GT3 cat D whats it worth ?
Discussion
Perhaps think of it in terms of the individual parts instead and the price will probably make more sense. What's a genuine GT3 engine worth? £7k? £10k? Gearbox too - £4k? £6k? Add to that the interior (probably not damaged, can't tell for sure), and any other bits and you still have a shell. Not a nice thought but there could be a value to the identity to a criminal who may consider using this one's identity (even as a Cat D or whatever) to ring a (straight) stolen one.
[quote=reedman]If it was worth 35K before in good condition
sell when repaired 25k
cost 10k to fix...
Might be 15k
Not sure I would want the agg to save the money.
For me the difference is refurbishing a house and then selling it no one cares.
selling a house that you have underpinned its much harder and its a pain in the ass.
Shame about the car.
The yellow X on the back. This is for racing do the put them for first time on the track?
JR
Yellow X novice plate "1st 6 races i think"
How much is it worth, question mark.

There was a damaged GT3 on ebay recently. Cannot remember the exact price, but it was roughly £20k. The GT3 on Copart has just over a week to go before the auction, it is currently at £4650. A 997 GT3 sold on Copart last week for £40k.Performance/prestige cars on Copart seem to fetch silly prices.
If that car was taken to a Porsche approved bodyshop, notwithstanding any engine work, would easily cost over £40k, that's assuming it's not bent (which it probably is). I don't see how it could be repaired anywhere else properly for less than 20-25k, then add any engine/chasis damage. It's worth parts money only.

That's a sad sight 
I test drove that Zanzibar, sorry to the owner for his loss...
Is this the car that was on SOR at Northways and previously for sale at Camtune/OPC Byfleet last year ? It had MK2 six pot callipers with Alcon discs on the front ?I test drove that Zanzibar, sorry to the owner for his loss...
Apologies to the current owner of that particular car if this isn't it !
That car is very repairable, but will cost. The key thing would be suspension geometry, especially at the rear, obviously.I would doubt there has been serious structural damage.
There has not been an engine fire, someone has just decided to nick the boot spoiler by the look of it. Not uncommon for parts like that to go walkabout once a car has been bought by the ins co.
The engine certainly looks to be running in one of the pics - steam!

My thoughts exactly ! There has not been an engine fire, someone has just decided to nick the boot spoiler by the look of it. Not uncommon for parts like that to go walkabout once a car has been bought by the ins co.

Hopefully the coffin arms and toe links broke before the rear crossmember and the shell itself absorbed any of the impact.
Rear quarter is nasty but replaceable, plenty of second hand doors, wings and lights out there now. Front bumper won't be cheap as IIRC it's GT3 specific ?
All doable, but would need to be purchased cheaply to make it viable. As someone said earlier, a "project" to undertake over time and get the parts at reasonable money rather that turning up at your local OPC parts department with an open chequebook . . . . definitely not a car to buy thinking you'll turn it round quickly and make a profit on.
No reason why it shouldn't be reincarnated though. If repaired properly it should be fine (I'm sure there are other GT3s out there that have suffered worse trauma and have found their way back onto the road/track)

Pretty sure that's the one, reg matches, was obviously a very sad day for the actual buyer, and for any GT3 fan...Apologies to the current owner of that particular car if this isn't it !
