Anybody have Agreed value insurance?

If ya do who's your carrier. I don't drive enough to make normal insurance worthwhile. Besides, who wants to pay $500 a year when you'll only get $3k or so out of the car. Most everywhere I've tried says a Subaru isn't a collector car.

if you find anything let me know.....I was looking for something like that for myself since I won't be driving the SVX much now.

By the way not to get off topic, but check out the addition in my signature......

I doubt you'd be eligable as every one that I came across says the car must be kept in a locked garage when not in use. All the more reason to move though!

Congrats on the addition. Keep the Legacy. You know you wanna!

how'd i miss this thread? i desperately tried to find collector car insurance about a year ago for the 97. i've only put 2700 miles on it on a year and a half and something happened to it, i'm sure my insurance company would only give me about $14,000 for it. i consider this car to be irreplaceable with its incredibly low mileage. i did find a company that would insure it, but it was significantly more than i pay for unlimited mileage full coverage with my regular insurance company. if i can find it again, i'll post the information here.

I have it, but not on my SVX. I doubt you can buy it. Regardless of our unbiased opinions about our collectable cars, they are no old enough to be collectable by the insurance industry standards.

If you could find it, it would be a good buy. I bought it for my el camino. It's a customized hot rod, worth perhaps $25,000. A traditional comp policy would have offered me no more than book value in the event of a complete loss. For a 43 year old vehicle that would have been about $300. The policy I bought was actually cheaper than a basic policy, and offered $25,000 replacement value.

I'm still drawing a blank but a agent did send me out an application for agreed value insurance (which is at least a good sign as most had said sorry you drive a Subaru). Sent it back in on Thursday check and pic included. A year policy for my SVX (assuming it is worth $5k which I'd put about right with 140k, an L in very nice shape) was $147.50 with a $500 deductable. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and will keep everyone updated. I currently pay $520 a year for my SVX with $500 ded. which I wouldn't mind if I actually drove it more.

Here's a list of current vehicles that you can get it on. Modern classics if you will.

2004 Vette
2004 Boxster and 911
2004 350z

If the z fits in there someone should offer it for a car with such a limited production like the SVX. I plan to apply until I get it.

Keep us up to date. My SVX isn't my daily driver and lower insurance would be very nice.

My Nationwide agent mentioned a specialty policy when I bought the SVX, with the value based on an appraisal by a "qualified" professional. (I've asked here before: Who might that be?) We never discussed numbers.
