Totalled GT in local Porsche dealer.

Driver spun getting on freeway. Shattered front left wheel, three ceramic rotors with sections missing and rear wheel carrier at bearing broken in half. Two places where composite body has cracks.

600K in repairs.



no pics. San Jose, driver was getting onto 101.

Visiting Moscow?

Isn't the car only worth 400k? How can that justify 600k in repairs?

stevepaa 03-13-2008 03:25 PM

I should have phrased that better. Estimate was 600K. So insurance totalled the car.

IMHO it is too much car for the average driver.

Porsche-O-Phile 03-13-2008 03:42 PM

Dibs on the drivetrain. How much?

Maxim1 must have been on vacation in the area...

owned by a local computer exec.

dealer rep said insurance will probably recover over 350k from sales of parts.

How can it cost 600k to repair a car that costs 400k brand-frickin' new?

svandamme 03-14-2008 06:05 AM

at the rate they are crapping out, i don't see the parts going up in price
long term the demand goes down, every time the supply goes up

i guess the owner of the last cgt on the planet, will not have to worry bout finding parts for the car :D

thought the body was 3 sections - if the middle or rear got damaged it got flown back to the fatherland to be repaired - if the front was damaged it could be repaired by replacing that section

Sounds like they might be alittle fragile. Guess I'll hold off on getting one.
