Ok thanks for the replies guys. Looking at a 2009 cabrio with a manual and a rebuilt title but damage was done 6 years and 20,000 miles ago. Was told the car passed all structural inspection, was checked by Porsche and chassis wasn’t bent from the accident. Just bumpers and suspension were repaired. Price could be very attractive.

I am sure I will get scorned on that one, but I drive my cars so I wouldn’t be worried about originality (read: modding it) or putting miles on it. I will just have to do a ton of due diligence on purchase. And I’m a bit of a gambler lol.

Thanks!

I read something about rear spoiler issues. Any other items to keep an eye out on a ppi. Do the Metzger engines need to be be bore scoped.

Metzger has cooling line fitting issues.... some reports or spoiler issues....not much else... these are really great and enjoyable cars. You could go with the premis of buying the cheapest one you can find that suits you and have $5K in the kitty to just use for modifications and unforeseen issues and your smile will be just as big as mine running through the curves (and a lot less $$$$$s). Good luck

Yes definitely will check that, could be a deal breaker if it can’t be insured. I haven’t heard of any issues with this in Canada though, but maybe just because I personally have never had to insure one.

The car has 40,000 miles, well optioned and the goal is to get it for 45-50k usd.
