You’ll be amazed what an insurance company would do to save a buck. Plus shops will convince ins companies it can be fixed to get the business .
Had a car hit by an 18 wheeler with no headlights . $15k car cost $8K to fix plus $7k extra. If totaled shop woulda got nothing.
Given the demographic, I’m guessing the benefits will mostly accrue to Germany (BMW/MB) and Japan (Lexus).
Cash for Clunkers Redux?
If the insurance company gets the car in a claim settlement but other than that????? I'm not so sure.
Viva la mexico!!!!!!!!!!!
Right before the storm I decided to list my Chevy HHR on ebay classifieds in the NYC area, but not because I was realizing the potential storm impact on the used car market. I just happened to find a larger car I had to have. But wow, maybe I’ll actually sell this little pugger? Any storm-thrashed Freeper would get a generous discount, naturally.
If there is even a remote possibility that the airbags or firing systems for them won’t go off in the future due to flooding, the ins co will total it. Not worth the liability.
Good point
