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? |

Back in 1990 my 68,000 mile near mint creamsicle was slightly dented and totaled. I bought it for 2400.00 and when wrecked 3 days later the insurance company gave me right at 6000.00 then charged me 400.00 to get it back with a clear title.

I Guess that is just how they do it in Tennessee. A few months ago my daughter drowned my Honda Accord and insurance company totaled it. They deducted 400.00 from my settlement check and I retained the car with current title. |
