Maybe I’ve been watching too many Tavarish videos but would you ever take the risk and buy a salvage Porsche? I love Targas and found a sweet looking one on copart with very little cosmetic damage. Buy it now price is $72k so it seems more than worth it in the right circumstances.
My take is that if you don’t plan on selling it, it may be worth a roll of the dice. That being said, the stated/known problems may be the tip of the iceberg, and you may be buying a money pit. $72k isn’t pocket change(for most)so id proceed with caution. I wonder if there’s a way to inspect the car prior to purchase.
For me I would need to have $75k in cash in a means I could lose 90% of it. Or building a track car. A 992 has a stack of sensors and electronics that will add up in cost fast.
Nope b/c I don’t have the skills to rebuild one and it’s expensive to pay for the skills of people that do
That’s what YouTube is for!
Yes
Nope because when you go to sell it, you knock out so many potential buyers who won’t buy a wrecked car. Your driving an older car with more miles and a salvage title when you sell. So you have all that going against you when you decide to sell. Most higher end car buyers won’t even consider regardless of price a salvaged or wrecked higher end car
I personally would not because the anxiety of trying to resell it later kills the fun for me, I never keep any car forever. I passed on a 50th anniversary 991 that was a great deal, because it had 2 separate accidents on the Carfax and had been sitting for 4 months at the dealer. It sat for another month after I passed it up.
So many people shit on salvage cars acting like the car is botched with other outlandish claims. Salvage vehicles retain 80% of their value. I thankfully drive a clean title… but to those of you out there make sure to check his/her registration… that’s where it’s at. Personally idc THAT much if it’s clear title or salvage more so if it’s actually yours or leased/financed. But buying wise if it was a roll over or water damage I’d say stay tf away ~ at least 15 feet.
