it's probably worthwhile if you're the kind of buyer who doesnt want to put down any money at purchase and know that you're going to want a new car in 2-3 years.

i've never purchased gap insurance because (a) i usually put down 20-25% with cash or trade-in on purchase -- at the very least i'm paying all taxes, tags, title and fees plus 10%, and (b) i tend to buy used / off-lease / CPO vehicles that have taken the first big depreciation hit, and (c) i tend to keep my cars 5-6 years and ride out the rest of the major depreciation.
