Too much for a salvaged title

There are no stupid questions, except those that are not asked. Always research a VIN before wasting your time checking the boxes.

salvage title? damn that's overpriced. Maybe like 50k

Please PM me with repaired salvage 991 GT3's for $50k, I will buy 5 of them.

Side topic - does anyone know how a car gets tagged with a "salvage" designation? The link above shows $32K of repairs on a $164K car. What's the threshold for "salvage"? And does that vary by state or is it a national thing?

General rule - Cost of Repair + Salvage value > Cash Value of Car. This rule is tweaked by state regulations.

There's a white one on Copart that looks like a reasonable project car. The buy it now is around $65k. Banks typically aren't interested in financing salvage cars, insurance becomes a hassle and selling one down the road will leave you with a narrow market. Not sure how Porsche would handle an engine warranty on a salvage car

I see people saying this all the time and it just isn't true. I have financed a salvaged titled car myself with no issues whatsoever. Yes, absolutely there are people who wouldn't touch a salvaged car. I used to be one of them but a little open mindedness and experience changed my view. Since you are buying low you'll end up selling low as well - so what?

That said, as for this car, I think there are too many components in the rear of any 911 to make me confident that everything has been repaired properly. Plus it's a GT3, people tend to be a little more passionate (read: picky) about these cars. I'd pass.

Plus the price difference between this and a non-salvage is only 10-20k.
