definite crash up front indicative of the severely mismatch in color between bumper and body.
Not saying you're wrong, but fwiw, every 997 I've owned, and I've had 4, has had a variation between the color on the metal vs color on the plastic parts. It's more pronounced under certain conditions.
Look at the rear bumper on this car as well. You can see the variation.
I know the folks at RAC and they're high quality people and a high end dealer. If there was damage, it'll be disclosed.
Looks like a reasonable price, if you can get past the all red interior. I think red interior could be cool, but feel the floor carpet could be a different color to add a little contrast.
I just bought a 12 back in October. I just saw the Manual and thought I would pass it on. I have the Carrera White over Carrera Red Full Leather Cab. I do have black deviating carpet though.
I own a GT silver 997TT and I definitely don’t have that severe mismatch. I paint giant scale model airplanes and unfortunately have become an expert on matching colors due to the not so great flying skills. Been doing it since the early 90’s. Yes it is true that a slight variation under direct sun will have an effect. But in this case, you see the difference from all angles. The sides of the bumper are what I look at.
Here is my car as an example. Take a look at the hood and bumper. Specifically the top of the hood and the bumper. What you see is normal. Take a look of the side shot, almost perfect match. My bumper is OEM, never been painted.
For some reason a lot of silver/gray 997s seem to photograph like that. There have been quite a few times where I see one listed and instantly think the bumper has been replaced, but better photos usually remove that suspicion.
