Looking for a Porsche, should I go for totaled(just light damage) and fix it up or just search on craigslist?

Don't need a Porsche any will do but I said fukk it why not a Porsche? A new one would be preferred but like I ain't ready to drop that much on another car so I'm going used. I know you can get cars listed as salvage and it's only say the front bumper damaged so buy a front bumper for say $400 and install it and that's a 2015 Kia or Hyundai for $1800 but idk if that little damage would be common for Porsches?

That bumper ain’t fixing any sensors that went out in that collision

Gonna be more costs associated than just a bumper if it was totaled for front end damage. Like breh said about the sensors

And totaled cars can still go for a lot at the auction

Just get a regular used one. What’s your budget?

Probably won't be able to get driver's insurance with a salvage title. Salvage cars are for salvage or off road use. (i.e. track days, which usually means you need a truck and trailer to get it to the track)

There might be some insurance companies willing to give you a policy with a salvage title, but good luck finding one that's good and affordagble.

Hyundai/Genesis cars are solid now. They're better than Nissan and Infiniti for starters.

I hope you plan on working on the car yourself and buying the associated service manuals, tooling, etc, otherwise you're lighting money on fire.

bro, live within your means. unless you into total restoration of cars, dont do that.

Porsches are expensive in upkeep. dont cut corners

If you get a totaled Porsche or any sports car, you deff need to look into frame damage on it. IMO, it might not be worth it unless you are mechanically inclined, with a garage and can do the whole/most of the project yourself.

This. Knowing how to weld a little bit helps as well.

This type of work is not for freshman. Porsche points out that a very decent mechanic missed a bunch of sub frame damage.
