Thats what I was thinking. What its worth now ? This doesn't seem right. If he totals the car does the owner only gets what the new price was? I insured my Buggy for $6,000 with FULL coverage from American Modern ( Geico's (?) classic car ins.) for a $100 a year but I do run a Antique Tag with a 6,000 mile limit, but who's looking ?

that's what I suggested. I imagine she has to enter it in the computer so it can depreciate the value over 36 years for a replacement figure. Probably $200... Lets hope the dude doesn't crash it. For all I know it could be a complete rust bucket super baja and getting 2500 could be an investment!

I am paying 30 bucks a month on Stupie ( 71 Super) and I paid $300 for it. . I need to look into Antique Insurance. SC. Maybe Allstate has been reading my posts?
