I would be pissed off at someone thrashing my stuff and THEY had better have good insurance because all that old stuff isn't going to be cheap to replace
I supose JSH will say that's not how it works.......
If you finance, you don't get such a choice

I knew a guy who had a hit and run. There's also thievery. I also have a wife who did once do $7,000 of damage to the car. Also I hit a deer once, although I ended up just fixing it myself since it was much cheaper than the $1,000 deductible. I also have teenage boys who I may some day let them drive one of my cars...
But in the end, if I bought a car right now, like the Tesla, it would be financed. I did throw the Tesla out there as an option, but my plan right now is to just keep using the Avalon and saving what money I would be paying for it if monthly payments continued. Maybe, if I keep it long enough, I'll have enough saved up to buy a new car outright.
