Your thoughts is all, It's a 2002 996 flawless Bose system perfect interior, coupe black on black with 117k on it, New clutch and IMS no leaks, it was lightly scraped by truck behind drivers door so
it holds a salvage title he's selling it for 10k good deal?

Thanks, Scott

If you have photographic proof of the accident and if the engine checks out I would not hesitate to buy at $10K

Well, I bought my 2000 C4 Cab for just $15k plus $5k to sort it out, which makes the total cost $20k which is about the going rate for the car in my area.

So, if everything (including the engine) checks out and you can repair everything for $10k or less, seems like a reasonable deal to me, although it would be better to buy a car did had no "issues" and required few or no repairs for the same price.

Note that most (if not all) lenders will NOT make a loan on a salvage titled vehicle. So, if you resell the car, you are limited to cash buyers only.

A roller with a blown engine goes for $7K to $10K.

A working engine out of the car is worth $8K.

Seems about right.

Pix would be great.

For resale a salvage car gets 60-70% a normal car....so I would put that in the equation. So if a typical car sells for 20k, you can expect between $12k-14k for resale.

Usually I’d say no to a salvaged anything. But 10k for a good running 911. Hard to argue.

If your buying a collector car as an investment, avoiding salvage is no-brainer. With a car like this, where it is unlikely to greatly appreciate in value, salvage is a great way to save a whole bunch of money and be able to enjoy a brilliant car.

Edit out the phone number before someone snakes the car out from under you.

Let us know how this goes. If you end up deciding not to pick it up I would be interested in flying out and road tripping back home to Indiana with it.

Can't really tell where the damage is located on the car. Are you sure its from the accident and not something else? Flood damage?

Buy it, deal with the problems, and then drive it and enjoy.

Looks pretty good from the pics, very clean, inside and outside; I also vote to go for it and enjoy the car especially with new clutch & IMS, no leaks as bonus, nice... Cheers,

Can't go wrong for $10K. Do you have enough money or knowledge to keep the car on the road?

Not sure I'd own a salvage car personally, but if I was needing a parts car or track monster, this one has all the potential for a great price.
