10% Gets It
Little known rule in the insurance industry. If you pay your insurance company 10% of the cars worth, they will give it back to you. I've told my wife if ever I'm killed by some maniac SUV driver, buy back the car and have some of our MINIac friends strip it down for parts, sell them, sell everything that anyone may want.
Most insurance companies don't want you to know this, but some Auto Shops have been doing a brisk, completely legal, export of 'Totaled' cars to Eastern Europe and Russia. They ship the hulks free, have them worked on for free by Vo-Tech students, then sell them off for about what a new one costs. I'm not saying it should be illegal, and I'm glad that's a little less metal in our junkyards, but I say if anyone's going to profit off your misery, it should be you.
