Ah! I remember. At that time, my guess was because of money laundering, given the nature of the other items seized. Interesting history for that car.

Sounds like an epic case:
"United States of America v. 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S et al"


Two nice cars, and not much else in his possession....

A few nice cars and some cash is all you need! Throw in some girls and you're all set

Not X51, but GTS. So same thing. I understand it's nice, I personally don't think it's worth the "new" premium so just wondering what the "used" premium is.


I understand how to tow properly, flat bed, straps over wheels and use the tow hook if needed for winching. I've helped bud strap his GT3 RS in his trailer. It's a b*, there's no clearance between the tire and fender to get your hands in there.

What I don't understand is how you "carefully" repossess a Carrera if you probably don't have the key or if it's not "easy" to get on a flat bed.


I'm not a lawyer but is it correct to assume when you say "confiscated" the guy voluntarily turned the car in?

If so, I'm sure he "returned" both keys, manual etc..

And the $5k to his name.....LOL

It is civil forfeiture so Feds probably showed up and seized the car. Whether it was done right or not I don't know, but in similar circumstances I am aware of it was either by turning over keys or by four go jacks, winch onto flat bed, get new keys/locks from dealer. It was probably stored outside though.

WGJP 993

Yep...until the Feds catch up to you with their "tow truck" or seizure papers!

If there is a lien on the car doesn't the lien holder have access to an extra set of keys in case of repossess?

Yes. The car is on consignment apparently. I spoke with the dealer in June after I saw your post STG. Was told that the car is being sold by a woman whose late husband purchased at an auction (presumably govt auction)

I was tempted to buy it but went a different direction..I think it would be a good buy in the very low 80's.

Im sure the X51 is nice.

All,

Bought this car today:

https://www.porschesilverspring.com/...tallic+1327641

One owner who traded it on a new 911. Very clean. Worked the deal before I got there, drove it and took it.

Thank you all. Reading this thread really helped.

My wife asked what will I do with all the time I am not spending looking at cars. The answer is driving this one!

Hurricane

Congrats!!!!!

Yeah, I thought the same thing. And yet, after buying my second 991S...here I am, still looking at cars! It's a sickness, I tell you!

After I bought my current 991S, I told my wife "This is the last Porsche I will ever buy - I am keeping this one forever!"

She replied, "You said that last time."

I think she is on to me!

STG

Nice job!! First Anthracite Brown 2012.5 I've ever seen with a manual as well! Enjoy. As Hurricane said, you may be hooked into visiting here still!
