Read an interesting article about the $900 billion salvaged car industry and the likelihood of insurance carriers totaling out your car. In the article it stated your minor fender bender today runs about $2900 a claim due to the high price of components. For example the article stated the average headlight costs around $600 today. Due to the high price of fixing autos many vehicles get totaled out. Typically auto insurers will total out your car once the value of repairs exceeds 70% of the value of the vehicle. With car loans often exceeding 6 years it puts consumers in a bind because they owe more on their car than it's worth. Couple that with the fact that the average vehicle on the road is 12 years old and is likely worth more to you (getting to/from work, etc.) than it's actually worth on paper due to depreciation. One of the ways to combat this is adding an endorsement on your vehicle that most insurers offer to replace your vehicle or pay off your loan if you're underwater on it. This is generally referred to as "gap insurance." Many insurers will even replace your vehicle with a newer model. For example if I buy a new 2019 vehicle and total it out down the road in 2021 the insurance company will give provide me with the same make and model of the current 2021 version. The premium fluctuates based upon the value of the vehicle but is generally less than $100/annually to provide this peace of mind. Give us a call today at (262) 248-9502 if you don't already have this endorsement on your policy or if you have questions regarding gap coverage.

In an effort to keep the price of Tesla cars low Elon Musk has made the decision to almost entirely scrap their car dealerships and require people to purchase their new Tesla over the phone or online. My immediate thought was but your'e going to want to test drive the vehicle, right? Wrong. You would not be afforded an opportunity to test drive a new Tesla but they do allow you to return them for a full refund. It will be interesting to see if this changes the way new vehicles are purchased.
