Anyone know who owned my Stinger before me?

[wittmason]

I just bought a new to me 2018 AWD Ceramic Silver Stinger last weekend from Park Place Porsche in Dallas. Someone got a nice upgrade to a new Porsche (lucky for me). This car formerly lived in Nebraska and was living on a very dusty road probably in TX somewhere. It looks like someone probably lived on gravel since there are many paint dings in the front with chipped off paint.

It's been rebadged, it's had many of the rear emblems removed and a single script stinger added to the back. Tinted, well cared for with 33k miles on it. I was curious as to what else had been done to it that I can't see.
Anyone recognize this? The dealer didn't want to give me many details (obviously).

I’m in Nebraska. Never seen it before

Nope. Looks just like every other Ceramic Grey Stinger out there. You must have found some interesting "misplaced property" under the backseats.

Nothing under the seats (missing a few manuals and a second key) - honestly looking to see when the oil was changed last

The dealer couldn't tell you that much? They should prep the car for sale, which, I would expect, should include fresh fluids (or at least confirm that the previous owner had kept up on the fluids). I know, my world is supposed to be perfect in these things.

They had it for 48 hours, they barely had time to detail it. It was such a great deal I drove down the next day not seeing any pictures of it.

Well, ask them how you can find out about the last time oil was changed? They can ask the previous owner questions, for you, a concerned customer.

The real question is....what mods are YOU gonna do to it?

 

[JaredHasselhoff]

Looks like some 2018 owners are giving up after leases we got a gt2 in the same color for 38k that’s definitely going to go down :/ and a gt1 panthera metal for 32k show up over in Portland

Yeah that is Bob Sacamanos Stinger. I could recognize it from a mile away.

What gave it away? The e badge or mudflaps, those seem to be rare additions..

I didn’t even see the mud flaps as not standard. Thanks!

Catch cans are high on the list and I think I’m going to have to have the intakes serviced/cleaned. Idles a lil rough.

New wheels are on the list after I sell my other car. Thx for asking.

 

[Nasscar]

Still looks great second hand. Hope you find the original owner. Welcome to the forum.

All Stingers idle a little high at startup, so if that is it I wouldn't worry... not that cleaning the intakes is a bad idea, or would hurt

He must of sold it/traded it in when he left Vandelay Industries to go work for the Human Fund... happened around Festivus IIRC

Lots of Seinfield fans on this forum. Good taste in cars and comedy.

I thought it was because of the massive payout he got from the his investment in the 'Bro'...or manssiere for you more genteel folk
