Default Low Mile GT2...Insurance Auction Tomorrow.
I wish I has the resources right now, to bid on this car. For the sake of a happy marriage, I'll pass. It is currently at $30,025. with one day left. It will make an easy, profitable project for somebody.

They can be had right now for roughly +/-$100K. With that said you will have to factor in cost to win the car, cost to bring it back to "whole" condition again, and deal with a salvage title. I can't imagine it is worth more than about 70K fully repaired with a salvage title.

You think "it" is worth that much? How many trips to the sperm bank would that be?

It says in the ad that the car starts. Redridge, anybody can bid on it after joining IAAI....about $100 to join for a year. Some of the cars are only open to bids from dealers. This one is open to anybody that is a member. I agree with Dell. It would be worth about $70,000 fixed. The damage looks pretty minor. I didn't have a problem selling my salvage titled 996 last December...$22,500 for a 99 tiptronic.

It's just hard to tell without really going over the car if <$30K of parts + 100% DIY labor will do the trick, esp if frame is far enough out of shape, but someone will have fun with this! For my money a used turbo and some bigger snails would be just as fun

+1. If I dream about it tonight that will be a sign. Uggh.

I wish I had Mark's know-how. I can hear the exhaust on that thing in my head right now.
