If you are buying a car for track use that is not cosmetically perfect, that is fine but a car with major accident damage where you don't know how it has been repaired or maintained is a very risky proposition because everything wears out quicker at the track and failures can lead to bad situations. These are aluminum chassis cars - there is no such thing as an acceptable dent in the floor pan with these cars. If you really want to assess your risk, you really need to bring the car to a bodyshop that is Porsche certified for repairs of aluminum chassis. How much are you willing to spend on your PPI?
But a good PPI (NOT a dealer 'Used Car Inspection'!) looks at the whole freakin' car.
Including a search for body & structural damage, whether well repaired or not.
If a car was crashed, and I can't spot the repair, it was fixed well indeed!

I rarely defend repair shops or technicians...
