Mate, that’s a brilliant piece of sleuthing right there. I hope you don’t work for the ATO…. LOL TwoHeadsTas, GTP911 and Raven 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Thank the seller of the Adelaide car , he was one who said do a google search for Porsche Driving experience and Bingo there they both were in a stack of images online ,,,that is something the Parramatta Dealer show be up front about . 2 hours ago, LeeM said: And people wonder why some car salesmen get a bad rap? What an a..hole! Mate he was only young under 30 as soon as I looked at the front of the rear guards and the sand blasted side skirts I could see the body language , he knew that I knew car had been tracked , its his boss or the Dealers owner Sime Darby Motor Group who should be upfront about the cars past , especially when they are asking $510K premium price . but anyway life lesson learned and info is out there for any other members to see and not fall victim to .

Grimmy Posted 16February, 2022 Report Share Posted 16February, 2022 12 hours ago, Raven said: No even if they were hugely discounted no way , it only took one glance to see both cars had done some serious track time , kinda ironic when the salesman is telling they have never been tracked and I am looking at all the evidence of it, all makes sense now similar mileage both same spec and similar rego plates , they have both done around 16000 klm ,,, time to move them on for the new RS coming this year . I can only imagine what both these cars have been through at the hands of motoring Journos and track experience crowd Amazing to think the old "only driven to church on sunday" BS is still around given the amount of information on the internet available to the average astute consumer. Even more so in this case as they are a limited delivery number vehicle and followed by enthusiasts. I have in recent times still be told "never been in an accident" when enquiring about cars, how can you even make that statement.... it would be hard to support with actual evidence if put to task. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB911 Posted 16February, 2022 Report Share Posted 16February, 2022 Walk away and keep searching - the right car will turn up, you'll know it the moment you see it!!

I know it's a really stupid question, but would you by any chance know if there's anything similar to protect the 14-way seat bottom's side bolsters from the inevitable scuffing and scrapping that will happen when my "less than fit-for-Bondi-in-the-summer" frame tries to squeeze itself through the ingress aperture of my 992 when it arrives? I had a poke around edguardusa's site but couldn't find anything comparable. I reckon it'll be easier to find seat covers/protectors than for me to lose weight, damn it...

Coincidentally the white and blue cars are right in the same neck of the woods. Saw a Lizard Green one on gold wheels today hooning around a corner. Damn it looked cool.
