After the false start with a doggy 996 Turbo he's considering the above. It's in Petersfield, anyone know if it was owned by a PHer?

In my opinion that looks terrible, and I can see selling it on being a complete nightmare. Who in their right mind would actually paint it in Matt Blackk rather than just wrap it - surely it'll go shiny in places after a while!

If he's had issues looking at dodgy cars already I would be inclined to give this one a rathe wide berth.

It shouldn't go shiny if looked after properly. I would say that the one pictured has not been prepared the right way as its way to shiny already asuming it was a matte finish and not a more satin but either way I would expect it to be a lot less reflective.

For example a matte black 996 (is a wrap but would be treated the same way)

I'm with matc, it looks feckin horrible. I'm a fan of matt black on big engined cars such as these but that looks truly terrible, a perfectly good car ruined. Who in their right mind would spray it in matt black instead of wrap especially as it can eventually become shiny if not looked after properly.

Dunno if i like it or not. Price is reflective of the marmite appearance so its a good buy, just not sure i could live with the shiney/matte/palstic looking bodywork. If it came wrapped over in white id say its worth a punt.

It's not actually that cheap, I've got one in stunning condition, in a better colour combo, not been fked about with and would have a years MB warranty up for not a lot more.

Glad he's gone back to looking elsewhere!

It was a trade in, he swapped it for a new one, it's genuinely in lovely condition, got one with a PP coming in soon.

Always happy to look at a deal, feel free to give me a call for a chat, or pop in.

I'm afraid not, I don't tend to work weekends if I can help it.

Can always bring a car home (live in Wimborne) one evening if it's easier?

Can do. Let me know what figures you get ref yesterdays email and we can sort the rest out after. Missus is keen at the right price so that's a bonus.
