    GAP coverage is insurance to payoff your loan balance, in case your insurance payout doesn't cover it.. I'd keep that $700 in my pocket. The chances of using the insurance is slim, and even if you did, the most it would probably payout is $2000-$3000, and $700 is way too much money to pay for that amount of insurance..

    Complete Titanium is probably some sort of paint protection... If so, just keep your car clean and waxed and save that money, as well..
