I think there should have been a thread made with this car's VIN number to simply warn potential buyers to look at it more closely. But I don't know if it's too much of a dick move. What IS a dick move is if it turns out to be the wrecked car from Dis and Dat auto salvage. I have a copy of the PPI on the actual car Grand Prix is selling and can post it here on the forum. There are things a buyer should know. But I don't know how the forum members here would look at that.
I don't think it's an issue to post the PPI. If the dealer advertises it properly or discloses the info and prices it appropriately, it should sell, even if it was the same car, which we don't seem to know at the moment.

Obviously it could be an issue for the dealer if they bought it without knowing it had issues, but they should still do the right thing and disclose it.

If you don't feel comfortable posting the info, send the PPI to me or a couple of other members, that way if someone reaches out in the car in the future one of us can at least send it to an interested buyer.

Regarding a thread for storied cars, I think this thread serves as a good starting point for if a car has a bad DME, has issues, etc. If the car had rolled over 6 times on track, was repaired and had a clean Carfax, then a car like that probably deserves a separate thread. But for normal things that someone should know before purchasing, this thread is a good one.

I'm mistaken on the runs. It's just a wee bit of rash behind the wells. Was looking last night and though I was seeing touch up paint but upon closer examination, I can't say that.

Wow. That’s the cleanest .2 GT3 on the market. Haven’t seen many sell above MSRP though. Let’s see how long this sits.

Yes, I have a buyer and made the spreadsheet for him to compare all nb.1's. I want the buyer to take his time, do his research and buy the one he thinks is the best. He has all the time in the world. I'm not going to list my car for sale until he decides if my car is the best car for him. The spreadsheet was just an exercise in seeing what's currently available. I'm sure there are more but these are just the ones I found online.

That's a big ask for a boring color and almost no options. To me, that's a $110,000 car. Someone will scoop it up though.

Your kidding. Autocheck shows 3 owners and no accidents.

9k miles, buckets and dynamic engine mounts..... I can see a premium here. Not 133 but with the recent uptick, it's fair game now.

Carfax shows 5 owners and one structural accident.

All their other cars list Carfax reports. The fact that they only list Autocheck on THIS car which omits the accident is not a good sign if a dealer wants to be known as honest and transparent. Maybe they will add it to this listing.
