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.

    Yea this is absolutely correct, there’s a lot of garbage about salvage cars that gets repeated especially in the Porsche world by guys who think they’re Ayrton Senna and that the car “won’t feel the same” after it’s had a minor head-on repaired. They don’t realise that literally every Carrera Cup or Porsche Supercup 911 has literally been rebuild over and over but gets dialed back in perfectly each time. My current car is the first non-salvage car I’ve ever owned, and I’d happily enjoy the discount they come with again in the future. The only way to tell the current condition and state of a car is to put it on a lift and carefully inspect it, making guesses based on how clean or dirty the title is leads you to make poor guesses.
