Damaged GT2

Is it worth it to buy a crashed gt2, my father is looking at one that supposedly sustained 10,000 in damage on the rear driver side and it was fixed at the dealer. Thats all i have for details, but the price is 111k for an 03 with 5k miles. Thanks for your help.

I would stay away from that car- like everybody else said... it will never be the same. If it was being sold right around $100k.. then it would be a different story.

Not worth it. You'll lose a lot on resale.

Its certainly not worth 100+K......


You can get a crashed car back to 100% depending on the damage and who does the repairs- So the myth of it not being 100% is not correct.. Perhaps in the years past that was the case.

If you really want a GT2 then take the time to look for the right car, they are out there... Just be patient

I have had two minor accidents in performance cars. I believe on both occasions the cars were repaired properly but it made me crazy thinking about it and I sold them shortly after I got them fixed. These were 50-60K cars, for 100K+ I wouldn't get near it.
