With the money left, you can start saving for a 987BS, after driving the 986 you would not like the 996.. yes it's bigger but that's it..
It’s minor damage. Need new hood and bumper cover. A lady backed up into me in a drive through. The trailer hitch hit the front of the hood and it buckled. It’s all bowed up. Pushed the frunk in about a quarter inch where the hood latch is. The work on the tub is what I think will total it. Ballpark 6k repair bill. Since I’m not at fault and have a police report I’d like them to handle it. However if they’re not going to give me anything for the many thousands in parts I have on the car then I will fight as much as I can. I know book value is about half of a decent 986 these days without the kind of work I’ve done to mine. A the end of the day fixed or not it’s a rolling total, but man it sure does drive perfect. Except for when it breaks.
