If you can get the MB Quarts I'll buy them from you.

I would consider that but I don't think my Dad would like a car in the house faster than his 996.

tell him it is just another boxster

waynes986,


Not arguing with you, but that seems rediculous notifing the insurance company anytime an addition is made to the car. I'll have to check with my agent!

Ok I feel like a heel.

Robert it does suck that your car is gone, I know I would feel like a member of my family moved on.

Again I'm sorry for your loss.

Do you still have the stock wheels? Maybe you can use those Carreras on the new BoxsterS?
Don't let them screw you on the pay out!
Bad news but think about it as a unexpected promotion.

That's a negative on the wheels,I sold the set awhile back.

I won't, I've already printed out 3 ads of 99' Boxster,not as well equipped as mine,selling for $19k+. I'm hoping I to get $18k+aftermarket parts value. I'm turning over every little thing I bought for the car,the paper stack is as thick as a dictionary.

Oh yeah,this is a whole new world for me! IMS failures,Evo Intakes(more resistant MAFs on the e-gas),4 cat. converters,e-gas and hopefully a 3.2L.

wow 18K on an almost 10 year old car is purty good. You should have a pretty low monthly payment.
Funny thing is my old Miata had about 50% of purchase value in mostly performnace modifications. Had allot of fun with it and ended up getting nearly all my money back when I sold it to some die hard Miata guy. When I got the Boxster I did nothing to it in terms of performance mods and I'm still 100% satisfied with the peformance. The only performance mod I would consider is a cooler sounding exhaust but I don't consider that a REAL performance mod.
And I only buy upgrades I can sell after the fact. I hold onto all my stock parts, I might even remove the side skirts! LOL. Althoug in all honesty...I may never sell this car. The money I can get for it just will not be worth parting with it.
I have a feeling I will end up owning my BoxsterS (summer), a bargain 996 C4S(winter)a Prius (daily driver)and the new track ready RS styled Mini CooperS seems like its right up my alley.

Wow sorry to hear that. The damage sure didn't look that bad from your photos but I guess bean counters get the last word. Might add PSM to your list.
