Not sure why all the negativity. IMHO the price reflects the miles and not much else. The accident was almost 10 years and more than 100k miles ago - surely not a factor in the car’s condition compared with other factors like service history in the interim period!

If you have mechanical aptitude and can address minor issues its a hell of deal. If you have to rely on dealers and mechanics for everything, run as fast as you can. That simple, what do you know, what can you do..... I can replace my 991.2 spark plugs for $109 in parts. Dealer wants $950?

Two ways to look at it: I can't buy one at a higher price. This is all I can afford. OK then buy it and cross your fingers nothing major goes down. But most likely it will....
Or I CAN buy something nicer, and I'm figuring out the economics of this vs more money: I figure over-mileage at about a buck a mile, which in this case is absurd because the mileage is so high. At 3k/year a 2013 typically has 30k miles on it so you would be over by 90k miles...so toss that out the window. Maybe .50 a mile? That's a $45k markdown for mileage.
You buy cheaper upfront then you will sell cheaper when you sell while assuming more risk of major $$$ during ownership. And high mileage cars are very hard to sell.

Just like the guys that put M badges on BMWs and AMG on Mercs. The guy wants to impress. Doesn't preclude a purchase....by itself.
