Thanks Alqn, that's helpful. The first one shows damage on the carfax to the rear immediately before it went to auction. That's a pretty big red flag.

Oohhh I didn’t look at the car fax ... yeah I agree it is a no go, no wonder the price is on the low side.

This is a VERY low price for a 997.2 GTS, especially a 2012.

Here's the build sheet.

And a clean carfax.

Timing isn't spectacular for me but I might inquire anyway.

Called - it's under contract. I'm not alone in looking for these - they got like a dozen calls the day they posted it.

Jesus - it's now for sale again at a different dealer for $92K.

I was a little worried about that.

If this has what 911-flipping has gotten to, the end is nigh, I say.
