Yeah I actually knew some of the Vipers would just get totaled out because of the costs to simple body parts. My Elise had a crack in the front clam that you could only see when the car was on a lift, or if you sat on the ground and really looked. The dealer caused the issue, and I got a $8,600 check from a crack. Alot of those getting written off as well from mild accidents too. If you plan on just thrashing the thing around for two years and hope to come close to just breaking even then, it's not a bad idea at all. Just know selling it will become a PITA, salvaged cars are hard to sell.
