Hi , just a question for you guys , I came across a 2015 - 991 for sale , low miles 28000 , no verifiable maintence , and a accident supposed to have been minor , it was repaired by a guy in a garage
not a body shop a lot of stuff was hidden it only after ? the owner and putting him into a corner that i found out this info , he wants 80k so the ? is - 80 is for a nice car no issues , i
think , a car with accident maybe 10 k less , but this with no maintenance and highly questionable. body work and paint what do you think it would be worth , the local dealer would not buy it
and carvana offered 53k what do you guys think its really worth

 

Personally, I would keep searching. There will continue to be more Pcars to choose from, but it might take quite a bit of patience to find the right one. But I wouldn't personally want to own this one because I believe (best case) it would then come back to haunt me when the day comes that I would want to move it on to a new owner.

 

Every car that's five years old has a record how it was maintained. Get the VIN and buy a CarFax and start calling the shops listed for detailed service, or look in the service books where the car was purchased. Call the service dept and let them know you're looking to purchase the car and have a question on what service you will need to do "in their shop" . Ask what they show has been done.

As far as value, I would say 58-62 depending on the sloppiness of the repairs. Base MMR is 67200

 

Why mess with this disaster? Plenty of good cars out there. Remember, if you purchase a car like this one, you will have to deal with the same issues when attempting to sell...not a great car.

 

agree with some of the others.... walk away, you'll find a better one with a documented record. I wouldn't touch this one, even at a significantly lower price.

 

thanks guys , anyone else want to weigh in

 

Personally I would get more information on the repairs and maintenance and take it from there. If the car has ha problem free miles since the time of the accident, had a good amount of mileage out on the clock without codes and you have it inspected - I think it’s something to consider.

I purchased my GTS after quite a bit of digging on the accident it was in and what/how it was repaired. My car was actually repaired by Porsche and all parts were oem. I went ahead and did the major service, replace the rotors and brakes, new tires and had it thoroughly inspected.
I decided early on that I was going to modify my Porsche and buying an older one made me realize that I was ok with some paint flaws since I was adding exterior mods to it - unless it’s wrapped in film or not driven it’s going to have rock chips and scratches.
The car I had before my GTS was a mint 2018 gt350R in Leadfoot and I was terrified to scratch a wheel or cause any damage (I don’t track) driving it around retired folks here in FL. It’s a little relieving when you can drive it like you stole it and enjoy it more without worry.

What most people are concerned with - including me; is when and if I sell it to find someone that thinks similar to me and doesn’t bother them. If they get a good deal and drive it vs park and look at it then better for them.

This is just obviously my opinion. Some second chance cars are just that - need a second chance especially if you get a good deal.

 

it was repaired in a garage not in a body shop , and he has no records of maintence in the 2 years he owned it

 

sounds like "run away"

 

Theres a lot of people trying to dump their garbage at high prices because of the car supply issues. This shouldnt effect your car buying strategy. If its not all right, its not right at all.

You are going to have a hell of a time selling this to the next guy. Porsche people are dicks with normal things, accident and sketch repair job? I dont even want to think about it. Forget a private sale. youll be eating it hard on a trade-in.

 

Agree with TXGerman. Keep looking. I got my 2015 S cab with good records for less than that in July. Mine has 50K miles. I got a great car for a good buy, but that seems high for that vehicle with questionable background. Sounds iffy at best.

 

Run, don’t walk away!

 

Pass…especially for $80K.

 

thanks for all the responses , i hear a lot say pass on it. , still curious what do you guys think its worth roundabout

 

????

dude its not worth the trouble ... how many times should everyone say it ?

offer 40k so they say yes or NO and then you walk away ....
