I don't even remember the GAP insurance being offered. Then again, we were there when it was closing so it went by really fast...
but there's GAP insurance on the boyfriend's car at least..

Love this itty bitty car!

Ack...
I hope you make a quick recovery, both emotionally and from the bruising. Any accident. no matter what the size of the car is a scary thing.

It just looks bad because it was at a body shop and they took it apart to estimate it and then totaled it. Note front support has been unbolted not ripped off.

true, but the car was actually embedded under the end of the flat bed in front of me. When they went to tow it, the flat bed tried to drive away and it simply pulled the car with it. They had to rip off the front bumper to separate the car. And yes, thank god for Gap. The only things I was allowed to take from the car were what I had added, no parts, ect. At least I won't have to pay for new mats!

Usually they wanna get ya for the extra money at signing, but the GAP makes it to where if you owe $20,000 on a car and total it and its worth $12,000 the insurance fills that in and they pay ya for what ya owe on it and not what its worth so then you would be out $8,000 without it. I was flipped on a truck and had GAP and the salesman told me I should total it on purpose to get the money...NO JOKE TRUE STORY.

I actually asked them what would happen if I drove the car off the lot and someone smashed into me (saw it happen to someone else). I wasn't aware what gap insurance was called at the time, but they clued me in and I felt it was worth the few extra bucks a month. And if my car gets stolen they pay off what insurance doesn't pay, and I get a cool $5,000 for a down payment on a new car.

You can actually buy gap insurance from other companies in case you declined the gap insurance when you bought the car..
