The dealer said it appeared to be minor cosmetic damage to the rear bumper, but they could find no issues - mechanical or otherwise - anywhere, and decided to CPO it. But I would think having that damage report stay on and always appear on the Carfax is going to be an issue, even it is a CPO, right?
If I had a dollar for every time "the dealer said...."

I have a file on that car. A large file. And me having a large file on a car is either very good or very bad. My comment of "no, pass" was your freebie. I'm like a drug dealer. First hit is free....the next one'll cost you.
When are you getting another 997 GT3 in? (the GT3 RS you have a bit too rich for me). At this rate, I'm going to have to "settle" for the Ferrari 458 - being the last mid-engine NA V8 built by Ferrari etc...

All: this is seriously the most helpful car-buying thread on the Interwebs...! You guys are so knowledgeable it's ridiculous.
I've been debating getting a 997 GT3 RS recently (amazing that these prices are same as that of a 2016 GT3 RS....).
Any newer thoughts on this one that was discussed a while back here? Has minor cosmetic damage apparently, but is now a CPO (and the Porsche dealer is saying it's comparable to one that sold for $180K on BAT..), listed for 158K: https://www.porscheowingsmills.com/i...ac2a90bs783235
VIN: WP0AC2A90BS783235
Looks like I'm going to have to be very patient here...

2011 White / Red .2 RS / VIN WP0AC2A90BS783235 / 22.8k miles / Asking $158K
This car is just down the road from me,... & it is no surprise that no one has asked to set actual eyes on it. It's been for sale there for a long time

People have set eyes on it. Coming up on three years.....has to be a record.

We have a few in the pipeline, but not ready to list on the Vault. Most are waiting for RS-variant replacements, and good ones of those are hard to come by right now.
