I like the car but like others have expressed, I have my doubts about 38K miles. I guess it depends upon the type of documentation you have which addresses the mileage. That had to be a pretty good hit to damage the inner fender well. Did you pop the rocker cover off to see if the damage extended into the longs?

Personally, I think it is a good car in spite of the damage and that would not scare me off. I know there is a NOS inner fender on eBay right now for around $400 and I would grab that and replace the damaged one. The 38K would not make the car any more attractive than it already is whether it is 38K or 138K or 238K.

Good luck to you and the seller.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) My car has close to 130k documented miles, and it is in very similar condition from a cleanliness/wear perspective. The carpets are actually better. I think that this car has a lot of potential, but I would not pay a mileage premium. You know what you are doing, so I am just posting my opinion and not trying to give advice. Good luck!

I also measured the opening of the targa top and it measures the same as the other one I have that has never been hit. Both sides measured within a 1/16 of an inch of each other. Appears the body is not twisted or tweaked. I will make a decision on it by the end of the weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Check the roof alignment with the roll bar, and lift the rubber sealing strip between the front trunk and the gas tank next to the impact area to see if some "hammer work" was coivered up.

The steering wheel in the first photo on page one looks like a MOMO Andretti model with the removable foam center pad. I have one in my car and I think it is a great steering wheel.

Have fun with your new 914! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
