An aquantance had an IMS bearing failure and was offered $700 (cash) for his MY00 996 "as is" by the dealer where it had been towed. I think that might be it in the photo above. They could have at least sold the wheels and tires on ebay.

Are you kidding? Places like LA Dismantlers could probably get close to 7-10k once they part everything out.

Did you guys see this quote in the article????

"Who hasn't wanted to take a few shots at a 911, even an older model, after years of dealing with Porsche drivers?"

What is THAT supposed to mean???? Seeing any 911 abused makes me cringe...

"For those of you worried about a car going to waste, Tom from Comm2A (a motorcycle racer/gun enthusiast) assured us the vehicle was in no shape to be sold off for parts or raced. Also, he pointed out it was an automatic transmission."

It's okay guys, it was automatic. Phew I can breathe easier now.
