Was your 914 totalled by an insurance co.?, If you bought it back, for how much? Options

[rjames]

Thankfully I'm not asking this question because anything happened to my car. The question came up because my wife's Ford Taurus was hit a while back. The insurance companay totalled it and we had the option to buy it back for the 'estimated auction price', which turned out to only be $60. A no brainer since all I had to do to get it back on the road was pull a small dent out of the rear fender and prime/paint the area.

So it got me wondering how much it would have cost to buy back a 914 that had been deemed 'totalled' by an insurance company.

Anyone interested in sharing what it cost you if you've been unfortunate enough to have to go through this?

I had a very nice '75 in the late '80's that a girl rear ended. I was waiting at a red light and she was going about 45 applying her lipstick in her rear view mirror. She was in a 3 week old Jetta. Both cars were a total loss, along with my back. The cops had no problem figuring out the cause when they arrived, I guess the red lipstick line all the way up this girls face kinda gave it away. Her insurance company paid me $4K for my car, less $300 to keep it and part it out. Dumb bitch.
