Sure, but TTL is irrelevant to the insurance discussion, unfortunately.

It absolutely is. When a car is totaled the insurance co pays you for these as part of the cost of the vehicle.

If you bought a $35k new Subaru, drove it off lot, put it through 300 miles and a tank of gas in 2 weeks and decided you didnt like it...if you took it back to the dealer and said buy it back what do you think they would offer you? A HELLUVA lot less than $35k you paid because now they have to sell it a bit under the $35k other similar Subarus just to move it to a different customer. If you tried to sell the same Subaru private sale only a moron or desperate person would pay the NEW price for a USED car even with 300 miles on it. Sure there's some exceptions on rare vehicles and whatnot, but we're talking a pretty run of the mill subaru here.

take a look at these prices of used 2023 outbacks and get back to me.

Bro trying to say they got 7,000 in options on a subaru?


negative


Nice math there. $36k minus the $32k base price is not $7k last I checked. And they do have a $3k option package, plus accessories btw

like I said above I dealt with this twice in a year. Once my kid's fault and one not his. Both vehicles had less than 3k miles on them.

He's wanting 38 from his insurance. Try to keep up.

Why do you keep quoting base price when OP clearly states he has the $3k option package?

33266. You're missing the point, it's still less than the 38k he wants from his insurance company.

Making him whole costs 33266. Dude overpayed for his car and wants insurance to fill the void. Pretty obvious what happened.

In a thread with a lot of bad replies this may be the worst, congrats. Nothing you typed is relevant to the actual situation in the OP.

Ever think that dealers lie? Once you get in there "you only get this price if you buy the $2000 protection pack" The carmax price is a real price and you can buy it right now from your phone instead of playing dealer games. Those carmax prices are a real comp, i used them on a 2022 civic and 2023 acura. You are off on the options as well and don't forget part of being made whole is being paid TTL by the insurance company.

So I looked into it more and it’s only true in about 2/3rds of states. Regardless, I didn’t realize it was true anywhere.

It has everything to do with buyers habits which has everything to do with how much a used car sells for.

You can disagree with me all you want.

But when someone returns an open package to the store, is that the specific one that you grab off the shelf?
Or do you grab the unopened one?
Legitimate question if you want to provide a legitimate answer.

The answer directly affects the number of qualified buyers for the product.
Supply and demand set the price.

Whole lot of words just to say that you're cool with the insured not being made legitimately whole.

I've done a few property claims in my day, and this is by far the closest so 100% that I've ever seen. It's usually significantly less.

Also, you can't ultimately fight anything. The insurance companies all use a program that does the calculations and provides the numbers. Even if you were to sue and go to trial, the courts pretty much always side with that program. And the insurance companies will not settle or negotiate, as not to affect the larger market.

I'm sure this will get lots of downvotes, but if you need gap insurance, you can't fricking afford the car!!!


I dunno about that. You should get back what you paid. OP is out $2k to have it for one month.
