He is a (verified) plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. A fellow forum member(Siglo) will inspect the car in my absence and see what will lead to...

 

As others have stated, those are OEM Turbo wheels apparently powder-coated black. The factory painted wheels are not all black. You can get a very nice set of barely used OEM wheels for $1500-1800.

 

Thanks for the info. I figured that they cannot be that expensive.

 

Whoever did the repair and listed it as "maintenance inspection" was the fraudulent party, not CarFax or AutoCheck.

Lucky you found out early enough to get out of the deal. Good luck in your search.

 

Yes, it is an ~$1800 option to have the wheels painted by the factory. I had mine done by a body shop for about $500.

 

a big fat NO

 

2000$ is nothing to worry about i bit its just a small scratch

 

Some of you guys are blowing this out of proportion. If it was a purely cosmetic injury to the bumper, then it is not a big deal at all. I recall when a good friend took delivery of his new 996TT in 2001. his wife opened the electric gate into the bumper on the third day! It was purely cosmetic and surely was not cheap to repair, the car was fine for many years thereafter. But I would still use it as a bargaining tool with the selling dealer.
Nothing beats a thorough inspection by a respected shop. The Carfax is kind of a joke, its only as good as the information ( or lack ) put into it. I would never depend on it alone.

 

Tip-pass.
