NO. GAP covers the GAP left (if any) of what someone owes and the current market value of the vehicle should the loan balance exceed market value. In other words, you owe $16,000 on a vehicle and your car's only worth $13,000, YOU will be held repsonsible for the remaining $3,000. If you have GAP, it will pay the remaining $3,000 and you will be left with nothing but you also will owe nothing. Sale and loan contracts are legally binding and once signed that loan MUST be repaid. If such contracts weren't legally binding dealerships wouldn't be in business.

Usually if the vehicle is over 10 years old and worth less than $3500. However, the value is a personal preference.

Does having full coverage auto insurance in MI mean if my car is totaled and I wasn't at fault the car will be paid off?

Firstly, there is no such thing as full coverage auto insurance. This is just a term that developed over time to mean whether or not you wanted physical damage coverage on your vehicle or not. Secondly, if you have physical damage coverage this has nothing to do with what you owe on your vehicle. the physical damage section of an auto policy says that the insurance company has the option to repair, replace, or pay the actual cash value of your vehicle. I suggest if you purchase a new vehicle to consult your agent about GAP coverage which will pay the difference between the ACV of your vehicle and the amount owed. Never purchase this from the dealer and it will cost you several times what you can get it from your insurance company for.

What does the car insurance do after they totaled the car?

According to most auto insurance policies, the company will repair, replace, or pay the actual cash value of the vehicle insurance if you have the appropriate coverage. If the vehicle is deemed a total loss, which means that the cost to repair is close or over the actual cash value of the vehicle, the company will pay the value of the vehicle to your finance company or bank if it is financed, and will pay you any amount over the amount owed to the bank or finance company, if it is financed. At this point you have in effect, sold them the vehicle so they will take what is left of the car.

If you modify your vehicle in any way, you may need additional car insurance to protect it. Vehicle modifications are partially covered through the comprehensive insurance coverage of many policies.
