Why would you want a car that has been in collision?
you can find CPO examples for slightly more than 60k around with less than 30,000 miles...
That vehicle also does not say it has a mechanical limited slip diff as an option
Diff is only standard on 4, 4s and GTS models only.

And I agree with Snake Eyes. Skip a car with collision flag when there are others available even though it's CPOd which should alleviate the next owner's concerns. It will, however, not help if the next owner wants to sell.
Edit: Ah, I misread. No CPO so disregard that last comment.

Just clarification that LSD is not standard on GTS RWD but is an available option.

With no CPO and an accident, it would be tough to pay $66k, I would think you could find a better deal. But if you can get it for $60k and the ppi is clean and shows no issues from accident then it could be a good buy for a low mileage 2012 S.

Personally, I'd likely pass BUT...
Do they have before / after pics of the car w/info on the collision etc. Correctly documented, a minor collision should not be a big problem. The correctly documented / inspected part is key, however.

I personally would not buy a Porsche 911 that's been in an accident. That said, if the PPI checks out and the buyer understands that the car will forever carry the "been in an accident" stain that will affect the ability to sell it, then buy it for $57k or continue looking.
