That sucks. Keep us posted, hard to tell the extent of damage from pic though.

The insurance company wrote the car off. With the crazy Porsche Market in Toronto the average replacement cost of a 2000 Boxster S is $19k They offered me $11K for mine, and I refused it. Sent them 7 adds for cars in my area. They came back at $19.5 plus tax, and I accepted that. Looking at an 05 S as a replacement.

That worked out alright. Surprised it was totaled. The picture shows relatively minor damage.
Time for a new Birdie.

New Birdie, has been purchased. 05S. 96KM, but motor replaced by Porsche 40KM ago for IMS failure. Sports Exhaust and Tuning by PFAFF Tuning in Woodbridge. New water pump and clutch. New rubber on 19" Lobster Claw rims. PPI came out clean. One owner with all service records. 3M paint protection in the front. He bought a New Cayman, and had to get rid of the 987. Gave me a decent price. It cost me $2700 out of pocket after the insurance money to get this car....so I'm pretty happy with it.

Nice.  I like the color and the lobster claw wheels. The extra horses is nice too. Enjoy for many kilometers!

Nice move to counter! I'll remember that should a similar misfortune fall on me. What you eventually got is a fair price in our market.
Cheers!
