Curious a month or two back I plugged in the car's VIN into a google search and believe it it or not found the car with most of its body intact (and apparently repaired though of course I do not know how well) for sale for $300.

Suspected cause
They are going to say that the injury was due to some other cause because you said you were fine at the accident scene and didn't seek medical attention or even bother to get checked out.

Suggestion
I'd recommend buying it back from the insurance co and parting it out, if you have the garage space and inclination.

The upside was that we made the decision to keep the Cayenne to replace the Merc instead of trading it in for the Macan S.

Yeah if its written off, pretty sure it will be if they set a sensible price I will break her up but time is always my issue may be pay a intern to do it
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

While stop too turn left yesterday a car apparently didn't see me with lights and turn signal on shm.
The Police officer told me she said her foot slipped! then the officer smiled and said onto the gas !
Any way she hit hard pushed me 30-40 feet past where I was stopped. Pretty sure the frame is bent as the roof popped on the drivers side and the qtr panel is creased against the drivers door. The drivers seat is reclined 10 degrees more than I had it set at.
You're upright and ambulatory. That's what matters most.
Various forms of insurance (her liability and your uninsured / underinsured motorist policies) will set the vehicle loss right. Judging from the hood damage and the high-grille damage on her car, she hit you with the brakes on, and the front suspension compressed. I presume you were stopped, or nearly so, at the time of impact.
I agree that it's probably totaled. I'd recommend buying it back from the insurance co and parting it out, if you have the garage space and inclination.
The Porsche managed really good the impact the other car is total I hope you don't have frame damage the most important thing it's that you're ok.
But man, sucks big time, if your car is not driveable anymore because someone else

Man, you can't seem the catch a break. Good luck with insurance and the outcome.
Sad thing was stupid driver error rather than something caused by things like black ice,snow storm,etc.
That is horrible. I hope no one was hurt. Is the car really done? It doesn't look too bad. But I suppose if it bent the frame there is no fixing that. If it is done, it will make a nice parts car for someone and hopefully you will be getting a new one soon with the insurance money.
My condolences and at least no one was seriously hurt.
Damn!! Hope she didn't lose cell connection if she dropped her phone, Hate when that happens, you have to start your text all over again.
At least your body is OK.
Your car may have died but she sure put up a fight. That other car looks like it hit a truck rather than a sports car. These cars may be small and light, but if the condition of that car is any indication, they have a little bit of Panzer in them. Wow.
Push to get the other driver's insurance to total the car. Do not turn this over to your insurance, as it will try to fix the car.
Have handy all the service/work receipts for the car so you can show the other insurance company's adjuster the car was loved.
Do not buy the car back and part it out. Take the money and run.
This parting out can be a nightmare. I lost my new (4 week old) 2008 Cayman S to an accident.
I kept the car -- not to part it out, but because the other driver's insurance wasn't enough to pay for the car out right -- with an allowance of $17000. With a salvage title I managed to sell the car at a salvage car auction for over $20K. The two buyers I guess planned on fixing the car.
Curious a month or two back I plugged in the car's VIN into a google search and believe it it or not found the car with most of its body intact (and apparently repaired though of course I do not know how well) for sale for $300.
So much for that parting out thing.
Thanks, Guys.
Michigan has a no fault rule so although my premium cant get hit my insurance covers the cost after the deductible so all I get from the other drivers insurance is my deductible.
I will certainly consider buying the car back from the insurance co, but the appraiser cant make it out until next Wednesday so I'll have to wait and see.
That will buff right out! No, seriously, it sucks and I'm sorry. Although someone else said it earlier, the contrast of damage between the two cars is astonishing! That car looks like it hit a Mack truck. Yeah for Porsche!!
I may be just a bankruptcy attorney, but here's a little advice for anybody in an accident like this in the future: If you get hit and the damage is this bad, sit down immediately (or better yet don't get out of the car) and insist on getting an ambulance ride to the hospital to get checked out. You may feel fine today or even tomorrow, but you might also have an injury that you are not feeling just yet. If it is a slow-speed accident, then fine to just trade insurance info and get yourself home. But something that does this much damage to a steel car, you want to get yourself checked out by a doctor - you are not being a wuss by taking the ambulance ride to the emergency room. Play it safe and get checked out at the emergency room.
If you don't go to the emergency room and get checked out, you will be screwed if you are actually injured. Not only are you putting your health at risk by playing John Wayne, but you will have a very difficult time getting insurance to cover that back or neck injury that doesn't manifest itself in pain symptoms until a day or two after the crash. They are going to say that the injury was due to some other cause because you said you were fine at the accident scene and didn't seek medical attention or even bother to get checked out.
Lastly, when it comes time to negotiate the property damage claim (e.g.- how much they are going to pay for your car), having the personal injury claim that is inherent with the medical bills for the ambulance ride and emergency room visit (even if it was just precautionary) will give you leverage to settle up. They may treat the property damage and personal injury claim as completely separate, but having the personal injury claim will be helpful.
Andy, that really sucks!
Same thing happened to me in July with an 18 year old slamming into the rear of the Merc.
The Merc also didn't have much obvious damage considering the impact and I am a firm believer
that all things being equal, if you are in the German car, you are going to come out of an accident in better shape than the other guy.
If it had been my 911, I may have ended up in jail so kudos to you for your calmness!
The upside was that we made the decision to keep the Cayenne to replace the Merc instead of trading it in for the Macan S.
The neighbors are acting a bit weird though., On Sunday one neighbor was walking her dog as we were outside raking and the first thing she said was why do you have 3 Porsches.
Bless my wife who immediately blurted out "because we can" .
The topic changed right away!
Hope you sort things out easily to your satisfaction.
^^^ MI insurance is totally different.
You sold a wrecked car, did not part it out. If you have the mechanical knowledge, sales knowledge, and space for the car/parts, it is easy to make money off a totaled car, especially when parts are worth so much compared to the overall value of the car.
Thanks guys for the support and great advice.
The insurance guy is here now looking over the car, so hopefully things can get moving.
My neck is still stiff / sore but getting better.
Who wants to start and run an auto salvage business with an inventory of one wrecked Porsche?
Really, this parting out thing... Some think its like finding gold coins in a can under tree roots or something.
It does appear MI insurance is different. That no fault thing I guess. Bummer.
I've seen a few 911s of various ages (including hers twice) take good solid rear end hits and come out far better than the car doing the hitting. Its all the structure around the engine.
Even having my Cayenne I still say that if I have to be in a serious accident, her 996 is what I want to be driving.
Well the insurance guy wants to send it to the local Porsche body shop for a proper estimate, Which is good I guess.
I have to agree the second time I've been hit hard in a Porsche and I have a lot of respect for the solidness of theses cars.
I'll update you guys as I hear more
No doubt - the first picture looks like you're a witness, not a participant.
Did the other driver's airbags pop? That thing looks like a write-off for sure...
Yeah the Chrysler's air bag went off, she was pretty shaken up bot OK.
The airbags in mine didn't but it was a rear impact but the roll hoops popped up.
True that it can be a pain in the ****, but coming up with that extra 2 grand can make a difference when it comes to buying the replacement.
A lot of people refuse to sell cars private-party for the same reason - it's a hassle - but walking away from money is something I'm not so good at. Parting out is
almost
like getting paid to break stuff...my dream job.
Yeah if its written off, pretty sure it will be if they set a sensible price I will break her up but time is always my issue may be pay a intern to do it
that sucks because I would enjoy doing it.
My bet is that people in this section would likely buy back to part out.

Considering the overall value of the 996 and the value of the drivetrain and other miscellaneous pieces, it would be hard to pass up buying a 911 back for around $5k and parting it out, or pulling the driveline and selling the shell, or just selling the entire damaged car for a profit.
I don't know the value of gold coins, but you could easily get $10k out of parting a 996.
Yup - especially if you have a common interior color, aero, and Litronics. Aero and litronics alone are worth buying the car and then scrapping it if you don't want to part out every bit and bolt.
Hi, Finally agreed a settlement with the insurance co. Decided not to buy it back they wanted $6,500 which is certainly fair and profit to be had but I don't have the time to deal with it.
The sad and exciting news is I'll be Porsche less for the next year or so, I've just agreed the purchase of a 2010 Jaguar XKR working on getting it shipped from sunny CA to less than sunny MI.
I plan to find a cheap C4 next year for winter driving and fun.
