R.i.p
When a Kangaroo decides to crash tackle your car and the insurance company writes it off.

Sorry, those kangaroos must not care for Boxsters.
I'm a bit distracted, but notice you have spyder wheels. Were you able to keep them? If those are orig Porsche wheels, they have to be worth some $$$.

As someone who also previously lost a Boxster, I feel your pain and sorry for your loss. There are a lot of potential replacement Boxster's out there, so find another one and keep moving forward!

I'm just glad when I crashed mine and promptly replaced it with a newer more powerful version for less than the insurance settlement I didn't live in AU. Your prices are outta sight.
OTOH, be glad you don't live in Denmark where taxes exceed the price of the car (105-180%).

I bought them off a after market guy here in Sydney for $750 USD. They transformed my car and made it look a lot more modern than it actually was. Unfortunately I don't have the originals so had to give them to the insurance company along with the car.

Ouch, maybe you could have found somebody with old wheels and made a trade and gotten some cash. I took several items off my car when I finally abandoned it to the company that was hired to do the tow-away. Thing like lights, mirrors, etc. I had kept the originals so I put them in the cat and used the upgrades on my replacement car. I got no complaints. They got all the parts.
