I am confused...

If I were to pay that much already, I will probably stick to new one than this 'restored to new' one

But again, with how much discount will you consider to buy it?

10% off? 20% off?

Thing is CGT is already expensive even used, so accident involved used....thats tough one to price....in my thought

150k repair? am i missing something here?

ben in lj

The car sustained $150k in repair. A good rule of thumb is that is the diminished value. I'd therefore pay $300 to $325k which are the wholesale bids I believe the car has generated.

Im suprised there arent more pics of the interior.

I like the part about "undamaged suburban"
Goddamn SUV's!!!!

If the crash did not damage the engine's composite sub-chassis, where was the $150k spent?

Sad, little man

Obviously not on buying a new rear badge.

Yep, the missing "Carrera GT" on the bag coupled with it being #80 is what prompted me to ask.

Can you imagine the financial hit the owner has taken on the car all because of a minor rear end collision?

I believe the car could have been repaired for significantly less than $150k but the owner/dealer insisted that a full rear shell was bought, with a lot of other parts... these had to be custom made by Porsche due to the lack of market for replacement CarreraGT parts at present. The custom nature and immediate need made the cost of repair as it was.

I wouldn't buy a repaired one...

There dreamining on getting that price. Just about everyone on the internet knows the history of that car, so I would think eBay shoppers would know as well.... 300k seems more of a fair price IMO.

I wanna know what the jackass in the Suburban was thinking right after the crash. $10 says his / her first act was probably to end their cell phone call. . .

lol too bad there weren't some hardcore porsche enthusiasts around to drag the idiot out of his SUV and beat him in the street

ben in lj

why, because the guy in the $1/2 mil car in front of him who had JUST taken delivery (less than a mile earlier) stalled it when taking off at the light? i think A LOT of people anticipate once someone in front of them starts taking off from a stoplight. i had one or two of these kind of accidents as a teenager and wasn't on the cell phone. the CGT owner who stalled the car does share some of the blame IMO.
