Porsche repairs/salvage

[wophie]

Hello, Im new here today!
I was hoping to know if anyone knew anywhere online where you can get rough prices of porsche repairs / parts. I want to buy a salvage but without travlling miles to see it and rope a mechanic in, to then find its a complete waste of money. Also will salavge affect the insurance? resale? If unregistered

Any help gratefully appreciated :-)

Hello and welcome to PH
For repair prices, you will have to see Porsche bodyshops and get them to quote. Most independents and main dealers can deal with it. The quotes will vary widely, but remember that although Porsche parts can be expensive, a dismantler can help with most of the bits you need.

As for buying salvage, and finding parts, here is my trusty list:

Repairs will always have a slight effect on value, but the better the quality, the less the effect. If unrecorded, you could chose not to disclose the history of the car, but it would be misrepresentation if you are asked a question and subsequently lie. The honest thing is, of course, to let the buyer know.
