Porsche - Need help in understanding.
I purchased a brand-new 2023 Porsche Macan S for $82,000. After taxes, the total came to $86,000. I also purchased all available extended warranties and protection plans through Porsche, covering the engine, transmission, wheel/tire protection, paint/weather discoloration, etc., bringing the total investment to approximately $102,000.
As of 2025, the car has only 14,000 miles, mostly from commuting to and from work. The vehicle was in excellent condition with no engine damage.
Recently, I was involved in a collision accident, and the fault was determined to be entirely on the other party. Unfortunately, my insurance company has declared the car a total loss because the repair cost is around $40,000, and the vehicle would receive a salvage title, thereby reducing its market value significantly. My insurer has offered me $72,000 as the settlement.
This situation leaves me $30,000 short of what I initially paid, even without factoring in the warranty and extras.
🟦 1. Can I still negotiate with the insurance company after they totaled my car?
🟦 2. Should I buy back the totaled car and fix it?
🟦 3. I had 5-year warranties — if the car is totaled after 2 years, will I get refunded for the remaining 3 years?
Thank you to anyone who sees this message and replies back.
