Bargain 918 Spyder for sale - some buffing may be required.

Only a couple of weeks left to bid. Estimates on the hammer price?

With all the carbon fiber that is structural... Highly doubt it'll be fixed.

I had the exact same thought. That 918 can be fixed. As George Harrison once sang, "But it's gonna' take money! A whole lotta' spending money! It's gonna' take plenty of money, to do it right."

How would they go about fixing the carbon fiber areas? Massive scarf repairs?

Someone will just buy it for the VIN

The survival cell did it's job perfectly. Surely, that has to go back to the factory to get repairs done... (I hope it wasn't insured by Farmers, because that might affect my rates!)

Oh no, guys like that think of it as just a part of being rich. Throwing away a million-dollar car on the first day is just another bar joke to some of these guys. Real "alpha-dog" stuff. I would be surprised if he felt any remorse or embarrassment.
