You’re welcome. Yes, there should be a manufacturing/options sticker on the frunk lid underside. For me it would be a point to resolve with the owner. No reason to remove it and they typically stay put (even if sometimes faded to be almost unreadable).

well they sent me a pic of the underside of bonnet and NO paper sticker,..It does have the dealers ID tag at bottom LHS,but I could not read that info,..

should that be a deal breaker,I betcha it crunched the hood and more at some point.

Impossible to say from a distance. Is there a CARFAX or similar report? If so, bear in mind that a CARFAX or similiar report may not show any or all repairs if they were kept off of the books. Also, a PrePurchaseInspection (PPI) might uncover repairs - or - the car might be great with a perfectly good reason why it doesn’t have the sticker.

A professional would need to do a hands on inspection to give you an informed opinion.

Thanks Oldcarguy,...I did find out it went to our local Porsche shop, for a front trunk release and a headlight washer fix,.A. he did not mention anything about replacing hood,B.does not show that service on the car fax,just shows tires and Alignment,

Wish I could talk with the last owner,..
