Hi All,
Went to have a look at another couple of cars at the weekend (in my search for a nice 991.1) and despite appearing to be well sorted mechanically, I was quite surprised at the poor condition of the paintwork on both cars - especially given their asking price.
Both were only a few years old, with low miles but presented with noticeable swirl marks and some deeper scratches that wouldn't be capable of being buffed out to be frank my 55,000 mile Merc was in far better condition when I sold it and a lot less money!
Having viewed a number of 997 and 991 models now at OPCs, I'm starting to wonder whether I'm going to find the sort of car, in the sort of condition I'm after through the official network. I know some owners simply don't care for their cars but I'd expected the standard of presentation to be much higher at an official dealership - is it me? :dont know:
