Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Looks like you had some beautiful bumpers there. Clean rust free cars can go for as much as 5k or more.
I noticed the PCA badge on your engine grill. You could ask for a valuation sheet, but I don't know if they issue that paper for 1.7 cars. Bottom line, you need to find a shop that knows and understands 914s. They'll be able to tell you if you have body damage that will total your car out. Clean rollers exist - no sense in fixing a chassis half-assed because the insurance won't cover a full repair. It's always an option to take the settlement, buy your totalled car back, and transfer the good parts over. With the remainder of the settlement money, get a nice paintjob. -Rusty (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) |

This may be of little immediate help, but it is relevant to your situation:
No two people can agree on what an 'excellent 914' is. We recently saw a 73 914 2.0 sell for 19K. It was an immaculate, low mileage, original car. Was it worth 19 large...? Not to me, but I was happy to see it! Yours is not in that category...finding its true value to support an insurance claim will be a challenge. You need to find comparable condition cars to yours for a fair market value. PS: Repair your car. They don't make them anymore and that damage is not serioeus enough to destroy it. It will be worth more even with a salvage title in 2 years than any difference you will need to pay. |

Excellence Magazine does market value reports every issue. Find the issue that has the latest 914 market value info and that will be a good start.

I might be able to help you. I am a certified R.E. appraiser. I am expanding my practice to include collector cars with a concentration on Porsche. I have access to a data base of sales over a long period of time. Since I own and finishing the restoration of a 914 I am especially interested in the valuation of our cars.
I'll need detailed pics and a history of the work done on the car. I cannot give you a certified appraisal because I have not inspected the car personally. However, I can help you with information to negociate with the insurance company. Pm me if you want my help |

No worries. PM me if you have problems, but..
damage is well less than half the value of the car, so it will get fixed. Ask me how I know (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s)

Depending on your insurance situation, it may be worth just fixing that out of pocket. For $1500 it would look better than it did before the accident. Figure Bumper and top $400, fender repair $400, damaged lights $100, and a few hundred for paint. Judging by the paint on the car, I'd just paint the whole thing and call it $2500, and you'd have a much better car than before, and best of all no claims on your insurance.

That's more than $400 in metal repair if you want it done right. The headlight bucket is damaged and getting that back to straight is a PITA. Been there more than once. It's at least $1000 to do right.

Not to hijack this thread....
But is it worth getting an appraisal on a car before an accident happens. That would prevent having to fight with insurance company's after the fact. If so, how much do they cost and are they accurate? Eddy |

Obviously that depends on who is doing the labor. That could look very nice in 6-8 hours. Little heat, little love, and a little (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) |

I had a 74 2.0 that had similar damage about 6 years ago, but not as bad as yours. On my car the front turn signal and fender were squashed and the corner of the bumper top was ripped and a very slight dent on the outside corner of a painted steel bumper. The other guy was at fault and his insurer (Allstate) gave me a check on the spot at their claims office for $1200. Unless it's a Maaco paint job, I don't see getting the whole car painted for $2500, especially with the body damage. Bumper is about $500 for a rechrome, another $200 ish for the bumper top, just to get started.

I've seen $100,000 cars painted in a home garage that came out ready for pebble beach. If you purchase your own paint, call it $400-500 for something nice, and take it to even your average Maaco, or whatever, tip the shop foreman $100, and the painter $100, you'll have a surprisingly nice job for around $1200.
A very high end and nationally known hotrod painter shot my six for me for $400 as long as I did all the prep and purchased the materials. You have to be creative if you don't want to pay full pop and still get something nice. Oh, and you don't need a rechromed bumper and new OEM top to get back on the road..... $400 will get you something very nice. |

Getting an appraisal before an accident isn't worth much if your insurance company doesn't agree with it. What is worth doing is getting proper insurance for a collector car with an agreed value. |

I agree with Anthony. Insurance companies look at a "book" like Kelley, etc and you have to fight with them for any more than that. Last time I insured a 914 with my regular company they warned me that if I got comp/collision they would only pay "book" value if the car was totaled and suggested I get agreed value with a collector company.
I have done that with both my 914's. Only problem (not a problem for me) is that you must limit use to 2500 miles per year (each co. is different) and use the car primarily for show, parades, club functions etc. and not for regular personal transport. Premiums are low. I suspect if the adjuster sees the above damage at more than $3000 they will total the car at that price. From then on it will be a fight. |

Sorry - I don't have anything useful to say other than that looks fixable and that it sucks that your nice car is damaged. |
