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.
Imo To me It depends on level of damage and carfax history. I bought a 2005 911 carrera s cabriolet end of last year with minor water damage from copart. Car only had 4700 miles on it. Water was only in floorboards. Fresh water. Just replaced module under driver seat for top, frunk and trunk to work. In all with transport i paid 26k. Car is now a rebuilt title. I will never sell it so it does not bother me.
Were you able to get it insured?
