I second this idea. I think it's a great resource to have in general and, given there are so few GSFs around, and even less being sold, it's a doable endeavor. In addition to making sure damage is known/reported, I think it could also be a great way for someone to get a cheaper one if they are okay with some cosmetic damage or repaired damage.

I just registered so I don’t think I can send PMs. From your picture I see a small scratch? Nothing crazy or what looks like it was smashed. Unless I’m missing something? Do you have any pictures of the damage other than what you posted?

can you email me at domenick418@yahoo.com?

Understand you are buying a used car, this one having 30,000 miles, so it’s going to have cosmetic issues. Cosmetic flaws would not stop me from buying a car. Part of the joy is making it perfect. And anytime a car is traded in, it will need some reconditioning from the dealer. I have purchased many L certified cars and they have all had Cosmetic issues repaired ie rim rash etc.

To me, the number of owners and maintenance history supersedes any cosmetic flaws a car may have. The GS F is rare so people need to be realistic

My GS 430 was a total I bought at an auction that I rebuilt so I don’t have issues with cars being repaired. I understand what a used car is but the original post this was about to me was more than I was willing to accept especially after seeing the quality of work done. As for the one you quoted me about I don’t want to undo someone else’s wrap or work so I decided to table my looking for one right now.

Thanks for the comment though I agree owners and service records are more important but the repairs also have to be quality.

100% on the original car you posted about. But the Koons car seems solid. People like to customize these cars, so I don’t see the wrap as somebody trying to cover up an issue, but rather a personalized touch.
