wow. sorry dude, it looked like such a minor crash?

Sorry to hear about the total loss Robert. Hope to see you in a boxster soon! Just curious, what was cost of the repairs needed on your car? As others have opined, looking at the pics one wouldn't think they were looking at a totaled car.

Wow, Robert, I can't believe it was a total loss. I'm so sorry. Good luck in your search for a replacement.

Hey! They're calling this Cobalt Blue. Isn't it close to Zenith Blue?

I only wanted you to see the color. Judging by the way the front bumper fits, I think the car has been tagged in the front. Plus, those wheels suck.

Yeah, but it is one of those rare "Porsche Boxster Convertibles." You don't see too many of those around.

Robert - sorry to hear about your loss - I echo the general sentiment here though - am sure you will be riding in something better in no-time.

blink..i'd buy that suspension.

SC986 10-05-2007 05:50 PM

Sorry to hear about the outcome. It sure didn't look that bad in the photos. I hope you find a great one out there.

djomlas 10-05-2007 07:16 PM

wow man, just saw this, sorry to hear.

i cant believe it went from a rear bumper and spoiler replacement/upgrade to totaled car.

Franco 10-05-2007 07:33 PM

The break down was something like 69 hours labor(at least), $3.5k in parts just for the body. The current and known damage totaled $12k just from that.

Now the part that took them from repairing to totaling it was a potential transmission and who knows what else replacement. After I started the car after the accident it was like short shift kit clunkyness times 5. It was really weird. Instead of wondering if it was o.k. and taking it all apart they assumed it was messed up the total damage was heading upwards of $22k+.

The pictures HID everything. The trunk buckled BAD,like it kinda bent upwards. The entire rear end of the car shift 1/2 inch to the right,it was bad.

Bummer, sorry about that!

If you can grab the rear compartment behind the headrests I would be interested in that.

Yes I grabbed the rear compartment with the rear speakers installed. PM me if you want it. It's in great shape.

Sorry blindwatt,
the 01 boxster S just got sold in the same day i posted.
Got a 06 caynman S now.
interested?

tightbox 10-06-2007 04:16 PM

Very sorry to hear this. G/L finding a suitable replacement.

pteam 10-06-2007 07:33 PM

sorry about your loss. try to think positive in getting an S! IN this case man you should try to take everything from that old car that you can.

1. If you can put crappy ass rims on there find them and make the swap.
2. if you have litronics on there take them out and put some crappy ones in there
3. take off special exhasts and air filters intakes
4. clear turn signal lights, wind stops, car mats,
5. anything custom take it out!

You can even try to swap out seats, anything you can. I'm sure you will find members on here that will swap their lower stuff.

My best advice is get a new car with everything you want, S for horsepower bigger brakes better handling, litronics, heated seats if you want them, psm if you want it, nows the time to get it since you know everything about the boxsters now :)

SC986 10-07-2007 06:05 AM

unklekraker 10-07-2007 06:36 AM
