I mean #3 cars the owners and auction houses hope to sell as #2 cars or better. I see lots of obvious defects (especially in the 356 cars) that a relative amateur can pick out in 2 minutes. I wouldn't buy something without being there or having somebody who knows what they are doing look over the car for you.
That' s sound advice. I'll see if I can do some due diligence on the car ahead of the auction.
