I just learned my SHO is totaled. I scraped a rock with my belly pan in a pullout on the Denali highway and all the oil make a break for it. Thankfully I shut it down seconds later and got to watch the vast majority of the oil escape. No low oil pressure warning came up or anything so I thought the engine would be OK and I could get it fixed. I mean, it's just a belly pan right? $200 part, maybe?
No, they have to pull the engine (28 hours shop time!) and the insurance company is not willing to try to repair it with the possibility of the engine being damaged and needing replacement. They only allow a $6500 repair limit on my car which I bought for $18500 two years ago and the KBB values are ~$12k. My best case scenario might be to be able to pay off the loan and not have a car. I'm doubtful I can afford to buy back the car and get it fixed ($4k min repair).
sorry to be a downer everyone
