Ok, where do I begin? Let’s start with my last post. Quite a few of you were very helpful identifying fixes for my rat chewed 986. After rewiring and shrink wrapping the easiest fixes, I brought my car to the most reputable Porsche workshop in Austin or repair some of the trickier codes. They are fantastic and have used them multiple times. While it was there, some moron picking up his wife’s Porsche backed into my rear quarter panel with his truck. Ok, no big deal, his insurance will pay for it, shouldn’t impact drivability or value too much. Got a ridiculous quote from his insurance company but that’s pretty standard knowing the shop will update it once they get into it. Yesterday, I was finally able to get it into the auto body shop. Another high-quality, Porsche certified shop. While inspecting the vehicle, the manager said, “ I just want to let you know that the insurance company may total the vehicle.” WTF? For cosmetic body work?
This is a 2002, less than 43k miles, babied with a new LN IMS kit, upgraded exhaust, slotted rotors and upgraded brakes, yada,yada. My question to the group is this; has anyone gone through this before? What are the best options? I hate to think that this car would be totaled out. I also hate the thought of the insurance company totaling it, fixing it and then reselling it. This is nuts. While
I am hoping this won’t be the case, it would be helpful to hear of any similar issues y’all may have had.
Thanks!
