When you get time, please tell us how you fond an '04 Boxster so cheap? Just luck or hours trolling through Craig's List and inspecting lots of junk? Auction?
Your a/c fix is a good example of what a little diy and Rennlist tech knowledge can do.Good luck with the steering repair.

Thanks. Just weeks and weeks of lookkng ar craigslist. Theres lots of junk out there with rebuilt titles etc. Luckily Miami has a huge glut of used high end cars. I bought mine from a dealer that buys at auction.

Car has no stage 2 over revs and only about 800 stage 1over revs. Cam values are -4.3 and 1.3 so I am well within spec.

Oh and its needs a cat but im not going to replace it. No smog check kn FL.

Hope the O.P. is reading this because it is a real-world perspective on Boxster values
Here are examples in San's area:
2001 Porsche Boxster
maybe this?
2006 beautiful Porsche Boxster
2001 PORSCHE BOXTER'''5 SPEED MANUAL TRASMISION'''ONLY 75000 MILES'''
And remember ,these are asking prices.
Makes you think twice about expensive repairs?

Solution - fit front/rear wide-angle dash cam.That video evidence will often decide the case in the absence of witnesses .

I would get it fixed and enjoy it some more. If you really want a 987, then get it fixed and trade it in. The dealer would just wholesale it anyway.

Old Boxsters aren't worth much value wise, but you've got history with this one and it's got a lot of life left in it.

Glad to see that its being fixed and will be back on the road soon!

Sorry for your mishap, looks like you are in good hands and on the way to getting it fixed properly!

I think there are still lots of states that don't require mandatory auto insurance, which is why it's always a good idea to have uninsured/underinsured coverage on your own policy.

As far as getting a lien on the driver at fault, I would expect the right to do that now belongs to your insurance company since they are paying out the claim. Most insurance policies include a subrogation clause. They probably have people on staff who can figure out in 5 minutes if it would be worth pursuing the party at fault.

Glad to see that its nicely repaired and back on the road! Congrat's!
