Geeze, I didn't realize you had a car fire! I'm sorry for being so insensitive earlier.
I just thought you were using their parts service to get bits and pieces.
I never figured their service would be very good at finding Porsche parts. Probably better set up up for the Muscle Car and Corvette market.
Sorry for your troubles.

Well there is some reading, this is an important subject. A useful project would be to get everyones premiums, coverage amounts, and carrier name listed to give a value rating for the product on paper. Then as a 2nd part, do a claims results listing for a Satisfaction factor (most important imo).
From reading the above threads It is clear that some companies are pains just to sign up with let alone settle a claim. A few companies stand out as one's to stay away from, a couple as ones to do business with and a handful where it is not clear yet.
This type of project is imo why an owners club would exist and to the point of getting all 15000 928's still on the road into an insurance pool to get a good product from one of the carriers and make them back it up.

As promised, I'm keeping the 928 community in the loop on how Hagerty is handling my damage claim from being rear ended 3/19/12.
I have insisted that my car be taken to Ron Ruff, in Downey, Ca. for the frame and body repairs. I've also retained an independent appraiser for the diminished value aspect after the repairs are completed. My appraiser, raves about Ron's workmanship, and the diminished value of the car has nothing to do with his work.
That said, the car will only be worth between 3 to 4 thousand dollars after the work is completed. Neither of us can figure out why Hagerty would rather spend 12 to 14 thousand dollars to repair a car that will only be worth a fifth of what it was before the accident. Plus it's costing them a grand to flatbed it to California.
I'll keep everyone posted as this drama plays out.

Then it seems to me that they will owe you the difference in what the car is worth after the repair and what it was worth before the accident.

Just got off the phone with the adjuster. Hagerty is getting a salvage value estimate, and I'll have it this Wednesday. They going to pay me the agreed value, less the salvage value if I choose to keep the wrecked car, or I can let it go.
Lots of good parts on that car, and I'm gonna be looking for another shark.

I'm totally "self-insured" for collision since these cars are not worth much and not worth insuring in my mind. It seems to have worked well. The one time I was in a bad accident that was not my fault and totalled a car, I thought I might end up buying a replacement car myself since I had no representation, but the other guy's insurance paid off with no hassle. And from what I have learned, having legal "representation" from an insurance company is not worth much. My insurance coverage is focused on having enough liability coverage to protect our assets, so that is the policy maximum supplemented by a big umbrella policy.

So in my case and in a number of other owners here, I would say they are irreplaceable and worth much more than any policy would give you. (as it exists today)

I'll buy the car for salvaged value!
In my opinion, dealing with insurance companies is alot like dealing with a Casino or Lottery game. The odds are definately not in your favor that you will make out overall in any case!

Hagerty's adjuster said yesterday that they will pay me the agreed value. Also that I had 1st refusal on buying the car back at the salvage price. Another Rennlister sent me a message that my car is already listed for auction On "COPART",without the keys. WTF. Hagerty has been a complete nightmare since the accident. The other drivers insurance has been easier to work with.
If you have Hagerty, I'd start looking somewhere else. As soon as this is over I'm getting another insurance company. I'll bad mouth Hagerty every chance I get.

They listed the car to get bids to determine real salvage value with the notation that is was NOT at the auction yard. So no one can look at it ! No keys just means you cannot start and run a car before you bid.
