    Example:

    -18,100 ACV (primary ins pays this)
    $1,900 (gap insurance pays this)
    Your gain in the event of a loss 0
    Your loss if the car isn't lost 2000
    In this example you pay 2 insurance premiums

    Another EXAMPLE
    18000 ACV
    Purchase Price 16000
    18000 ACV (primary ins pays this)
    your gain in the event of a loss 2000
    Your loss if the car isn't lost 0
    Here you pay only 1 premium.

    ==========Some more differences in the examples ===========
    Example: a

    $20,000 balance (to pay off car loan) Original loan amount 20000 or more
    -18,100 ACV (primary ins pays this)
    $1,900 (gap insurance pays this)
    Your gain in the event of a loss 0
    Your loss if the car isn't lost 2000
    In this example you pay 2 insurance premiums

    QUEEN_BEE
    =======================

    Another EXAMPLE b
    18000 ACV
    Purchase Price 16000 Original loan amount 16000 or less.
    18000 ACV (primary ins pays this)
    your gain in the event of a loss 2000
    Your loss if the car isn't lost 0
    Here you pay only 1 premium.

    Keep in mind both examples are for the same car.
    In example A you're paying 4000 more for the car than in example b.
    The only reason for gap insurance in a is the fact that in a you are paying 4000 more than in b.
    NOTE:
    Don't fill the gap with additional insurance = close it by paying the right price.
    If it's suggested you buy gap it's a tip off you're paying to much.
