well if you have the time... buy it back from the insurance comany as salvage and them part it out.
or buy it back, repair it your self, and have 10 k in your pocket.

you would make your money back rather quickly selling parts. The motor alone is 5k, tranny about 3. However you have to have the resorces to pull parts like engine and tranny.

otherwise, get on the phone to LA dismantlers and see what they would give you for it, may be more than the buy back from insurance.

HA! Guess what fella's the car is going to be good as new. The insurance appraised the car and took into account all the mods on the car because everything is OEM and the can CAN actually be ordered the way I have it.

My car was appraised at $26,803 by AAA!!!! Don't get me wrong I HIGHLY doubt anyone would pay that for a 2001 Boxster but this means they will fix it and the car keeps its clean title.

No more need for parts!

Thanks everyone for trying to help me out!
