What is the current book value of a 2004 BMW m3?
The "book value" or "Kelley Blue Book" value of a 2004 BMW M3 is dependent on many variables. The value of the vehicle is determined by the miles it has, the wear and tear of the vehicle, whether or not the vehicle runs, and whether or not the vehicle has body damage. The value is also determined by whether it is the coupe or the convertible model. Therefore, there is no standard value of a 2004 BMW M3, as this is a used vehicle and each vehicle will be worth a variable amount.

What do you do if it costs more to fix a wrecked automobile than the vehicle is worth?
If you have physical damage coverage on your policy and the cost to repair the vehicle is more than the value of the vehicle then the insurance company will total the vehicle. In the case of a total loss, the insurance company will pay you the actual cash value of the vehicle less any deductible you have. On all insurance policies, where you have physical damage coverage, the insurance company has the option to repair the vehicle, pay the actual cash value of the vehicle, or replace the vehicle. Companies never replace the vehicle.

What does gap auto insurance cover?
Physical damage coverage on an auto policy says that the insurance company has the option of paying to repair, replace, or pay the actual cash value of the vehicle. In the case where the damage to a vehicle's cost to repair is more than the ACV of the vehicle the vehicle is totalled and the company will pay the ACV of the vehicle. Sometimes when you buy a new vehicle without much or any downpayment you quickly get "upside down" in the loan. As the value of the car depreciates, the loan balance doesn't fall nearly as fast. For the first couple of years you owe more than the value of the vehicle. The insurance company has nothing to do with auto loan. GAP insurance was created to cover the difference in the ACV of the vehicle and the loan payoff. You can buy GAP insurance from the finance company or bank that financed the vehicle or from your insurance company. Purchasing from the insurance is much less expensive and you can drop the coverage once the loan balance falls below the value of the vehicle.

It is different from regular insurance because it covers you for the difference between your car's value, and what you owe on it if you have an accident that totals the car, or the vehicle is stolen. If you are making payments on the vehicle, and you owe more than its value, your GAP insurance will cover the difference.

What is Borderline total loss?
A total loss is when the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds a pre-determined percentage of the vehicle's value. For example, if your vehicle is worth $10,000 and the damage exceeds $7,000, your vehicle may be considered a total loss (depending on the state and your insurance company's policy). A borderline total loss would be (in the same example) if the damage to your vehicle is close to, but not quite $7,000.
