Yep, it is a parts car. Also here in Canada values are lower due to our population and seasonality. I think Wayne went to look at it as it's literally across the road from his shop.

 

It would be a shame not to get the rear covered until auction. Also this is worth saving considering it is a GTS and the damage is very superficial - mostly body parts swap.

 

Which Wayne went to inspect the car?

 

I would certainly do it at the right price point. If I were in the market for another GTS. If I did not already have three project 928s in the yard. Etc. My 82 was a far far worse starting point and it was a wonderful project that enjoyed as a project and as a daily driver for many years. But you'd have to get in at $10k or under.

 

From my years of buying cars from Copart it will probably sell for more than $25k and be exported to some far off corner of the world. Time will tell

 

Can it be brought into the US from Canada and be repaired? Shame to see it go into oblivion.

 

Not sure how old the pictures are, but the interior pictures certainly do not appear like it has been sitting out in the snow and rain....

 

Does anyone know the build details on this car? Heres the VIN from the door plate.

Germany don't know salvage titles and so someone in the 3 baltic states buy this car, fix it and sell it to us here in Germany.
If the fix is good nothing to complain but sometimes they fix real wrecks and are a danger for health and live!

 

While it echoes so many others on this thread, here's how this all goes down.

They may or may not shrink wrap it. Normally for a car like this, they will. Depending on how long before you get your prized GTS home, that shrink wrap will adhere itself pretty well requiring much elbow grease to remove the adhesive and let's hope it doesn't pull paint off or etch itself into the paint.

See that pile of parts? They will ram most of it into those prestine leather seats causing dents, holes and abrasions. Now I say most of it cause inevitably, the one part you really needed will be missing.

Listed with keys, you may get them, you may not.

Fees, Copart will nickel and dime the crap out of you almost borderline comical. They charge you an "internet bid fee" a "gate fee" a "title mailing fee (not postage)" plus your buyers premium. The list goes on.

Oh. Another zinger, the car won't always come as you see it. They like to add dents, dings, scrapes, you name it. And someone always will try to steal an emblem, center cap, tool kit etc before it ever arrives to you.

Lets also hope thst the car wasnt laid up for some unrelated malady prior to the roof colapse.

As Mark mentioned, so many of these higher end cars will wind up overseas and sell for full boat retail.

I am not a bidder on this car but buy a few hundred cars per year including a dozen or so Porsches. These auctions are like Vegas without the shows. It's all a big gamble. Every now and again, you can do okay but the odds favor the house.

 

Not ALL cars from Copart have a salvage title. They do sell cars from other dealers also. It would be interesting to see if they do give it a salvage title.

 

If it has been branded it is already done. In Ontario, this is done by the insurance company and the MTO. It is very easy to find out by purchasing a $20 UVIP at any Service Ontario location. The only way it is not branded is if the owner sold it to co-part and did not make an insurance claim. The title could also be re-buildable.

 

It’s finally up for auction. Up to 15k already
