for whomever buys that car
