I hit a coyote today with my 2013 Model S. I have no comprehensive coverage with ICBC since COVID19. The car has no basic warranty and my motor/battery warranty ends this March. The damage is a cracked bumper, destroyed nosecone, coolant leak and possible radiator damage. I have dashcam footage and hope that ICBC will not tell me I'm SOL.
Earlier today I ordered a 2019 performance model 3... Worth a shot to try and trade it in? The 2019 Model 3 Performance is $62,400 @ 4.6% with 34,000km. With my indian status I would save about $9300 in sales tax and would go for a 96 month term(64,000km basic warranty remains). I currently owe $43k on my 2013 Model S P85(217,000km) which has no basic warranty and battery/motor warranty ends this March. 7.89% interest with 5/6 years remaining. Tesla's previous trade in value for my S was $27k. I would be at peace of mind with the 3 and would consider a regular used AWD Model 3 if this doesn't work out. What do you think I should do? Insurance is pretty similar with both vehicles. Should I try it and then if it doesn't work out maybe hold onto my S and try to sell private? Still have to see pictures of the 3 and check it out. I hate the new used car system with Tesla
TLDR: I hit a coyote with my trade in vehicle and just ordered a used Model 3 online the same day. What do?
