Yep it hit the side of my car on the highway against a concrete barrier, i will be taking it to Porsche body shop to get it fixed, but how much do you think it will cost? i have insurance but im just wondering, both rims need to be replaced, both doors have huge dents in them they need to be replaced cant be popped out., and is this a big deal, and my rear passenger door it looks like i hit it hard enough in the area where you close the door maybe its a part of the frame? idk how to explain it. would they just pop that out?


thanks

 

Sorry for your trouble, but we should run a sweep on this one. My guess is $9-12K

Its not going to be cheap

 

My wife rubbed up against the side of a 53' semi trailer. The Cayenne needed a fender,mirror, headlight and wheel, but the door panel wasn't that bad. I though the door needed to be re-skinned but it didn't. The shop said you don't want to re-skin a door if you don't have to. It sounds like that you may need that.

Mine was over $5k and took forever to get fixed it was hard to find some parts.

 

Were you in the southern blizzard???? What happened?

 

Agreed, $9-12K range.

 

Post a pic...

 

Yea - let's see before and after please!

 

Cayennes don't have frames

 

When wheels are damaged by side impact, chances are high that the suspension will be hit as well.
It would be great to see a picture first.
If the airbags went off, it's going to cost $$$.

 

Hi Gert long time no hear, hope all is well

 

All is going well, thanks for asking.
I have 2 Cayenne projects here in the workshop so this thread got my attention.

 

Sorry no pics, dropped the car off at Hbl Porsche dealership they have a collision center. I hope the suspension isnt damaged. the steering felt fine after i hit.no airbags went off. if you see the 18th pic in this cayenne http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...spagenameZWDVW

you will see the area im talking about where it got dented in, where the passenger door hinge us? about five inches below there.

 

I recall hearing about Cayenne owners attempting to take the easy way out (suicide), but perhaps this is the first documented case of a Cayenne trying to kill itself?

 

Wow, you must have been put in a pretty treacherous situation to have crashed such an expensive car...

 

if attempted self-immolation counts....
