The insurance adjuster just left and he quoted $11,525 just for the interior in parts before tax and labor.

That alone is more than what they state the value of the car is, $10.5

Then the $3400 in stereo equipment, and labor/tax on the rest of the interior.... and he estimated over $5k in labor for a total in the neighborhood of $21.5-22.5k


So it looks like they are going to total the car. I might buy it back depending on what they ask because of my attachment... I just dont know. I'm waiting to hear from them .

Take the $ and move on to a new Boxster and a fresh start. Keeping the old car around is just going to eat at you.

Forget about the interior, take that $15-20k and ship the thing to Raby and tell him you want nothing but performance.

You could buy it back and save some money by:
- getting seat covers
- Gluing together the dashboard leather
- Buying salvaged speaker covers
- Replacing the top and door covers

It'd be rather cheap and would allow you to upgrade to the glass rear window.

My main worry is always the engine.
