As this thread has been brought to my attention and since the car has been looked after by 9e, just wish to clear up a few points.
- The car prior to the accident (which I can confirm did happen) was looked after by us for many years
- The car did have an incident at the Ring, which had impact glances on the front and rear n/s
- The car was shipped from the Ring to a Official Porsche Paintshop
- The quote was quite eye watering, but as I understand that was replacing all parts like for like with original Porsche parts, including, for example, instead of repair a panel, replacing it.
- The cost of the quotation was apparently more than 50% of the value of the car.
- It was unsure whether there had been chassis damage from the impact, but the assumption was that it was most likely.
The owner was paid out a settlement and the car ownership moved to the
Insurance company.
Whilst I don't know the ins and outs of that, I do know that many accidents on track are not always recorded as a CAT ?, since some of these policies with regards to track usage are treated different. You can for example, take out a policy with Reis that is in addition to your
Insurance policy and if you have an accident they just pay you a settlement figure - they do not put any CAT? on the car. I presume but not an expert that in cases of CAT B, there must be some obligation that it is noted - I am not an
Insurance expert.
- I see from the thread that the car was advertised on Copart and sold.
- It is now up for sale
- We did see the car last month to perform a geometry on the car.
I won't make a comment on the condition of the car as that would be inappropriate - we have seen it just the once last month for a geometry. As always anyone interested in the car should do their own checks on the car.
One final point, we did tell the trader that if anyone rings us, we would be obliged to inform them that the car had an accident.
