    On December 18, 2013 I leased a Toyota Avalon Hybrid from a local dealer. While signing the finance docs. I was advised to purchase Gap Insurance and that I may have up to 72 hours to decide. When I returned 2 ½ days later (about 60 hours), I was informed that the car has been financed and I would not be able to add Gap Insurance.
    Since then I have been frantically, to no avail, shopping online and in person to find a provider who would sell me Gap Insurance. I even called State Farm (my original insurance provider without any luck.
    Does anyone know of an agent or a provider who’d sell me the Gap Insurance?

    Thanks.
