 | After failing to find a live one in March, Porsche 918 Spyder # 830 did apparently sell last month for an undisclosed amount, likely on behalf of an insurance company.
Rightfully described as having damage 'all over' the salvage giant Copart estimated that the repair bill for the car would be $600,000. |  |
Since 918 Spyders regularly sell for $1.5 million, for the right cowboy there might be some profit to be made in buying the wreck, restoring it and then re-selling it.
_________________________________________________ Normally, a car this destroyed would be declared a total loss and meet its demise at the crusher, but limited-edition hypercars are a different story. | The 887-horsepower Porsche 918 Spyder is a lot to handle. Too much to handle for the former owner of car #830, who wrecked it after putting just 92 miles on the odometer. Now, #830 has turned up at a salvage auction in Long Island, with bidding up to $100,000.  |
Alleged Porsche replacement prices are amazing things to behold. A factory 918 engine costs over $200,000 and a new transmission costs nearly $70,000. If these prices are accurate, fixing this 918 requires a big wallet and extreme bravery. | |  |
