Same here. I always carry full coverage, even on cars that are 200,000+ miles.

@mitama, sorry for your situation, hope it works out for you. Since you didn't have collision I'm assuming the car was paid off. Check with a tax person, but I'm relatively sure that at least some of the cost may be tax deductible under "unexpected loss". Given recent tax changes though I'm not sure.
