haggerty insurance will not accept my boxster

[mnc-i]

Reference auto insurance:

1. It is all relative. When I purchased my 1999 Boxster in Sept 2009 w/104000 miles, I only purchased liability insurance. At the time the added cost of full-comprehensive coverage was not worth it (especially on a car that cost me all of $8700). Plus it gives me added incentives to avoid any and all accidents as well as stupid behavior.

2. Now that I have over 229,000 miles on the car, I am afraid to look up the value of my Boxster (it might cause a grown man to cry).

3. I've started to look for a 996 coupe as a replacement.

4. Leif Johnson Ford in Austin had this 2002 911C4S with 96000 miles for sale (asking $22,993) this week {silver w/black interior}. Can still be found on Austin Craigslist. I waited two days before I went to look at it. Unfortunately a guy put a $1000 non-refundable deposit down on it the day before. Another one that just got away....

986 and 996 prices are in the dumpster.

Blue book for a 2002 996 C4S 96K miles is $18K max. Be happy that it got away...

Blue book on my 99 996 C2 146K miles is $8K. Yep, worth less than a worn out Kia.

As PerfectLap said in another post, these cars are only worth the value of the engine life that might be left + the rolling chassis value. For example, a low miles car is worth the price of its nearly new engine ($7K) + the rolling chassis ($3K). A high miles car is worth barely more than just a rolling chassis - that worn out engine is worth almost nothing.
