ya i agree with you on every point. its an 07 with new car insurance. so basically what that clause in the insurance does is, in a claim where the car is written off, i will get in return the cost of replacement not including special deals etc. minus the 500$ deductable. in the event of the insurance fixing it, all new parts are to be used on the car. this clause stays in effect for the first 2 years of purchasing a new vehicle. i personally do not want to have a car that will be giving me problems in the future. i know with the methods used today they can do just about anything, but resale value and safety are some of my concerns. as for the works not being able to guarantee it, since it is going through the insurance body shop, they give it a lifetime guarantee... my question is, who's life time? lol
