UPDATE:
Seller responded to my questions. Now the picture is more clear as to why this is priced low.
I asked if he already had a carfax (if not I'd buy one), and he said he does but only in hard-copy, which he says he can't readily email. He told me: "I have nothing to hide and I will tell you that during the last owners tenure with the car it does show an "accident or damage reported" but the report gives absolutely no description of what happened. There was a dealer in town who was trying to buy the car from me for 56k who thoroughly inspected the entire car for paintwork and found absolutely nothing.it was our best guess that whatever caused that incident report to be there had to have been an extremely minor insurance claim for a wheel or who knows what. I can't find any current or prior damage on the car anywhere, and even every piece of glass is factory.
I only have the service history I obtained by calling Harper Porsche who looked after the car for the last 4 years. "
Yeah.
Then in response to a question about the condition of the driver's seat, he said "Driver seat back: this is definitely a wear situation and not a dirty situation. Most dealers take care of this sort of thing by having the material re-dyed by mobile detailing services so the customer is never the wiser the seats ever had any wear, but I obviously don't have easy access to that to sort of thing and would have to find someone to do it."
So somehow whoever had this car wore through the leather. It isn't something that I can clean away.
I'd maybe feel better if he had stated the bit about the accident report in the original ad instead of me having to get it out of him, but then again to his credit he did tell me about it now. Regardless, this really put a damper on things for me. I'll never know what the accident report was about, and I also have no real service records. Sigh.
