I'm not a dealer, so no auctions. I find Porsches that need that extra boost to make them special. Porsche buyers are particular and don't want issues. I just ordered $200 worth of parts that probably let this one down by a collective $2000. And I've become pretty good at detailing (won awards at my local Porsche event the last 2 yrs plus multiple car shows). As they say on Wheeler Dealers, you polish in the dollars. Eliminate the issues, get the maintenance up to snuff, and make it look like new should result in some profit, just like on the TV show. But Porsches are not growing on trees in OMA, so I have to travel to find my cars, and that costs $$$. My last 4 cars came from PA, WI, AZ, and MD. Have to be good at est what it will cost to repair and get the car to OMA. It can get complicated but I've gotten better at it as I go along. That's probably enough of the look behind the curtains for now.
