Re: !!!!! Insurance Question>>>
I have been involved with this question many, many times before on other forums regarding my '67 and my '93 Z. First, to set the record straight, I am a State Farm agent with 30+ years on the job. State Farm, at least in Maryland, has what they call a Stated Value policy but I submit it is an Agreed Value policy. Copy of Maryland Endorsement is listed here:
6171AG ANTIQUE OR CLASSIC MOTOR VEHICLE This endorsement is a part of your policy. Except for the changes it makes, all other terms of the policy remain the same and apply to this endorsement. It is effective at the same time as your policy unless a different effective date is shown for the endorsement on the Declarations Page. This endorsement is issued by the STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY of Bloomington, Illinois, or the STATE FARM FIRE AND CASUALTY COMPANY of Bloomington, Illinois, as shown by the company’s name on the policy of which this endorsement is a part. In consideration of the premium charged for your policy, it is agreed that: 1. COVERAGE UNDER SECTION I – LIABILITY – COVERAGE A AND SECTION II – NO-FAULT – COVERAGE P APPLIES ONLY WHEN YOUR CAR IS USED IN EXHIBITIONS, CLUB ACTIVITIES, PARADES OR OTHER FUNCTIONS OF PUBLIC INTEREST AND OCCASIONALLY FOR PLEASURE AND BUSINESS. 2. SECTION IV – PHYSICAL DAMAGE COVERAGES a. Limit of Liability – Comprehensive and Collision Coverages This provision is changed to read: The limit of our liability for loss to property or any part of it is the lower of: 1. the actual cash value; or 2. the cost of repair or replacement. You and we agree that the actual cash value of your car is the vehicle value shown on the declarations page unless: 1. your car has been damaged; 2. parts have been removed from your car; or 3. your car’s condition has changed due to abuse or neglect after the vehicle value shown on the declarations page was agreed to and prior to the loss. If any of these events have occurred, the agreed upon actual cash value is the vehicle value shown on the declarations page reduced by the decrease in the value of your car due to such damage, the removal of parts and damage caused by the abuse or neglect. Any deductible amount that applies is then subtracted. The cost of repair or replacement is based upon one of the following: 1. the cost of repair or replacement agreed upon by you and us; 2. a competitive bid approved by us; or 3. an estimate written based upon the prevailing competitive price. The prevailing competitive price means prices charged by a majority of the repair market in the area where the car is to be repaired as determined by a survey made by us. If you ask, we will identify some facilities that will perform the repairs at the prevailing competitive price. We will include in the estimate parts sufficient to restore the vehicle to its pre-loss condition. You agree with us that such parts may include either parts furnished by the vehicle’s manufacturer or parts from other sources including nonoriginal equipment manufacturers. Any deductible amount that applies is then subtracted. 2 6171AG b. Settlement of Loss – Comprehensive and Collision Coverages This provision is changed to read: We have the right to settle a loss with you or the owner of the property in one of the following ways: 1. pay the agreed upon actual cash value of the property as determined above in exchange for the damaged property. If the owner keeps the damaged property, we will deduct its value after the loss from our payment. The damaged property cannot be abandoned to us; 2. pay to: a. repair the damaged property or part, or b. replace the property or part. If the repair or replacement results in betterment, you must pay for the amount of betterment; or 3. return the stolen property and pay for any damage due to the theft. The Settlement of Loss provision for comprehensive and collision coverages incorporates the Limit of Liability provision of those coverages. If we can pay the loss under either comprehensive or collision, we will pay under the coverage where you collect the most. When there is loss to your car, clothes and luggage in the same occurrence, any deductible will be applied first to the loss to your car. You pay only one deductible. c. The following is added: Coverage for Spare Parts We will pay up to $500 during the policy period for direct and accidental loss of or damage to spare parts which are owned by you and in your possession. Spare parts means equipment designed to be used with vehicles of the same make and model as your car. Chief Executive Officer The highlighted section changes the standard auto policy to reflect the changes outlined here. State Farm's definition of a classic car is one over 10 years old, maintained by a hobbyist or collector and is of limited production and/or historical interest. My coverage on my '93 Z has liability limits of 250/500/100, PIP, Comprehensive w/$100 deductible, Collision w/$500 deductible and Uninsured Motorist limits equal to the liability. The Stated Amount is $50K, cost is about $214.00 every six months. I have declared an annual mileage of 5,000 miles and drive my Z to work just about every Friday. I have always tried to explain to all of my friends on all of the forums, "You can buy enough insurance to keep your tags, or you can buy enough insurance to keep your house." Pay attention to your liability limits, guys. Open for questions and the inevitable comments now. |

Re: !!!!! Insurance Question>>>
Hagerty insures my 90 ZR1 as an exotic agreed value. They insure my 85 as a collector agreed value, but not the ZR1. The exotic is more than the collector rate.

Re: !!!!! Insurance Question>>>
Ive got Hagerty on my 91 with no problems,Ive also got Leland-West on my 64 Nova and Im getting a load of bull$hit from them right now.About a month ago my Nova got smacked by a public bus,I figured Id get my insurance to give me a hand with it so it would speed up the process,wrong.It took them 11 days to get an appraiser to look at the car,the guy drove 2 hours to estmate the damage only to find out Leland-West couldn't give me an estimate because they didn't have info on old cars,Collector insurance and they didn't have info for old cars?My problem in all this was years ago I put the value on the car at $4,000 so thats what they are going off of.The car was parked for 2 years and just got the car back on the road.The estimate is $2600 at a shop rate of $75 an hour,Leland-West wants to total the car,not gonna happen,Im getting your typical insurance run around.I thought Leland-West would take care of this and get reimbursed from the bus company.Now I get to do the insurance mambo with the bus company.Leland-West is a broker for American Modern Insurance Company.I wont be renewing my policy.The bright side in all of this,I almost took my Z out that day.

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea that NCM offers insurance and I'm going to look into this; if it benefits the museum too, then I also want to support the NCM too. I'll call Adam. Aloha! |
