How can there be a liability issue. You were driving in the lane and they were not parked properly and pulled out of the parking area and hit you. If the police say it was their fault, it simply is.

Don't wait for more BS to surface from the other kid. Stay on top of the ins company and keep them from dragging their feet. The damage appraisal and settlement is seperate from who was at fault. This was not your fault. You are the one who has suffered and they need to make you whole. That includes either replacing your car, fixing it to your satisfaction or paying you for its replacement. This should not cost you a penny..

Getting an appraisal should not take more than day or so. I would get your own independent appraisal as well. Take the car to the best body shop in town, one that specializes in high end cars, as well as the closest Porsche dealer for appraisals. That way if they try to low ball you you have some ammunition to dispute it.

Also unless it is different in your state, you can get it repaired (assuming it is repairable and not totaled) where ever you want, not the cheap ass place the insurance company may recommend or send you
