2/3 of the original asking price?

Seems to me that most vehicles will be worth less than 2/3 after 5 years. I would say most vehicles drop to 2/3 after only 3-4 years.

Ya I know. I almost didn't do full for the next 6 months, but I did. If I have to replace the tranny, the full coverage is gone.

I have a lot more people to reply to, but doing it on the phone is kinda hard.

Generally speaking, the best option is to buy AL\Tiggers Bonneville, immediately sell it for market value and then use the proceeds towards the purchase of a 2-4 year old second hand car and drive it 10 years.

No, not the original asking price, the current value. In other words, the truck will be worth somewhere around $17k and I will owe somewhere around $11k. That's based on current value of the same truck only a couple of years older (and my lease runs out in a couple of years)...

If you have low deductibles just have someone steal your car

I live in a college town and have avoided several accidents and thought, "I wish I was driving the Bonneville..."

Blue Book was around $4,000 last I checked....

BTW I have full coverage as well, it's $200 every six months.
