Got excited, called them and tried to transfer it to my local store, said it's non-transferable so I just said put it on hold and I would fly to Florida on the weekend. After hanging up, clicked some more and saw it had a FRONT IMPACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. I guess it was too good to be true.
Just worked with my local Carmax to have it transferred to California. The issue earlier was that Carmax didn't have the title yet, so they were waiting to get it before being allowed to transfer out of state. It will cost me $999 to have it shipped but I think it might be worth the risk.
Not the best pics quality wise but the car looks good.

Yeah it does unfortunately but Autocheck says no airbags were deployed.
Wait, what? You paid for a transfer WITHOUT getting a DME Report? What if it has a stage 3 overrev? The engine could blow up on you TOMORROW! I wouldn't touch it with a 100-foot pole!

oh no, I didn't think about that. Maybe I should cancel the transfer...
Really, the issue will likely be the quality of the repairs and paintwork done to the car. I've personally looked at three different 991s at Carmax that had really obvious, really bad paintwork done to them. Now it still might be worth it even if that is the case, particularly if you want it as a driver and aren't super picky about cosmetics.
Often the ones that get traded into carmax are the cars that a Porsche dealer didn't want to buy (or super-lowballed) due to cosmetic or other issues that wouldn't make it a great fit for a dealer. Not always, but often.
Let me consign it for you here in Colorado, I'll bring it to every cars and coffee around until it sells! ;-)
Really though, it's tempting. Looks like a really nice car... If it was local I'd be stopping over this weekend to take a closer look, but I hate making these decisions on sight-unseen cars and never seem to have the time to travel and look at out of town ones.

Ha!
Well, if you do want to come see it, I promise it won't disappoint. If you aren't impressed with the condition, the plane ticket is on me!
