Loud Pedal Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 My Z ended up being $400+- less than my '03 C5. It qualified as an 'exotic' car is what my agent told me. It limits my mileage, but I don't put a lot of miles on it anyway.I wasn't about to argue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert and Elizabeth Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 When we purchased our ZO6 I called our insurance company to drop the Trans Am WS6 and add the ZO6. Our insurance dropped by $17 on the six month premium. I was asking the insurance agent "Are you sure you got the vin # correct??? This is a 500+ HP car compared to a 325HP car I was dropping." We went over the vin # again and it was correct! We were quite happy with that! I believe it is because of the safety features the Z has when compared to the WS6. So Eddie, why did your insurance go up??? Any tickets or accidents we don't know about??? Come on, your the speed demon aren't ya!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have not idea why it went up??? I haven't had a ticket or chargeable accident in 35 yrs. I have a "get out of jail free" card. I have Farmers and I think they're one of the few that's not going down. There was an article in the paper about a week ago on how insurance in AZ is going down 5-15%. NOT FARMERS! I had the reverse experience than you Elizabeth. I had a 5 liter Mustang and made a deal on a new Camero a couple years ago. I called the insurance co and was told my insurance would double. I think it's just the F body cars. I was told it was because of the type of drivers each car gets. The average F body driver is 20 something and the average Vette driver is 50 something. Also the F body cars are stolen about 10 times more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knkayotte Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Apples vs. oranges here, but my insurance dropped $260 a year when I took the Vette off my insurance and I added the Tahoe. Didn't make sense to me as the Vette was almost 8 years old. I figured a brand new Tahoe would of been more.Now that I think about it, my 07 Tahoe is cheaper then my 05 Dodge I have. Must be all the safety crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don&Patty Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I know the feeling. My 2002 Z06 is cheeper to insure than my wife's 2001 PT Cruiser. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert and Elizabeth Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 We have Met Life and we pay about $154 a month to insure both the Denali and Z. We have great coverage too! Now, our new 6 month premium starts on Feb 1 and it did go up by $20 this year. I figure it is because of increased claims in our "zone". That is what they tell me everytime I call when our rates happen to go up for no reason. Robert and I have not had any accidents or tickets for quite some time. My last ticket was probably close to 20 years ago and I have never been in an accident. Now with Robert, he has not had an accident in probably 20 years and his last ticket was probably close to 10 years ago. :D No insurance company can come close to what we are paying for our cars. Now, my home is insured with Farmers. We have premium coverage with a rider for personal possessions. No one can come close to what I pay for that. Even Met Life can not come close, even with the home and car discount. And of course, Farmers can not come close to what I pay for car insurance with Met Life with the home and car discount together. Go figure! Well, if insurance rates in AZ were supposed to drop by 5-15% this year, I have not seen it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should ban someone for bringing this crap up!!!!! OH shit, Sorry. If it makes you feel any better my son use to cost me 2800 a year just for him after a few speeding tickets and wrecks while he was in college. And that was when I had him on our fleet insurance. Then he got one more ticket and they said they were going to drop my business all together because of him, at that time I was paying them around 20,000 a year. But still going to drop me... So I made him walk for six months while at college. Now he is my stock broker and CFP. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccaneer Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I had Farmers, key word HAD. I was with them for a long time and when I moved to Arizona the insurance went up a ton overnight. I came home one day from work and the wife had our new insurance bill in her hand and asked if I really wanted to keep the vette? I saw the bill and called the insurance company and said I didn't want to repurchase the car, just insure it here in AZ. I dropped them "like a rock", no chevy pun intended. At the point of dropping them, I had no reason on my part or wife to have the insurance go up. Farmes is "almost always" higher than others.

Guest UVETTYA Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'm not sticking up for any Insurance Co. because I think they're all rip-offs, but I called around about car and home owners insurance to all the majors and none of them could offer me a better deal than what I'm getting with Farmer's. So I'm baffled why some of us get good deals with one insurance co. and not the others? I get home owners discounts because I have their car insurance and vise versa but maybe it's because I've been with them for 10 yrs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
