Hey, just wanted to give an update, we are finally working towards getting a new smart. Insurance company (geioco) took forever to move forward with the claim because they had no idea what the car was worth. when they finally gave us a number it was just over $13K b/c they said it depreciates as soon as you drive it off the lot. Even though new york state requires banks to include gap insurance with all car loans I didn't think it was ok for geico to depreciate a car that clearly gains value when it gets driven off the lot. After some arguing i convinced them to give us exactly what we paid for the car. I told them if you want to argue that the value changed I will prove that it went up, so give me what I paid or we can fight a bit and you will end up giving me more. Anyway, with check in hand we spoke to dave schembri about getting help with a new car. Today we placed our order and were told it will be fast tracked, and should be in by the last week of august. This time we chose blue silver with black interior, kept the gauges, dropped power steering. Hopefully we will be up and running soon.
