CPO'ed 911 Turbo with accident history - Has anyone seen this before?
Hi All,
I came across a CPO'ed 911 Turbo that had previously been involved in an accident. This seemed unusual to me - Has anyone else seen this before?
There is no detailed information readily available on the severity of the accident.
I'm thinking that since I plan on keeping the vehicle for a long time, if the car test drives OK and the price was reduced to reflect the added risk and decreased resale value when buying a vehicle with accident history, it could be a good way get into a 911 Turbo for less.
Thoughts?

Yep, unfortunately they can still certify them. It's not right but most reputable dealers won't do such a thing. Of course the accident would have to be something minor or it couldn't pass certification... This is why you always do the best due diligence possible before purchasing. If I was you I'd move on down the road. There are other cars out there that won't come back to haunt you with documented damage history. It's not a good deal especially without a record of exactly what happened. You'd be much better off paying a bit more and having security. Then you'll get it back when you decide to sell. You may not be able to sell this thing.

In my opinion...If you're looking to find one in a lower price range I'd look at a well-maintained higher mileage vehicle. I realize things happen and minor damage can be easily fixed but the fact that it shows some negative history may not be worth it.
