At least not in this part of the state. If you have a classic, and parts/labor are likely to be exorbitant, you will have to get special insurance if you want "collision/comprehensive". Cuhulin is not the owner of such a car. The driver's record is an important part of the equation, for liability.. In my case, my provider (Beacon) gave me a special deal if I would take car insurance and house insurance from them in a bundle. AARP's Hartford had better car rates, perhaps, but refused to insure our 80 year old house as they feared electrical might not be up to standard and because we have a fireplace/chimney, even though it is not used. Therefore, we went with Beacon as it was a better overall deal. I did not even insure my 97' Dodge van for collision and comprehensive. It is only worth maybe $3000-3500, and the insurance is beginning to be prohibitive.. Cuhulin, if you want a good van, take a look at mine. It could be for sale, but I wont give it away. |

At least not > in this part of the state. Right, but many other states do. My comment was a reminder for those in such states, that they can potentially save a bit if their vehicle is worth less than the base blue book value. > > If you have a classic, and parts/labor are likely to be exorbitant, you will > have to > get special insurance if you want "collision/comprehensive". > > Cuhulin is not the owner of such a car. > > The driver's record is an important part of the equation, for liability.. > > In my case, my provider (Beacon) gave me a special deal if I would take car > insurance and house insurance from them in a bundle. > > AARP's Hartford had better car rates, perhaps, but refused to insure our > 80 year old house as they feared electrical might not be up to standard and > because we have a fireplace/chimney, even though it is not used. Some companies are really strange in what panics them, and it doesn't seem to be consistent between companies. > > Therefore, we went with Beacon as it was a better overall deal. > > I did not even insure my 97' Dodge van for collision and comprehensive. > It is only worth maybe $3000-3500, and the insurance is beginning to be > prohibitive.. Right, at some point the payout you'd get for damage to the vehicle would barely be above the deductible. |

Cheapest liability insurance for my old 1978 Dodge van.
My 1914 Model T Ford car has a hand crank and wood spoke wheels.The old
engine starts up real easy too.I get the engine running and shut it off, if one of the pistons is near the top and still has some gas in it, all I have to do is turn the key again and the engine starts right on up.I can set the spark advance lever a certain way and kick one of the front tires and the engine will start up, if the engine is still warm. cuhulin |
