You have to read what the limits are that your GAP policy WILL pay out. The "nice" salesmen or finance guy will tell you anything but, as with any contract it's what's written in the paperwork. One I saw had a MAX of $5,000 over what your insurance would cover you. IF you were really "upside down" you'd be up the creek. The coverage are usually in smallprint on the back, hard to see. I've seen dealer sale GAP insurance for $499 or more. I've bought it when I refinance my vehicle a month later from a credit union from $99 to $299. The dealer makes a profit on it just like the vehicle. What was jm&a's reason for only paying half? Since it was insurance, I'd file a complaint with your state's insurance board.
