Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

20 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello friends, I will start the process to order the parts damaged for my boxster from the accident I had yesterday. need your help and patience if you may thank you. I will get a list from my mechanic by next week, but he is Cypriot so I have to try to find the right word in English so I can search from ebay, if you can tell me a good site from UK that can sell spare parts would be great so I send them an email with all the things. for time being, he said I need to change the 4 *WORD MISSING* that hold the tires on front, those broke from the impact, do you know what he is talking about?

POST 2Original post

Didn't you just get this car? What happened? Sorry you had an accident. Pics of damage would help know what you're referring to. Is it driveable? Bolts? Ball joints?

I did man not even 2 weeks, had to wake up to go to Athens on a business trip, woke late, had 30 minutes to go (20 minutes away the airport) no coffee nothing, so I lost track of the car while on the curve, and bumped on the sidewalk and hit a sign completely, I will go this Saturday to where I sent it and take good pictures of the damage, no its not drivable, the 4 wheels carriers thing I don't know what they are called broke (2 front) the suspensions? I don't know what they are called, front bumper, the rims damage, I am estimating around 1000-2000 euro at least for parts. I am very very sad, and I am trying to take all my savings which is 2K to use it on this now. I will give all the details on Sunday evening after I meet with them and see what we need.

Man, that's not good to hear, hope all gets sorted soon and you're ok.... it is only a car after all, as much as we all love our Boxsters....... health and life come first...!! All the best and good luck.. Si.

Indeed, thank you my friend I appreciate it.

POST 6Original post

May want to weigh what the total fix including body & paint comes out to vs how much your insurance will go up for a single at fault claim or if they cancel what another carrier would charge. This may be expensive and you want it made whole and done right.

Quotes source post: 406192

Sorry to hear about accident. I believe the missing words would be lugbolts that wheels attach to. Then you would need lugnuts to secure the wheels. And I think there are 5 of each if I remember correctly?! Cheers, Guy PS I am assuming you mean wheels/tires in this context?

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 406211

correct, I will get more details this Saturday to see it up close with my mechanic. Insurance wont cover anything because I have 3d party. also, the estimation is around 2000 euro to 3000 euro including the fees. but that says nothing unless we see it part by part. lug bolts, lets try deeper, the tire broke completely, from whats holding it, so I will be looking for the the part that is locks the tire, I guess

There is a picture of the damage on the 'what did you do to your boxster today' thread. Just from the picture - both headlights, bumper and IIRC the hood all seemed to be damaged.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The head lights thank god are not damaged they just flew out and I saved them the hood can be fixed just the bumper is total loss iirc what is that here is the photo but will get more on Saturday Sent from my SM-N7505 using Tapatalk

POST 11Original post

IIRC is shorthand for "If I Recall Correctly'.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks ok got it right it was some terminology for the car lol Sent from my SM-N7505 using Tapatalk

POST 13Original post

You have the flying headlights on your Boxster? Does anyone know the option code for that? TO

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

U want the code of the head light? Sent from my SM-N7505 using Tapatalk

POST 15Original post

He was making a joke LOL Probably lost something in the translation No harm, No foul

POST 16Original post

Yes Chris, I was just making a joke. There is no such option as "flying headlights", but you were indeed fortunate that yours ejected at the time of your accident, as their replacement cost would have eaten up ALL of your budget. Just tryin' to make you smile a little now, as I know you must be in great distress over the accident. TO

POST 17 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

You got it right thank you I did smile actually my true smile will come soon while I save up, and start fixing it my savings are 1000 euro my family will contribute so soon I will start buying some parts I'm sure one day soon coz I got my health and your support and making me smile 😊 Sent from my SM-N7505 using Tapatalk

POST 18Original post

Best of luck with this, nothing could be worse than owning a boxster for such a short time before something like this happens.

POST 19 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Indeed, for now it will be hard, my mom just got a loan to help me asking 1000 euro from her boss and to deduct 250 euro per month, my dad unfortunately cannot, I know I am 32 years but life is hard, I have a great career but underpaid. Chris Abou-Chabké - Cyprus | LinkedIn Is who I am. I will go this Saturday to see the car, they said that it needs around 4000 euro so I will be around 3000 euro short, I would really appreciate freely your support for whatever amount you can, to try and help me try to fix my only dream, its sad because I have to pay also 400 euro per month because I still owe 11K euro for the car for 3 years, and now I cannot even drive it. Any donation will be highly appreciate it, and I can put your names for remembrance on my personal gaming website, (I am also known there). This is the only I thought I could also get some support until I save each month some more and more to order things so I can start fixing it. God be with all, and again, would help me a lot, I thought I would ask, it doesn't hurt, since it will be a hard road. thank you all. Welcome to no.Limit Clan - Official Website! From my website will link to me. Thanks all who will help me with any amount, I need to reach this 4000 euro and right now I am short €2500.

Trust me that may not go well, I wish you the very best of luck though. With Porsche ownership you have to expect the unexpected, and make sure you are financially prepared. Be on the look out for parts from salvage yards and such, some of the parts you need can be found for a decent amount. I know your location will make things difficult, and that is why I wish you the best of luck.
