If that is a 98 Boxster it's probably totaled, sorry for your loss.

That's surprising, does your car have low miles?

It really depends on the company and vehicle. My friend had 10-12K of work done on his 944 that got hit. It might have only been worth 3-4K at the time.

It is a Porsche after all. You can always cite the difficulty in replacing it with an identical model/color/options package.
