i didnt have agreed value on my gt4. granted it wasnt a 220k car. but when the adjuster gave me the pay out price and was way low, i have who has a friend ( lol ) who is an independent adjuster and other things, ect. i invoked my right to dispute and he went to arbitration with allstate. it forces them to use an outside adjuster as well and what they agree on, allstate is required to pay. he got me another 12k for the gt4, based on recent sales comps. not the low ball comps the allstate guy used.

Yes, to your question, the car was posted in this thread, it is a dedicated track car, hopefully sold to another dedicated track hobbyist, that has a very limited appeal.

No mods or select mods (sharkwerks bypass for example) and it could be 80-100k higher.

this is exactly what happened w me and Allstate when my gt3 was totaled. No declared value. Their first offer was an out of touch lowball. I hired an expert and invoked the arbitration clause. I ended up getting 30K+ over the original offer and was able to recover the market value for my car.

how much did it cost to hire someone?

TheBucketOfTruth

I did this once when I had a loss on my built Toyota. Guy cost $320. I paid extra in premiums every month for my declared list of mods hoping that meant I wouldn't get screwed if something happened. But then we had the total loss and they told me "no sorry the extra premiums are only for theft or vandalism not factored into a total loss." They offered me $6,700 I think it was on a rig I paid 15k for less than a year prior. I sent them a bunch of comps and they didn't budge. Hired the guy for $320, $200 of that was actually paid for by my policy. Got a stated pre-loss value of $15,300. They said yes to it right away. Best $120 I've ever spent. I ended up paying the insurance the buyout value and sold the truck for a lot more after that. So yeah if you aren't on an agreed value policy these services are well worth it in the worst case scenario.

Stunningly low price.

Put the interior back in, remove the slicks and the front half of the cage (maybe the wrap) and this would be most the way to your 80k.

Or better yet, enjoy this as way our cars were meant to be enjoyed! A shame that is such “limited appeal.”

I agree. Some carpet, oem sport seats or recaros, and a new wheel and it's stock-ish.

Easier said then done with a welded in cage.

Someone asked why it did not have as much interest...asking if modifications was a factor.

Title of the listing:

2010 Porsche 911 GT3 3.9L Track Car

This 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 has been modified for track use with a six-point roll cage, racing buckets, adjustable Motion Control Suspension components, PFC rotors, and a Shark Werks 3.9L conversion built by EvoSpec for its flat-six. A Guard limited-slip differential, BBS WC-GT wheels, M&M headers, and an FVD Brombacher muffler bypass and dive planes were also installed, and the exterior was wrapped in blue vinyl.

Forged monoblock 18″ BBS WC-GT wheels wear Pirelli P Zero competition slicks and are mounted with a five-lug hub conversion. PFC two-piece rotors and Pagid RS pads have been installed along with a power steering cooler, and the suspension has been modified with Motion Control Suspension three-way adjustable dampers, uprated springs, and RSR-style monoballs.

The carpeting and seats were removed, and a 4130 chromoly cage was TIG welded in. OMP seats and Schroth harnesses have been installed for both occupants along with a Numeric Racing shifter with Motorsport cables and a MOMO GT3 Cup steering wheel.

ETC....

Pics in the listing are of the previous owner using it as a dedicated track car.

Yes, modifications and track use was a factor, as far as a great deal, maybe so, IDK.

Joe Cho

I mssed that part.

TheBucketOfTruth

Yeah not rocket science why it wasn't more and still a strong sale if you think about what pricing looked like not even that long ago. Sharkwerks conversion not being done by Sharkwerks probably didn't help either. Wrapped cars seem to be penalized too since you can't get a good look at the underlying condition. Looked like a fun car but easy to see that the potential pool of buyers for such a thing is going to be quite a bit narrower than a stock or lightly modified example, and seems sad and a pain to try to undo everything and put it closer to stock.

You'll also need the dash, door panels, all the pillars and roof, the rear deck insulation and carpeting. Once that's all done, you have to remove that blue vinyl and hopefully don't get surprised with razor blade marks in the paint or poor paint quality, but it is cheap.
