Maybe I’ve been watching too many Tavarish videos but would you ever take the risk and buy a salvage Porsche? I love Targas and found a sweet looking one on copart with very little cosmetic damage. Buy it now price is $72k so it seems more than worth it in the right circumstances.
I have clients who bought cars with minimal damage and they are sound excellent cars. They drive them. If it is for you and not to resell and the damage and price is in the ballpark, then sure.
Water damage. Nah I’m good
