O and one California law question....When i asked the dealer if a car had an accident or is salvaged..he sed "no the CarFax is clean". Well its not clean, it had an accident and it is on carFax. So the dealer has small holding deposit that is "non refundable", but it was given with an impression that the car had a clean carfax! Is that against the law for dealer to lie about accident and not refund deposit? Or just too bad so sad?

Can the dealer inspection tell if the car's been wrecked? Maybe and maybe not. It's not always easy to tell visually and they don't have the chassis measuring facilities to check mechanically.

I would disagree with this statement.

It is fairly easy for an experienced Porsche mechanic to tell if a car had been hit, esp if they get underneath it.

Moreover, they should have done the paint with a meter which will always reveal if the car has been repainted.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's nearly impossible to tell the difference between well repaired accident and a simple repaint. If it's well done, you definitely can't tell by a simple visual inspection.

Re-read what I wrote. If you look underneath the car, the damage repair is fairly obvious. I know, I have been under quite a few with the mechanic showing me what to look for.

Re: the paint, you need a meter to really tell. I said that too!

I disagree. I've seen some incredible damage repairs.

the aero kit (front scoop things and side skirts) is actually a Tech Art type I (or copy of said kit) added to a stock boxster S front...
