RonDawg said:Yeah but you'll be paying the body shops involved (or reimbursing your insurer) to the tune of $22k...plus the $24k payout...so you'll be the proud owner of a $46k Leaf.
If the insurer is footing the repair bill, you're largely at their mercy in terms of what will happen with the car, whether it be repaired or declared a total loss.
Oh, yea! That is correct! I am pretty sure that we would have to pay the repairs too in such a scenario... And it is not a viable option for us... I am just stating the options that the leasing company gave us, since someone else asked what we were told by the leasing company...
Best case scenarios for us would be (and I think they are less likely): 1) we get back the fixed car and continue our insurance with their already $100 per 6 months suggested renewal rate ( they may change their mind and increase it even more) or 2) ins co pays repairs and totals the car by cutting a check for $26K market value and we get a new leaf
Most likely scenario, which will suck for us, is that we end up without a car and losing money not allowing us to get a new LEAF for some time and who knows what will happen with the outstanding body-shop bill...
Rant follows, sorry! You don't have to read it or respond to it...
That is the last thing I needed to worry about in the last month of writing a PhD dissertation and preparing for its defense, while having some issues with the daycare provider for our 2 year old, and being sleep deprived...I am already under enough stress... I just want my LEAF back
Thanks for letting me rant! I apologize again!
