Yeah, this has potential to fuck their life up quite a bit.
If they declare it a total loss, they owe me enough money to replace it - not what I paid for it.
I paid like 62k plus fees. It's worth about 140k, maybe a bit more - to replace it. That's a pretty tidy profit and I still have at least one more Continental GT!
Man, they're gonna be a decade trying to pay off 40k. I don't have to collect it. 'Snot my job. My insurance company will take care of me.
Well hopefully for their sake, their insurance covers it
It will only cover the policy's maximum, which is less than the full replacement value by at least 40k.
I doubt they carry an umbrella policy in addition to their cheap The General insurance.
We'll see what happens when they appraise it. They may take it, total it out, and then sell it at auction. Whatever they get at auction would be deducted from the price, so there's that. I have no idea what it'd be worth at that type of auction. Probably a fair amount of money, still. The engine alone is worth like 50k.
You think the chances of it being totaled are better than them just repairing the body work?
