my friend's dad bought a cadillac through a police auction about
5 years ago. there was no info provided (other than it was taken during a drug bust) – just a pre-inspection period to look
it over as best as possible and do your own due diligence (he was a good enough hobbyist as a mechanic to know what to look for).
but he got it for half the book value and as far as i know, there
were no problems or huge revelations that came out (like blood soaked seats or anything, lol).

On first glance, very nice but Porsches being
Porsches, a inspection is a must

Tempting is right! But me too i would worry that something like this may have been bought originally with fast(dirty) money and not appreciated and beaten on. Passing safety checks but with questions lingering about the major internals that might not be giving off easy clues to any potential nightmares later.

In Florida we commonly have some very nice kitted out cars at police auctions. Always a buyer-beware situation, especially when considering that 21K miles may have been hard street racing. You'll usually get a more thorough maintenance check on this than you would at a standard dealer auction. If you are going to be driving this in the same area it was siezed I would invest in an entirely new lock set and alarm system. That said, it is a beautiful car.
