Isn't it their job to know Zookie? Should not any tech know pretty much right away? Maybe I give them too much credit.

Would you assume they'd check engine numbers etc? Or even when they take the car in as trade, they'd search the VIN? Or maybe they knew.... and got a great deal and now want to make some mega profit $$$

Thanks for posting. Good reminder on buying used.
I have ran across this before. Tell them what was found and give them a chance to make it right first....

They will probably just remove the "Clean history , no accidents or insurance claims" from the advert.

Or maybe remove from sale and punt it off into auction somewhere.

Is the "Clean history , no accidents or insurance claims" actually incorrect? It had the engine out, but insurance doesn't care about that. Unless it got hit and written off, it will not have a salvage title.

Technically clean from a Carfax point of view, right?

Looks like Mclaren Toronto has pulled the advert from their website!

I did grab a screenshot from Autotrader before they pulled it from there as well:-

We have a 997 GTA group chat and the owner is on the chat. Super nice guy, I guess he bought it privately from someone believing it was a clean car based on carfax etc... ****ty deal though that's for sure. They seem to have tons of cars on consignment, which makes sense so they don't have to finance buying the cars and it looks like they have inventory but I bet they do as little as possible with the consigned cars because they don't technically own them.

Would be interesting to know more about it. Original engine / donor? Any receipts etc. Super crappy for him however.

Yikes. So did he only find out now from this thread? Given that the Pfaff listing also relayed that it was clean.
