so lets get this straight:

The front bumper of the Bronco impacted the passenger side of your Boxster.
Even if you were driving fast in the parking lot, it would still be his fault as you were in the driving lane and no matter how he was parked, he had to pull out and you had the right of way. He should not have pulled out unless it was safe to do so

Since there are no skid marks, you were not driving fast, he has a pretty weak story. Also if you had been driving fast, the impact would have at very least spun him around a little.

I feel for you. Several years ago, my wife was in an accident where the other person basically turned right on a red light without stopping and hit my wife that was making a left turn. It was a low speed collision , maybe 20 mph and it spun the car around about 90 degrees. We ended up in small claims court and the judge ruled he failed to avoid an accident and it was his fault. He was stupid, had he just let the insursnce pay it, it woudl have been better for him. With the lawsuit, it ended up costing him personally an additional $2k.

You will prevail and be made whole again.

BTW, are you in high school or college?
