I had a teacher in high school who's son had a new (then) '03 Cobra, and the insurance lapsed on Friday, he was going to re-up his policy on Monday. Car was hit Saturday (hit/run). Luckily, only $1200 or so in damage, but it's a good lesson. GAP, GAP, and more GAP, if you are anywhere near even/upside down. Even if not. GAP. It's cheap.

/\ +1 to both these gents replies.

lol, i feel broke with all these ppl throwin cash at the dealers like they grow it in their back yard.

Im not upside down at all...and its no where near paid off. Somewhere in the middle.

for those who are upside down, you need to fix that ASAP. it is not a good position to be in at all.

It's not a bad one either, really, if you like the car and plan on keeping it and were smart enough to get GAP for it.

The money was obviously less important to the purchaser than the joy of owning the car. What someone else thinks the car is worth should not have any bearing on issues unless the owner decides they don't like the car anymore, or were stupid/ignorant and didn't buy GAP and get in a wreck.

Yes for GAP!

I see what your saying, i personally wont do it again.

I had it for my last car and i have it for the Z. My last car was hit by someone doing something really stupid and GAP didnt cover outside the U.S. even though im in a U.S. territory...sucks for me right. Its all good, free up my credit to purchase this car because I was upside down on the last car. NEVER will i do that again, roll over on a trade in is a BI@H.

The wife owns ours.

I own all five of my Z cars but I had to wait a long time until I could afford any of them - I've wanted a new Z car for 21 years but couldn't afford it so I held out until I could.

Not at my house. I have both Fobs.

Paid for Z in full, and saved $7400 off sticker. I even retained my social security number, and refused to give it to dealership.
