Glad you are OK. IMHO, they will total it. Might want to swap wheels out and any other high end mods. Best of luck.

your loss might be saving someone's life in the future. Assuming that the old lady has been permanently benched via huge surcharges.

I'll take the aero bumper And spoiler if they total it.

EEEK! That looks like that was pretty scary! Did you beat the old lady senseless? I'm afraid that would have been my first instinct. :D

Tell us how well your insurance company does, in terms of payout (just a general idea). I'm interested to know which companies are good and which are just blowing smoke.

The real question is the frame, is there any frame damage? If not, it could be fixable.

Some of you guys are like vultures after this guy's parts. Cool down and let OP get his bearings! :matchup:

He's got new bearings for sale?

Thanks Kenny, thought I would have to get some dead animals and throw them in my yard for a minute. :D

Glad you weren't hurt.
I wonder if it didn't deploy because there was no one in the passenger seat?

You got any dead squirrel? How much you want for it? :p

Glad you are ok, and it is getting to be a pretty big problem these days with older drivers.

My three accidents in 23 years of driving were 1) old lady t-boned me ran a red with foot on gas, 2) old man t-boned me, ran a red, 3) hit the dumbest doe in the world on a freeway.

Glad you are alright, and you did not drag the old lady down the street. lol

I t-boned a guy that made an illegal left turn, I was in my Toyota truck. I loved that truck and didn't want to give it up. Insurance totaled it (repairs exceeded 80% of it's current value), I told them I wanted to keep it. They would have given me $6,600, I bought it back for $600.

Still have my baby and got $6,000. I've slowly gotten parts (hood, frt rt fender, bumper, radiator etc.). Best choice I ever made. Look in my garage link on the left and pull up my VW, you'll see my white Toyota truck in the background..

Weigh your option to buy the car back. If someone on here wants it bad enough, ask the insurance company how much they need to buy it back and see if you can resell it for more...I bet you can. You have a nice car there with A LOT of parts! I would put it back on the road.

Good Luck in whatever you decide. :cheers:

FYI. A 986 does NOT have smart air bag technology regarding the passanger seat. Porsche did not start doing this until the 2006 MY. Slightly ahead of the schedule mandated by the Gubbermint.

I think it's totaled. Shop is going to quote big money to fix that. What are those wheels they look great on your car and I haven't seen them before.
