Centre caps can get well stuck if the wheels have ever been refurbed (thicker paint).
Cat D....
Cars used to be categorised based on the financial cost of the total claim. Cat D was some big % of the cars value and Cat C more than the cars value.
So your boxster, add up the bumper, bracket, paint, and the assessor will likely only have made a cursory glance at the car - he would have needed to account for the risk of exhaust damage, even subframe damage or possible engine damage on these cars.
If the driver of the boxster was not at fault and they used a claims management company, the size of the claim could be even larger. Add in the rental of an equivalent vehicle for a month, and the claims management companies charge, you quickly exceed the value of an old boxster.
In this case better for them to reduce their liability risk and pay out.
Because of this financial basis sometimes you could have cat c cars with really minor damage and some well bent cat d cars.
Now they have cat s and cat n which does actually reflect the degree of damage rather than the financials - s for structural and n for non structural, which makes it easier to know what you are buying.
