Isn't the car only worth 400k? How can that justify 600k in repairs?

I should have phrased that better. Estimate was 600K. So insurance totalled the car.

IMHO it is too much car for the average driver.

owned by a local computer exec.
dealer rep said insurance will probably recover over 350k from sales of parts. |

Gon fix it with me hammer

at the rate they are crapping out, i don't see the parts going up in price
long term the demand goes down, every time the supply goes up i guess the owner of the last cgt on the planet, will not have to worry bout finding parts for the car

thought the body was 3 sections - if the middle or rear got damaged it got flown back to the fatherland to be repaired - if the front was damaged it could be repaired by replacing that section
