Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Gents,
My brother's '04 40th anniv. edition got side-swiped by a commercial truck and is for sure totaled..
I'm trying to assist him on coming up with a fair payout value from the ins company.. We got a number that seems low to me. (big surprise, eh?)
Car had 51K miles, completely stock, and was in good condition.
I'm not up to speed on 996 pricing so would appreciate some thoughts.
I would check this site out. The guy who runs it has compiled every 40th anniversary that is for sale out there.
I would think the insurance number would be at least 35k.

There are some good bits worth getting on a 40ae , I got my limited slip diff out of a written off one , I had it guard upgraded and fitted in my c2 .
The x51 motor and mo30 suspension and chrome wheels are great too .

Private Party Value- $26,152 - $31,087-50.8 Private Party Range.
Given 40AE and mileage options.
I would hold out for $36,774 or more.
So sorry to hear about your brother's 40th. I'm the guy e90steve mentioned in his comment - you and I have emailed one another about your brother's car before. I'd be happy to try to help you and him with valuation from our Registry records. I'll put my email here so you don't have to look it up. Ted ([email removed]).
As others have mentioned...I would be interested in a few parts if it does get parted. Luggage? LSD perhaps. Sport seats if it had those instead of the "comfort" seats.
If he's looking to buyback and sell the whole thing - drop me a line. Maybe an opportunity for him to make some quick money and get it out of his hair.
Good to hear no injuries.
Sad to see another AE lost.
My buddy just totaled his 2004 C4S CAB TIP with 130k miles. Got 32k and is buying back. IMS Done and in excellent condition for a high mi P car.
I have 32k miles on my showroom conditiion, full luggage set AE.
Good to hear someone thinks these cars are appreciating after years of being part of the 996 hype worse cars P evermade story.
Thanks everyone for the input. After taking some of this data back to my brother (and subsequently the ins. company) they upped their offer by almost 9K. Needless to say, he accepted. My brother is a busy guy and travels a lot, so a quick resolution was a big factor. He was prepared to accept 33 and the offer came in a few K higher.
Sad, unfortunately, as now the car will be owned by the ins. company. Not sure where the car will end up, but based on the amount of interest from people regarding parts, I'd say there will be money to be made on that side of the transaction..
Thanks again, gents.
^ almost 16K. He is not the type to part out the car himself (no room or skill in that dept to be honest..)
I could do it but space is a concern as I already have too many cars for the space I have
You should flip it for a dismantler who wants it, call one up and see what they would offer. However, $16K is on the high side and not likely worth it frankly. Just to give you context, I bought a 2007 GT3 for 13K which is much more valuable for parts to a dismantler.
^ I talked about it with him, and even reached out to one of the dismantler contacts given to me in this thread.. But the guy needed pics, which I didnt have readily available, and my bro travels a lot so not much free time to take care of the logistics. He got a fair deal, that's all he was after..
Thank you for reaching out to us on this one. Still interested in purchasing for the right price, but definitely need photos to get started.
Sorry about the loss though. Beautiful spec on these cars!
Is this your brother's car?

I assume it is, mileage is what you stated and in Texas. Other than the accident damage, do you know if it had any issues before the accident?
So sad to see a 996 in that state of damage! Somebody has to say it - that'll buff right out!
Okay...so maybe a new door and front fender and lots of PDR. LOL The interior looks spotless. Certainly worth $10K just for the 3.6L and interior.
YEah, the last time I saw it in person it was in very nice shape.
My brother said a large commercial truck just changed lanes on top of him.. some young kid was driving and was obviously very distraught when he saw the damage..
Not sure if the X51 motor fetches much more $ than just a standard 3.6, but ya gotta figure someone would want it..
