Rebuild or total?
 
Hi All,

I have a 2005 Turbo with 75k miles that I purchased in December. 2 weeks ago, at 5mph, I rear-ended a small van. No airbags, just front-end damage.

Well, the insurance estimate is now up to $14K. It didn't get back to the engine, but took out the radiator and condenser, as well as the body parts (see pic).

I'm trying to decide if I can get aftermarket parts (and front grill especially) to cut down the $9k of parts estimate.

Any thoughts or direction are very much appreciated. Thanks!

If you don't fix it, someone else probably will.

If you like the car and it has been well maintained, I'd fix it and continue driving it.

Cayenne parts
 
I agree.
Those are a blast to drive!
If you're patient most of the parts will show up for sale
(used) eventually. The color might even match!
Good Luck.
Peter

Yikes! - on the price. (that doesn't look like 14k to fix.)

I'd get an aftermarket front bump and pocket as much I could. Only if you are planning on retaining intrinsic value. It will be hard once the FOX has a report on the VIN. Everyone says no to anything that has a scratch reported on it. Ugh... :confused:
