Settlement Offered on my '09 SM5
Just received the call I was dreading... Allstate has determined that the repair costs for the Spyder was too high, and has offered me $12,600. The amount would have been higher, but I had almost 11k miles on it and I bought it new 10 months or so ago. I owe about 14.5k, but the difference will be covered by my gap insurance. So, I will be out from under the monthly payment, but also out of the great joy I had ryding, working on, modifying, and showing off what I consider a really terrific vehicle. Due to financial considerations, it will probably be a while before I can consider buying another one, but I will buy another one when I am able to do so. I'll give it a few months to see how things pan out before I begin to sell off the stuff I accumulated, just in case something comes my way and I find use for it. While my time in the "Spyder community" was very brief, it was also terrific... I appreciate all the folks who were quick to help me and offer advice on the mods and maintenance I did on mine. I wish you all the very best! PS... if you don't have gap insurance, do yourself a favor... get it...LOL. One last topic, I was informed that I'm not allowed to buy back the damaged vehicle because it is actually the property of the finance company, but if I could, it would cost me $1800.
I had a acident w/ motorcycle 3 years ago not w/ my spyder....
