I agree that there are a lot of good parts in that car, brakes, probably all 4 wheels, engine, transmission, computer. Probably carpets, some interior parts. Maybe it would be a great pickup for someone with a _lot_ of time to strip everything of value.

Is that just a rollover?

Or is the car cut to pieces by the fire department trying to get the occupant(s) out?

To add insult to injury, they covered the car in spray paint / wax pencil writing.

you'd figure someone that has taht kind of $ to be sporting a 996C4 would be able to keep his garage in a state that wouldnt collapse. what a liar!!!

Maybe that's what happens when you buy 20 bags of cement from Home Depot and use the roof rack to get them home.

if the car wasnt registered in march '02 i would have thought the car was crushed on 9/11

i know a parking garage in downtown manhattan did collapse at the seward park housing complex. it doesnt look like it rolled.

Looks like it got ran into one side rolled then into a pole or something?? I go to a salvage auction/insurance pool on wednesdays this spring they had a 996TT car that went through with a flood title. Car was perfect I didn't see any damage Car drove fine in lot etc. That thing brought 52000 with a salvage title.

Looks like a collapsed garage to me, why would they lie about it? What I don't buy is that the wheels are good. I doubt they are still true.
