I found this on WreckedExotics.com
"This $450,000 car is the first Carrera GT that has been wrecked. The owner, who was paying $6,000/month on the lease, had just taken delivery and was on his way to the gas station down the street. As he was slowing down, the car stalled and a truck rear-ended him." Says it happened in San Diego. He stalled it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Paul Attached image(s)

Imagine the driver of the truck phoning his insurance company with the claim information
Driver: "I rear ended a Carrera GT" Insurance: "What is that?" Driver: "Some kind of Porsche" Insurance: "Let me look it up......just a second....WHOOOOAAAA MOMMA!!!" Driver: "What does that mean?" Insurance: "We will pay the bill but you may have to consider selling any body part that you have two of to pay for your renewal" Driver: "WHOOOOOOOAAAA MOMMA!!"

Actually I am sorry to see that happen to anyone, Carrera GT or 911 Carrera. I know I wouldn't want it to happen to me, or you.

If the story is true, I'm actually kinda surprised you can lease these cars at all! I thought they were spoken for by private cash buyers long ago.
So now that it's been hit and is tainted goods, I wonder if I can lease it for $325/mo??? |

I am P-tech and I was recently at the training facilaty in atlanta where they have two of those. (they practice taking the motor out and such) anyway I got into a conversation w/ an instucter about parts prices for it and you would not believe the prices. The underbody paneling/splash shields are $25k for the smallest/cheapest one. they are apparently hand laid carbon fiber. I think I remember him saying the bumper caps were around $10k each (why I dont know as they are only plastic) but it is safe to say that love tap will probably crest $30k just in parts
A crate motor for it lists at $125k and the tranny is $65k Kind of puts jake raby's motor prices in perspective huh. |
