Way overpriced as is like others said. You could have gotten a good deal "if' it had been recovered after 30 days. In most states cars recovered after 30 days get a salvage title by default even if zero damage on recovery.

There is a price for every car but for 177k you have a lot of choices.

Agreed, the incident took place - 01/23/2019 It would have already been on the CARFAX.

Too many variables and unknowns. I would take a pass on this unless it sits and the price comes down considerably making it a screaming deal.

If you were to take this car to a dealer with its history, do you think they would buy it at the price they are advertising?

Opinions?
I saw a GTS with a similar story. 6 months old, CARFAX shows stolen/recovered, sold at auction. They have it priced about 10k less than high resell.

There was a really nice 2018 991.2 GTS that soled for 97000 late last year that sideswiped a guardrail and was repaired buy a certified Porsche bodyshop. Comparable cars were going for $130+ at the time.

Beating the same drum as others but that's a horrendous price. I've been looking at Turbo S coupes (not cabs) and that thing is priced about 30k too high even if it didn't have any title issues. With that title issue, that is probably a 120k car tops. You're not starved for choice of 2018 Turbo S cabs, plenty coming off leases and into CPO.
