355 Crash damaged worth it or not ?

[phib]

Having been thinking only thinking about a 355 for a little while now I have been thinking of selling the 911's but have probably come to the conclusion that I what to keep the 993 so it got me thinking ......

What if I buy a crash damaged 355 and have it repaired is it worth it because I probably could then keep the 993 as well or am I mad having found a couple do you guys have any views ?

Found the following....

Kind of what I thought I was more interested in the yellow one 15K is not the buy price its where the auction is now.

I had thought that very roughly if the yellow one went for say 20 - 25k and the you spend another 5k ish then 25 -30k would make a very usable toy + say 27 / 28 for 993 and then you are talking both for about 50- 60k as opposed to 55ish for a rhd 355 alone not crashed !!!

Now I may be way wrong on prices but its just a thought I would probably keep they 355 ad the 993 for a few years as they are my ultimate two cars

Thanks for the feedback guys, it wasn't really that I couldn't aford both its just I can't really justify it in my own mind if that makes any sense ?

I think that if the yellow one is going to end up at about 30 / 35 then its not for me as someone else posted you would always know it had been not quite right which may spoil the experience. Added to that I would rather spend another 10 /15 and enjoy a RHD and probably in red.

So its back to the drawing board

But thanks for the advice
