[DeTomaso] Insurance.

[Julian Kift]

That indeed is very cheap, are you sure it is 'stated value' i.e. you tell them you think its worth $50K, in a total loss they write a check for what they think current fair market value is as opposed to 'agreed value' where they write a check for $50K.

With Hagerty I pay $141/yr. for $50,000 stated value and zero deductible for my Pantera, which seems pretty reasonable to me.

In the end I stayed with American Hobbyist (whom have just adopted their parent Company name of American Collectors). They were competitive, but moreover their lack of track exclusions fitted my needs. They did make me sign a waver specific to the Ultima as in their words 'it looks like a race car', but even so the waiver was no 'timed or competitive racing' leaving HDPE track days open.> > Hagerty have the best reputation when it comes to a claim, but their rates on the Ultima alone were as much as I pay for 5 cars with American Hobbyist and they have full track exclusions.> > Julian> _________________________________________________________________> Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Chat.
