... If you do suppose that coming out ahead for me is unfair for someone, I would like to know who, 1k extra out of the insurance company still is nothing compared to what people pay into insurance every year and never take a claim out on. It doesn't hurt the other individual of the accident at all, as his rates go up regardless. I am trying to provide a parts boxster for a cheaper price to whomever i sell it to, that's fair.

Insurance companies aren't nonprofits, and let's face it, we are only hearing one side of the story. I really don't know what is fair in this situation; however, I think it is a wrong to hold an opinion that "big companies" should always take a mulligan and pay out because they are perceived as "big" and can absorb the hit - and, for your information, people who do as you claim - pay in and make no claims - often see their rates rise (usually, as is often claimed, their costs increase due to, oh I don't know... The number of claims made in the given zip code which translates to higher rates for the area). So, one could argue that those people who pay in, yet make no claims, may have increased rates to compensate for people like you who do have accidents and generally make the cost of insuring everyone in the area more expensive... Which isn't exactly fair, but I digress as this is just me free-thinking and isn't based on facts, which you can relate to, yes?
As a parent, I wouldn't want to dedicate garage space to the wreck or have it in the yard as an eyesore for my kids or the other homes in the neighborhood... But I try to keep things classy
Out of curiosity, what do your parents think? Have you told them of your burgeoning parts business?
