It would DEFINITELY be scary! Thats some of the appeal
Wait until I put snow tires on it and drive it though the winter.
Not a salvage title. The current accident since its never been fixed doesn't even appear on carfax. Even if it did, I doubt there is enough there to total it. The title's 'mark of unimaginable porsche shame which will forever kill its resale value' comes from the lemon/buyback status @ 6k miles from the 1st owner. That and simply ever being in an accident. Normal GT2 people seem to want pristine cars.
Cup car: can't drive on the street. (Theres a local koni challenge car FS @ ~$57k)
Gt3: $60+k for one that hasn't been ridden like a $2 whore (a friend *JUST* bought one)
nice 996tt: now thats what the debate is over!
FWIW, I 'won' the following auction this morning but didn't meet the reserve. IMO, They're still asking too much $ (I've talked to the dealer about this car before the auction and they were asking stupid money but are slowly lowering it.) Not a big fan of the gray interior bits but those can be dyed or replaced. I really like the color & aerokit.

I've basically been shopping for a dd replacement for ~6mo waiting for the right car. My options are:
1) Cayman S. White ext. black int. Almost no exceptions unless its a special order color.
2) 996tt. No silver/black/red/yellow ext. Black int. Which leaves blue/seal gray exts. The VERY rare white/slate gray/burgundy really peak my interest.
So basically I ruled out 95% of the mkt for either before I even get started
The silver gt2 is one of those exceptions for a special car (I actually like silver but the 13 yr old daily is silver as is the truck and Im just ready for another color.)
I actually won a white/blk cayman S a few wks back, had check in hand, ready to fly up to get it, but title problems tanked the deal (seller still isn't happy about the neg feedback I left.) That got me so excited about a 'new' car the disappointment REALLY sucked. I've stepped up the search since.
