Looks like fairly superficial damage, with the amount of damage visible to the bumper I doubt it has damage to the frame.
I don't plan on selling it, would probably upgrade turbos/exhaust/IC and tune and drive it
Insurance is not totaling a $260k car over $20k in superficial panel damage. $20k in Porsche world is nothing. The tub might be damaged. The packaging of the rear in a 911 is incredibly tight and there is zero dead space. If something bends, there are a lot of expensive parts that will bend. You'll also want to check if this was a flood car given the recent hurricane in South Florida, though it superficially doesn't look like there was water damage looking in the interior.

Assume the worst and budget double whatever you think the cost of repair would be. If you buy, you ought to commit to it because selling it will be impossible. Project car makes good sense, but if the car itself is bent, it may be very difficult to get it square enough to aligned properly.

I agree with others not to pay over $100k

Ex: If one has $150K in disposable income to spend on a salvage title car, you are probably in a position where a bit extra ($100K) is chump change to get a new and unmolested version.
Wow, since when is $250k only a "bit" more than $150k? Thats 66% more.

Also lol at people who think a $250k is going to sell for under $100k just due to a salvage title

It won't.

I still wouldn't buy it above $100k.

QED - I'm not buying a salvage title anytime soon.
