Would you consider a 997tt with rear damage?
Guys here's the deal:
<O</O
Found this great 2007 tt with a major window price tag ($143k) however the Porsche service records show a bumper damage from a minor collision(less than $2000 damage). The car is perfect in every way possible and the price tag is at least $5k less than what the dealers are asking. It's an early edition purchased in 12/2006 with some warranty remaining and 17k miles on the clock. Carfax is clean, no mentioning of the incident anywhere... <O</O
<O</O
So, my question is: If looking to buy, would you consider this car?<O</O

Agreed. If the price is really that attractive taking into account the previous damage and there was no structural compromise of the car, I'd consider it.

Get the local dealer to take off the rear bumper and inspect it. Taking the rear bumper is relatively easy. If it was just cosmetic bumper damage, I wouldn't worry about it too much..

The vehicle was taken to Newport Porsche(they wrote up the service ticket), damage was repaired at Sterling Collision, maybe I can give them a call for damage assesment?
