My own indy did this for a 944 that caught fire or something but was fully covered by the owner. The owner was able to get a higher pay out than what the standard valuation for a 20+ year old car would be. 986's are not quiet 20 years old yet but values can vary wildly in the our markets depending on region, condition and supply. My take is that a person filing a claim like this entirely on their own expecting the best price possible is going to get screwed.

You'd think the common citizen, insured driver, would have a concise and detailed policy in a written format handed over by his insurance company at that price (saying that, I'm realizing I don't myself). That could help in avoiding being screwed by the insurers or getting slammed by additional legal fees.
The problem is likely to be same as elsewhere.... having just too many insurance companies, policies, catches, some scammers, to be able to feel fully insured these days :/
Feel really bad for Jake on that one... school kid with a Porsche car. How cool is that.... not the type of event you want to see happening to him (to anyone of course)
HE IS GOING TO WIN ANYWAY. GO-GO JAKE (screw the insurance mood thing... kick his arse bigjake style lol)
