Cuda911

Took a lot of effort on my part to make sure I didn't get screwed by the insurance. This level of damage totalled it:

What was the underlying damage? I don't see a totaled vehicle from the outside. The motor alone is worth a buyback...

The insurance inspector says the damage to my car is about $10k. I brought the car to a body shop that I've dealt with in the past and they will work out the details with the insurance company. I'm skeptical that it can be fixed for that. The inspector specified the wrong wheel part number and is off on that alone by about $400.

I'm pretty confident it won't be totaled. $10k sounds about right.

Yeah....I tend to agree unless the frame is buckled...do keep ups posted on what the final story is....

You may want to make sure the quote is using OEM parts. I recently talked to a body shop and they told me insurance almost never signs off on OEM parts anymore.

wyovino

Thanks. They were scouting out the OEM parts while I was there.

Any update on your 911 wyovino? Was curious about your repair hoping it is on track to being finished.

wyovino

The shop just called this morning. They are still waiting for parts and expect them to arrive by the end of this week.

^^ So they're going to fix it? Wow! Unexpected, but actually better for you in the long run I think...

wyovino

It is. My engine never loses a drop of oil between changes and I know its maintenance history. It will need a suspension refresh at some point but everything else is in good shape.

wyovino

Foamy is back, baby! A Festivus miracle.

TexSquirrel

Woohoo, glad to see it's back on the road!
Now just be more careful when driving it.

wyovino

Yes, I'll try to remember not to drive it where there might be trucks or other cars.
