that really is not that bad of a damage at all!! Assuming motor and everything else is ok, i would think about $15k-18k would make it look new.

That car was hit pretty hard, look at the driver's door. The top gap is narrow and the bottom is wider. I would think the tub is bent and it is going to need to put on a machine to pull it out.

Believe or not, the chassis is stronger than we think. Maybe that's why its not a total insurance write off per the description. My body guy who only does work for BMW/Ferrari/Porsche only would buy it in a heartbeat, he says. But then again, this particular car would not be for a "collector". It may be for a "Porsche Guy" who would drive the treads out of it.

i would have no problem if the thing sits on a body frame maching for 3 months .. the shop i use has repaired far worse than this .. i really believe if they are put back together correctly, it sometimes better b/c then you had the car apart and know everything is now good - especially as these are now 10yrs old.
this really is not so bad.. i wouldnt be happy to have this done to my TT, but i wouldnt feel like my TT was 'ruined' if it did.

The description of the car says it has an automatic transmission. Wow- those are really rare...

for some reason, e-bay's system dictates that all 993tt's have automatics apparently based on a funky interpretation of the VIN

i was just confused by the description... "1997 PORSCHE 911 TURBO S", but i guess it's an early 80's w/ the '97 look. thanks.
