Dude, there is an old saying with cars. The cheapest one never is. If you buy that car you will run into so many problems down the road and have to spend so much money keeping it running that it will end up being way more expensive than paying 20k for a normal higher mileage one.

Plus you run into the problem of never being able to sell the car either. Nobody in their right mind would buy a salvage porsche. If you do and enjoy it great, but you'll be hard pressed to find another guy like you who would buy it. Thats why the car has had the same mileage since 2000. They fixed it and couldn't find anybody to buy it.


The problem with salvage is they inspect the car etc, but they don't ensure that it will last for any period of time, only that it's OK now. But even with things are off a bit, it causes rubbing here and creeking there, and eventually these problems show up as busted motor mounts, and worn tires, and worn out shocks, door rubbing etc.. ONce a car is smashed up it's never the same.
