I'm pretty sure it's totaled.

Oh jeepers! Not another driver hitting parked car! Incredible!

Same thing happened to me, and yes, my Boxster with similar damage was totaled. (http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/43878-ahhh-my-car-hit-bad-today.html)

Oh, do not remove any parts from the car before it goes to the insurance company, they really frown on that because if the car is totaled then its not your car, its their car and then its theft. You'll have more than enough to argue about with the other guys insurance company without having to worry about a theft claim against you.

For me, it was an opportunity to get a 996 and replace the Boxster

Keep us up to date on how everything turns out.

But I love your wheels, terrible about your car.

This makes me sick to my stomach. So sorry ! Glad to hear you are OK however.

This is the part that I'm worried about. I fear getting victimized 3 times. First by the moron that hit me, second by the insurance company not giving me fair value for the stock car, and third when they don't take into account the extra items I added and don't let me keep them. This just sucks all around.

BS. You own that car, and just because it was hit and MAY be totaled, does not mean anyone else has some magic claim to your property. You bought the mods. You have no duty to make any claim at all if you chose not to. You can set it on fire right now if you wanted. It's still your car.

The problem is that it was immediately towed to the shop where it now sits.

For a quote or an estimate? You can still insist they don't touch your car. You can get as many estimates as you want.

I would think it's still entirely your vehicle up until the time as it is deemed a loss by an insurance company.
If it hasn't been written off yet, and it's not sitting in an impound yard, F-'em.
I'd go and get my personal belongings out of or off of the car.

It is his car until the insurance company settles the claim. I owned a Saab a few years back, that was hit and written off. I went and took out my HU, aftermarket amp, and my speakers, on the day the adjuster was there! He told me that if I still had the stock radio, it should be with the car, so I put it in the front seat. No issues.

In my situation, I still had all the stock parts for my car. Insurance allowed me to take off my after market exhaust and I placed the old factory exhaust in the frunk. If they won't give you the added money for it, because it wasn't declared, take it off and give them the stock parts.
