If you showed them the evidence of damage and proof would that force their hand in disclosing it to others on their website? If I owned that dealership and found out I would have to take my lumps and be honest enough to not say original paint at least. Even if you don't disclose the accident.

Would you guys agree if a car is paint metered and most panels are within 3.5-4 Mils. If a 6.5 registers and no PPF, that would indicate a respray? Or is that within factory specs?

thx

Correct. I’m always looking for consistency from side to side and also around the car. For instance, my Carrara White GT3 meters at 3.5-4 all the way around. Film adds about 8-10 mills, depending on brand, etc, so the front of my car with XPEL actually meters at around 12 or so. If it was 6.5, I’d be looking for signs of a repaint.

I know even Mooty has mentioned though that he has seen instances of cars with repaints but factory level thickness. So always have to keep that in mind as well.

I failed it once at tech inspection for having front rotor cracks hole to hole and out to the outer diameter.


nothing that can't be sorted with enough time and $$.

You could always threaten to put a picture of the wrecked car on their Yelp and Google Reviews page. That's pretty aggressive but not as aggressive as selling a wrecked car as original when you know better.

Fresh in is this beautiful 2007 Porsche GT3 in Guard Red matched up to a 6-Speed manual. This is an excellent example of Porsche's craftmanship with no paintwork, no damage repair, and a clean Carfax.This car has had over $12k in recent service to help give you peace of mind with the purchase of such a rare car!All factory books and 2 original keysOriginal Factory options:Black Full LeatherSelf-dimming mirrors & Rain-Sensing WipersBi-Xenon lights with Dynamic Cornering SystemHeated front seatsSeat belts - Guards RedLeather Steering WheelRed stitching dashboard, door, door handle, and seats.--Upgrades & Service:Clearbra film protecting front fasciaBlack Painted wheels with red trim stripe.Center Console and Dash Trim Strip painted in Exterior ColorIn the last 9k miles the Clutch, Flywheel, and Rear Main Seal have been replacedThe Gearbox and Diff have been completely refreshed with all Porsche OEM partsThe car has been recently treated to new pads and rotors.Fresh suspension all the way around to keep the drive smooth and planted, as it was meant to be.Recent oil change with all fluids flushed and a car given a clean bill of health!This car's complete drivetrain and everything powering it is as close to new that you can get in one of these rare cars!
Spoke to the owner. He seems surprised. I told him I will be sending him some
Pics. Novak never told him. I did talk to him about price and if what he said is true. He is in the car car way too much.

I didn't see anything that concerning in those prior posts. It has pinned coolant pipes as well, fresh clutch, rebuilt LSD and some other nice mods (assuming it's as last sold). Sure, it's not perfect, but at least it's a documented 20K mile, no paint work, Silver RS car, and IMO, this is probably a better buy than these $125-$130K non-RS cars that are popping up left and right.

If this is the silver car I inspected at Irvine Porsche in 2019, I'd wouldn't buy it unless I just wanted a track rat. Its' beat. You can't tell from the pictures, but it's beat. Also, I do think that the rear passenger side quarter was painted.

Interesting. The paintwork wasn't and still isn't disclosed so it sounds like some additional due diligence is in order.

I just clicked on the link and the ad is gone. Good cars like this don't last long.
