Default Will it be totaled??

I'm fine as is the party who hit me - What do you think?

Late '95 Carrera - Adventurine Green/Grey, All the good options. 50K miles and in excellent condition. Sorry about the pic, but not too good with photos.

What a shame. Glad your ok. I think you want this to be a total loss. Plenty of nice 993 out there! You will find a good one.

she was a beauty
but now she is a total.
dont let them try to fix it.

hopefully they will offer you about $35,000 to settle.
best of luck.

WOW that sucks. So sorry. I'm with the others, she's dead! Probably a good thing in this case. You wouldn't want her to live life damaged I dont think.

Agreed that $35K is a good settlement amount. May take some effort to get the insurance company to agree.

Whoa! if your insurer offers you a repair I'm betting about $18K to make it right. More if you're in to the bonnet.

Good luck either way.

RIP 993. Glad you're OK. A fair number of these threads in the last few months, maybe we'll have to start a "Save the 993" campaign!
