You bad they didn't get GAP insurance

Gap insurance is a scam in "most" instances. But dropping 100+k driving off the lot... Wait no it's still a scam, he's is just a fucking idiot for buying it in the first place ..

Maybe I got lucky. But I financed half of a car once, got the GAP insurance, and was hit at a red light.

The car was totaled, but I was also upside down on the loan. I ended up walking away with a profit.

It definitely feels like a risk/reward thing. But Im glad I had it when I needed it. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a scam, but I do feel like regular car insurance is.

Every insurance is a scam right up until you need it. Gap is cheap as hell and if you can't budget for it you should have the cash in hand to replace your vehicle.

For what it ACTUALLY pays and how long it lasts, it is extremely expensive. Most people it is good for 3-4 months and that's only if they don't put ANYTHING down. Trade in a car? Put money down? GAP is useless.

And every month you go without totaling your car it is worth much less.

And if a car/truck depreciates enough driving off the lot for GAP to make sense. You're paying too much for new and should buy used if you want that particular model.

Yes every month I don't use it. The month I did use it I'll be pretty happy won't I.
