While he was being treated with chemo, she went to the bank that held the loan for advice. She had never missed a payment, but with… Read more
Good to know standard insurance companies usually offer it. I paid like $600 on a $15,000 loan once for it because it sounded like a good idea at the time, and I didn’t think to look it up online when they were waving the pen in my face so I could take the shiny home. Read more
Fellow Michigander here, we purchased GAP on a 2011 Ford Escape in 3/2017, and I quickly realized we had drastically overpaid.

Seems to me if you are allowed to drive it for mechanical testing that’s pretty much your out upon getting pulled over. Yeah, that might not work if you’re running errands and parked at the dry cleaner, but if you’re driving around and get pulled over who’s to say you didn’t just adjust the distributor, gap the spark… Read more
