[You then have a big insurance payout, a repaired and fully-servicable car and some cash left over. (Downsides are that it is now a Cat D car...

Which is fine if you intend keeping the car. If not, it's going to be a pig to try and sell at any price
 
True, but you will have had a payout that will pretty much have covered the value of the car anyway; I understand that if an insurance company lets you keep the car then they dock about 10% of the payout value.

So, decent S2 = £4k.

Smash the rear screen. Insurance pays out £4k minus the £100 excess and 10% to allow you to keep title to the car = £3510.

New rear screen from a breaker = £150 (guess). You get to keep the car, plus a payout of £3360.

Please do check the maths, but with nearly three and a half grand in my pocket I could happily sell the car for a fraction of its value.

I have found Porsche to be mixed for prices. Servicing, smaller parts and even a number of larger parts I would say are reasonably priced from an OPC.

Some parts are astronomically expensive though (I'm sorry but how is £600+VAT for a Front Exhaust box for an S2 even vaguely sensibly priced, let alone justified (for a non cat car)...? I am not joking there either.).

Before anyone says I am unfairly chastising the OPCs, I have many receipts from them ;).
