I too am waiting for info on the incident on CarFax.
Also- not understanding the PPF comments vs chips in the paint. Can you provide some clarity?
Thanks-
@smithvolvo there is PPF, but I’m sure we can get you a paint meter reading shortly.
@dpma sorry for the delayed response. Will get you some information on the incident history as soon as possible.
@Chardo6 sorry about the delayed response. A bit new to this platform. There are a couple of minor chips on the front and back, but it is PPF. Working on sending you a video. I’ll also get you a little more insight on the Internet history.

Hey Seller...you out there? Couple questions soon to be 2 and 3 days old. Appreciate the help!
Bid in the amount of $30,000
Do you have any information regarding the damaged shown in the CarFax report?
I almost bought a 993 Coupe in this color, recently. Like most dark cars, tough to avoid stone chips and normal wear appearance. The pics show many small chips on the hood and bumper. Are my eyes deceiving me? Looks like paint refresh needed in some areas. No? Anything you feel it requires to show its very best? Thank you for the help!
