what's up with this 993?

[ooid]

Just saw this 993 at Portiacraft. It does seem really good value and wondering maybe a few owners/users here might have any ideas about its past? Not sure about its current status being on HPI?

Thanks

Thanks gents. About 4 years ago, I missed a CAT D, 911 Targa (80s). The only damage was its door and it has been replaced. It was about 12k and the engine was quite crisp condition. The biggest mistake I've done so far probably missing that car with that price!

If there is no rust, the engine is OK, this one is a quite tempting imho.

The advert is misleading. For it to be inspected by Autolign and removed from the register it has to have been a Cat C or D write off prior to inspection because the whole purpose of the inspection is to get that status removed. I am not sure what the benefit of this process is because all it does is change the category to inspected so you know it's been written off but repaired to a good standard that's it.

I think people used to use this method to certify their repairing, if it's fully sorted? Autolign probably used to point out a couple of things which might need re-doing, especially on these cars with safety concerns. As you all said, the proper inspection would be useful indeed. Lovely example though.

The car has gone from the dealer's website. Probably not sold at the end?
