Any advice apart from the obvious. My 2001 Boxster S, 65,000 miles interior was drenched in a storm, Leather Seats are destroyed, the carpet is molding, and told by the dealership that the Theft Module needs replaced. The dealer has given me an insurance quote of $10,500 to replace. The KBB value quotes ca. $15,000. The adjuster says that if the cost goes over a certain point that it would be totaled (Write-off), I can get to keep the car if I accept a check for $9500, I am thinking about taking the check from the insurance and fixing myself for under $2000. Does this sound like a good idea? Are there any other electrical problems I should be aware of down the line?
Any advice would be very helpful
