Non-Porsche people just don't think the headlights are that ugly. Point out a 996 to someone who isn't a Porsche person and ask them why they're disliked among car people. They'll never pick out the headlights.

While I don't think they are nice as the 997, they would never be a deal breaker for me.

P.S. I f you are that bothered by the headlights, they sell covers to "fix" the look.

Saw this from the road at a red light today so I took note of the dealership and found it online for you.

Happy to take it for a test drive for you if you want or help deliver it since I’m local.

Please note it’s likely My google maps will find the longest way to your house if I am ever behind the wheel if this thing so don’t be surprised if the mileage is a little off.

If you get a Mercedes like that make sure it is a certified pre-owned with the ELW Mercedes warranty and no other type of aftermarket warranty. 90% of the time is better if you get the car from a Mercedes dealer because it means it got certified the right way and it will have a full CPO warranty which is bumper to bumper and ELW warranty covers all safety and electrical items(no cosmetics). A GMC or Toyota dealer will sell you a trade in from which they do not service theose cars, some of those dealers take the option to take care of the car and send it to a Mercedes dealer for a full inspection and repairs, so it all comes down how much that dealer wants to spend on that car to re-sell it at its value or if they try to cover things up and just take your money. Now getting an AMG is about the same, but AMG owners really don't sell their cars that easy unless they make home for a newer AMG and of course you have to look out for any structural damages from accidents that DO NOT appear on Carfax... There is a Russian dealership in Springfield that sells high end luxury cars with a clean Carfax, that dealership is known across all the Mercedes and other high brand dealers due to the fact that they will buy totaled vehicles(or flooded) and register those vehicles in PA until repairs are done and then register the car back in Jersey and they been fooling a lot of people making them think the car has a clean title. When I worked at Mercedes of Union they try to pull their shady crap at MB of Union to try to get repairs done under warranty and then they started sending their cars to other dealers. I would probably buy a high end Mercedes at a Chevy or Honda dealer because it's obviously a trade in, but never buy a high end car at a used car dealer because either was wrecked, flooded or declined after a CPO inspection. When I used to do CPO inspections and condemn a car, we used to send them to the auction, the same auction that gets the flooded cars. And about those aftermarket warranties on high end cars, most of the time I see them declining work on cars when the bill is too high, the customer lose money on those aftermarket warranty payments and diagnostic time.

Yeah but what does a real Ferrari look like these days? One of the things I like about Lamborghinis (and Porsche) is you immediately know what it is.

Ferrari interior switches get faded and gunky, Porsches from the 80s and early 90s get cracks on the dashboard. If you find either vehicle in a decent shape you need to keep it away from the sun and go to an experienced auto detailer

Interesting - so would you suggest buying a high end car from a place like Bring A Trailer?

Probably yes, I definitely have to be careful... Definitely bring someone with experience on high end or classic vehicles. Usually car brokers do have the experience on what flaws to look for, but they probably charge a lot just for an inspection. I have seen all kinds of things, good and bad from all places, but nothing worst than a dedicated used car dealership, I know there are some used car dealers that are careful with what they purchase to re-sell but you don't see luxury and exotic much, and then are car brokers who most of the time get rare and exotic vehicles.
