Question Targa 4 with accidents

Year: 2012
Make: Porsche
Model: 911
Cont. Porsche Models: 911
Mileage (numbers only please): 50000
Color: any
Price (no $ sign please): $1
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (Region): NorthEast
Body Style: Targa
Transmission Type: Manual - 6 speed
2 or 4 Wheel Drive?: 4 Wheel Drive

I saw an ad for a 2009 Targa 4 for $46k, but it had two accidents. It seems like a good deal and it's so rare, but 2 accidents will definitely affect resale, yeah?

Two accidents will impact resale value.

carfax references a clutch replacement at 7K miles which doesn't sound good

It may be a tad premature to mention this, but I am pondering the possibility of parting with my 2007 Targa 4S in the future. It has been a phenomenal car over the 2.7 years I have owned it. Quick details:

2007 Targa 4S

-46,800 miles
-6 Speed manual
-Stunning Guards red exterior, full leather (black) inside.
-Heated seats, Sport Chrono, full leather, aux. plug added
-No accidents, no paint work, ever. Detailed often by professionally trained enthusiast PCA member (me).
-997.2 upgraded wheels (powder-coated gloss black)
-Genuine Porsche front Aero bumper (original bumper retained) - new paint protection film when this was added.
-LED Taillights (originals retained)
-Current maintenance. Recent clutch job with flywheel.
-Purely a weekend car and garage ornament in a heated garage during the winter.

With that said, I understand the Targa 4S's have become hard to obtain and have increased in value. When the time comes, i'll be fairly firm on it's market value. I paid top-dollar when I purchased the car (locally) due to it's impeccable condition, and will expect the same.

That and the lack of options; that car is probably one of a few BASE 997.2 T4S out there.

haha. Although I would have seen it later that night as a I had an active search on Autotrader setup. At any rate I owe Abe Froman a six pack. Although, the sausage king of Chicago doesn't need any freebies.

Congrats!! Brown German AWD manual hatchback. The ultimate enthusiast car!
Looking forward to the day later this year when I move from my 2010 GTI into a 997.2...Rennlist is going to be a big advantage when finding the right car.

Here are some shots from the dealer, including the obligatory open hatch and interior glass roof shots.

Speaking of the dealer I should give a plug to Isringhausen as they have been a good dealership so far. I called up and was transferred to Geoff Isringhausen, Jr. When I called they had just finished CPO'ing it, and didn't have pictures up, but he immediately texted me some picture and went over everything. We had a deal in about 5 mins. Sean Oliver was also very helpful and easy to deal with. The whole process took only a few minutes and a few phone calls. They are shipping the car out monday. So far it's been very smooth and easier than most dealerships I've dealt with.

Congrats on the acquisition, TRP. She's a beauty.

Spotted this clean Guards Red Targa 4S on Ebay last night (no affiliation). http://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-Porsche...m=122295833958
