The cars will most likely not be sold or even the parts used. Read this article about a similar situation from mazda. Chances are that every car will be written off and recycled.

some parts in perfect shape will be used, just replacement parts. or the cars will be brought back to the factory and looked at for impacts in various locations. porsche will find a use of the money put into the cars

Maybe they will use the cars or PSDS. There are a lot of parts on those cars that are perfectly OK still.
