I'll give you the benefit of doubt, that maybe you learned all of this after your sale.
You MUST do your due diligence and networking before the sales process, not after. This is a lesson I am pretty sure you have now learned.
Again, congrats on your new Turbo! Enjoy.

Wow, what a story. I was at the Monterey Historics this year and was very impressed by Canepa's pit and selection of racecars. I thought they were really a class act. Wow, it's a shame.

i believe that the car, when it was taken into a shop to be inspected, turned up that there were MANY areas not correct. so its not that it was just storied, whacked and fixed perfect. but whacked and then done less than perfectly.
jamie, knowing your attention to detail and focus on quality, i'd pass in total.
there are many, many good 993 Turbos out there that maybe cost you a few duckets more, but you'll get those back on resale and all the while you dont own a storied car.
at 30, 35 grand, id be interested. might be worth more, but that would be my tickler.

Shortly after the first owner (a wealthy Virginia attorney) took delivery the car was involved in an accident. There was damage to the top of the two front fenders and right rear quarter panel. He could not agree with the insurance company on how the car was to be repaired. The fenders could have easily been metal finished but he insisted that they be replaced. In the end he accepted a cash settlement from the insurance company.
The car was sold to its second owner who sent it to one of the Northeast’s most reputable restoration companies for the repair work. With over 30 years of experience restoring Porsches and other high-end collectable cars, the 993 was in excellent hands.
The shop owner has confirmed that the car suffered minor to moderate damage (no structural damage) in the accident and that the damage was easily repairable (photographs are available upon request). The bodywork was done to a very high standard and the paint was perfectly matched and applied to a concours standard. The original under hood paper sticker and door jam stickers are still on the car illustrating just how minimal the repairs were. When finished the shop owner said it was in “absolutely perfect shape”.

993 tt
The ad is still not 100% accurate on the Turbo. but he is getting closer. At this rate maybe by the year 2025 the Ad will say Salvaged but nicely repaired 993 Turbo, $40,000.

well, this time we have more info but still no mention of salvage title. I'd guess that will come up at some point this time... hopefully before the sale

"car's a salvage title, but is 100% in quality, and we welcome any inspection" That should do it. If a buyer is serious, they can tell more.

Recently new Michelin Pilot Sport tires were installed and a full service performed. This car is absolutely stunning and is cosmetically and mechanically like NEW. Bruce Canepa has personally driven the car and says it is “fabulous”!
