997 Turbo with rebuilt engine?
How much is a 2007 997 Turbo worth with a rebuilt engine and salvage title?
Original miles was 100k before engine rebuild. All damages have been professionally repaired and appears to be in good shape but still has salvage title.

I would put it 10-12K below a non salvage titled car with similar miles/options.
These engines are pretty bulletproof so having one already needing a rebuild at that mileage means it was likely driven pretty hard or poorly maintained and both are red flags for many potential owners. Also, keep in mind that when you go to sell, it will be much more difficult.

Was it rebuilt due to direct damage from the accident leading to the salvage? Or from some other issue? I would want to know exactly what was replaced i.e., did the car get hit so hard in the back it deformed the engine case or whatnot?

Yes, got hit hard the engine case was cracked. Car had high mileage so the owner decided to do full rebuild.

If you do a Ppi and it all checks out at good I would say my max # would be 25k. At that number you could enjoy it and not get too hurt on the way out. SalvAge cars limit the number of people you are sell to when your ready.

$25k for a 997 turbo? Even salvage that number is way low. You couldn't get just the shell for that price.

^^^ I agree...possibly the engine only or roller only for that kinda money...not a full drivable car... but I have never gone down this salvage title road before with any vehicle personally

I'd never buy a salvage car personally. But if I were it would have to be dirt cheap. So cheap that if I was unhappy I could unload it quickly and easily with out getting hurt financially.

Then there is the engine rebuild to consider. Who did the rebuild? What parts were used, etc.
My recommendation is to move on. This is not the car you are looking for.
