I won a ‘16 911 Carrera 4 GTS

Certainly looks like the same car. It looks like a lot of effort from that first sale at $20,000 to get to $33,000. Perhaps this is a way of making money. Take a heavily destroyed car, make it look like it's only mildly destroyed, and sell it to someone that can (or thinks that they can) take it to final completion. Is that possible on this car? I know nothing about repairing body/frame work. OP, I hope this turns out well for you.
Maybe they slapped on a quarter panel. Transferred everything else from a parts car?
No way they did not lose money here.

Damn, you messed up, I almost did this at one point. Seemed like a good idea.

Similar topic, but does anyone know the history/situation with this car? Beautiful car.

One thing for certain, is think long and hard before putting anymore money into that car if in fact they're the same unit as in the google pic. Even if you "rehab" that car at a large cost, it will always trade at a steep discount. Move slowly and wisely.

Pick up the magazine Sports Car Digest (www.sportscardigest.com)--actual magazine, not the website--and you will find info on lawyers who specialize in auto transaction issues.
If you need repair shops, I can give you a few in the NYC/LI area...though they won't be cheap.
Good luck. (BTW, you're not the only one to have played around on a auction site and "won." Ask me how I know.)

Step 1. Open a Youtube account.
Step 2. Make a video titled "I just bought the lowest priced 2016 Carrera GTS in the country"
Step 3. Share your experience.
Seriously though, tons of similar videos online and people love to watch them. Hope this works out for you.

I'm very sorry this happened to you. Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes regret is the worst feeling in the world. I hope you're able to recoup your money by claiming false advertising, as it sure appears that was the case here.

Sweet Jesus!!!
This is outright fraud. False advertising on every imaginable level.
Do not touch that car with a 10 foot pole. Do not take possession of it.
"Airbags did not deploy"?? Did not deploy into outer space??
Who's the culprit. Seller who consigned? The auction house?
Good luck in dealing with these types of people in an "amicable" manner.
These are your run-of-the-mill chop-shop folks who don't care even when it's at their doorstep.
Get a lawyer, or contact the office of the local state attorney.
Last option, as tacky as it may sound, contact their local TV "News" station for an exposé.
