@Classic_chris111 Please help me understand whether we’re talking about damage to the rear-end as described by CarFax, or is it damage to the front-end (collision? w a “deer”) as we read in the description.
So the "previous owner met face with deer” which is reported by CarFax as damage to rear end??
"09/08/1997
Accident reported:
minor damage with another motor vehicle” [not deer]
Yet the rear-end section of the damage-chart is highlighted in blue.
I’m confused. Please explain. Thank you kindly.
@mfacks @Classic_chris111 ...sorry....found the explanation of the damage/repair, in the previous listing

@Classic_chris111 Thank You, Chris....I was referring to detailed images of the "previous" damage, which were to be included in the gallery, as described in the intro.
Good Morning everyone! My name is Chris and I will be representing this beautiful 1997 Porsche 993 Carrera 4s. I am just getting the hang of the auction space so bear with me as I collect answers for your requests. Let me know how I can help and happy bidding!
@mfacks There is no damage to the vehicle there was an accident listed on the carfax where previous owner met face with deer. There is no PPF on the vehicle and that is actually a smudge of some kind I just checked and will upload a photo for your review.
@Blairwarlock There are service records dating back to 1997 noting routine maintenance, tires and aftermarket suspension upgrades.
Silver on black manual 4S? Wow.
I am not seeing the detailed images of the damage, in the gallery. Is there any PPF on the front end? Is that a full thickness scratch in the paint on the right rear bumper? Thank You in advance
Are there any service records?
