Another question worht asking regarding the convertible minus the top: How much would they pay as the insurance settlement and also let you keep the car itself as-is?
(You would not be able to put collision or comprehensive insurance on the car any more.)
In an earlier lifetime I was given the choice of turning in a car for a $700. settlement or keeping the car for a $500. settlement. The car was perfectly drivable so I chose to keep it and it lasted for another two years with no needed repairs from the collision.
Well, the car would've been useless to us without the top. We're in NYC and we'd hardly be able to drive around without a roof. At any rate, the roof was replaced, the insurance paid for almost all of it--the deductible was $500--and everything's fine now. I'm counting on evil lightning not striking twice!
