lol. So I just saw it posted 3 days ago on fb for 125k. Not sure if was the dealer bc it was listed by an individual. They were using the dealer pics. Either way trying to get more for it since they are no more. So glad now I did not pull the trigger and listened to everyone here. The company played it down like it was a easy repair. Glad you are ok. Did you get another one? It was a great test drive even though that exhaust was a bit loud.

Yeah, I wasn't in the car fortunately. If there were a passenger, it would have been bad. The driver was fine, other than bruised ego.

Bought another one, but not quite the spec I wanted. Still, it's a great car. Also, I agree with your assessment on the fabspeed exhaust...it was a bit much. It added good hp, but it had a lot of drone.

I'll have to find that car on ebay. Now I'm curious.

Default Prepaid service

If anybody decides to roll the dice on this car, it does have a $5k prepaid porsche service. I could get porsche to transfer that for me, so might as well let any potential buyer know. It's now listed with flood damage...this poor car. Breaks my heart.

Personally, I wouldn’t buy a salvage car at any price; certainly not at that price.
2-3 Spyders had just sold for over MSRP last month. Where are you getting that data from?

That being said no I would save 10k just to buy a salvaged Spyder. Just spring for the extra cash and get a car under warranty for low miles and no worry, such as it is.

also with Winter coming prices will likely cool a little until next Spring.
