Price Drop. $90,000

 

Price drop. $88,000. Not even a reply? I know the title has the hit but come on, this really is a very nice car. Open to any inspection of you choice. It will be on a lift at my shop for anyone to personally inspect with me.

 

Since you asked, and last time I was paying attention a 997.2 TurboS was around $110. This is a non-S and salvage title. I'd think it would need to be a bit less to even think about. But nice car and I hope it works out for you.

 

Salvage title cars are lucky to get 50% of black book in normal times. Cant insure them (liability only) , cant loan on them, among a million other things. glws.

 

I have sold and own a few currently, you can insure them, at @ 85% market value which is why I priced it as so.
You can also get loans, Sold many bikes and cars and the only finance co. that would not was a credit union. Again, loans were kept to @85% for above reasons.

Just hear this all the time and don't know where it comes from.

Really appreciate the input though, very much.
I am open to offers, I want to make some money but will not be mad if I keep it and sell my non-turbo.

 

From my insurance agent. He had a guy fix a brand new Duramax truck with a salvage title and he can get liability only. Allstate for a fact will not put full coverage on a car with a salvage title, liability only.

 

one + thing for the OP is the low mileage maybe more details on the nature of the salvage title (flood,wreck,stolen?, etc...) will create more traction on his sale?

 

Seems like the OP is open with the nature of the impact. Just google the vin and the pictures will show up.
It was listed as "Run and Drive" and sold in 10/2022.
Feel bad for the PCAR winner that bought it for >$125k just to sustain a collision 18 months later. Hopefully, he had good insurance.

Thanks hlee96. I did not want to go into too many details, thinking a phone call would be simple. Essentially the car was hit on the front left. Probably a parking lot incident. Front left wheel took the hit, bumper was damaged under the headlight, radiator was cracked, (plastic). Headlight was broken along with fog lamp and left turn signal. Hood not touched, under structure not even tweaked. How do I know? The new fender and bumper mounted perfectly, with bolts in the center of each hole, allowing normal adjustment if needed. Not needed. Hood still in original location on hinges, Hood gaps to right fender and all doors have perfect gaps, before and after.
Front left shock was bent in from side impact, no strength there really thin wall light shocks. Normal damage from this type of side force. Installed new shock and wheels align good and drives great. I replaced knuckle, control arms and tie rod as precautionary, normal for this type of incident. Wheel was bent too. Easy, replace wheel. Had alignment performed at Porsche shop nearby, sets up race cars every day, ET tuning. Call and ask John, owner, aligned perfectly and drives amazing.
Basically unbolt and bolt on new stuff. Car has original paint and not a dent or even a rock chip anywhere, like a car with 8,000 miles. This was going to be my next 911 and I do not like aftermarket paint jobs. Took to a specialist where they did perfect match, and painted only the bumper and fender, nothing else, no blending into hood etc. This takes extra time and must be matched to work. It looks factory and 99% percent of people could not tell it was ever hit. I have a lift in my shop, anyone can have a look and see. Porsche dealer in STL if need a PPI. Tires are original, like I said, this proves mileage and not tracked. Easiest repair I have done in a long time. Original estimate was padded, shop owner told me this, guy who purchased for $125k wanted it totaled and somehow got it. Shop could not believe I got it. His estimate was $24, to repair. I spent $10k in parts. This tells you just how little work was needed.
As mentioned, pictures of auction are out there, I took more and will share.

 

Price Drop. $85,000.

 

I bought a salvage title BMW 325ES waaaaay back in the day. I got a loan on it from my bank. I just never told them. I also got insurance on it and got rear-ended with a lot of damage. By then it was paid off so the other party's insurance company paid ME the check, and I kept it and sold the car wrecked. Worked out great.

 

Last post, I am at $80,000 now and have a little more room to negotiate. After that, I will simply keep and enjoy.
Looking at posting on Pcarmarket next.

 

Well if things don't work out on Pcarmarket, let me know - i might be interested.

 

its on there now so please watch and bid. Thanks for the comment.
