You can't agree with being ahead and then complain about being fair. There is a reason Thomas More's Utopia is a work of fiction.

Am i asking to come ahead? As i said the boxsters in my area selling for 10k to 12k, the only car for 6k has severe water damage....

I do appreciate your more tame response, and i see your point, but any "Coming out ahead" will be from me capitalizing on the option to buy the salvage car, any padding to the car i purchase will come from this. A fairly fair way for everyone to win. 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.
