Hey there @CCV ! That can be a tough situation indeed. Valuing something that has no comparables can be extremely difficult. A lot of times you have to dig in and do some homework to make your case for the value. I was able to find one for sale, although Im not sure how close you are in relation. I will send you a PM with more info

Darold

@RJ that is a great question! Color does not in fact affect insurance premiums. However there are some statistics that support the theory that certain colors get pulled over more than others. But the color that is most frequently ticketed is probably not the one you would think it is...white cars are hit with the most tickets while red comes in second!

Hey there @5869Corvette ! If you want to shoot me a DM I would love to chat with you about it!

I think I am in the same boat as a lot of other in that I dont know if I could narrow it down to just one car. There are the total unobtainium cars like the Mercedes CLK GTR or Nissan R390 GT1 but there are more realistic cars like an NA2 NSX or the 2000 Mustang Cobra R. Given a large sum of money I would probably choose several more moderate cars vs. one high profile car though.

Hey there @enderby ! Id love to chat with you a little more about the Ferraris to see if there is anything we might have missed on a previous quote! We try to be as flexible as possible with our mileage/usage. If you could shoot me a DM that would be great. As for the track day insurance we offer through RLI, how much you drive the car off the track doesnt factor into the underwriting decisions there.

Hi there @Delusion77 ! Have you looked into Intact Insurance or Co-operators Insurance? Those are the companies we usually recommend in these kinds of situations.

Hey there @biggem! I would love to look into this for you. If you could send me a message with your member number or email address that would be great!

Darold · ‎27-05-2021

I bought into this theory as well when we picked up a pretty cherry 93 Honda Del Sol. Ditch the top and roll the rear window down on a nice day and you dont even care how slow it is!

Darold · ‎19-05-2021

There are videos around of the Yamahas driving on track and the sound is just *cheffs kiss*

Darold · ‎19-05-2021

Hey there @AliceBates ! I would be happy to help you out with that! If you could shoot me a PM Ill get some info from you and we can get the ball rolling 🙂

Darold · ‎10-05-2021

Hey there @Sutton12 ! In most cases in the US, these are bikes we can offer coverage on. If you have a specific situation, shoot me a PM with your name and email and Id be happy to look into it!

Darold · ‎09-04-2021

Im a little surprised as well. Its a pretty huge sale on a very significant car.

Darold · ‎09-04-2021

If GM were to revive the Syclone name, I would much rather see it on the smaller Canyon chassis, to stay a little closer to the originals roots. Use the 3.0TT or 3.6TT Cadillac V6 for 450-500hp and keep it AWD.

Darold · ‎07-04-2021

The STi and Evo VIII/IX models have definitely seemed to be a little slower to heat up, but there have been auction results for nice, lower mileage cars that indicate they are trending upward for sure. I wouldnt be surprised if it was included in future lists like these

Darold · ‎31-03-2021

Shoot me a PM with your quote/member/policy number, or the email associated with your account! 👍

Darold · ‎31-03-2021

@Mcqueen6819 it sounds like there may be several factors at play here. But again, outside of some specific specialty vehicle classes, age alone is not a restricting factor in excluding coverage. If you have quoted with is previously, I would be happy to look into it for you.

Darold · ‎31-03-2021

Hey there @GRAHAM_TR6 ! I would love to look into your situation, as in most cases, Hagerty certainly does allow youthful drivers to be added to you policy.

Darold · ‎19-03-2021

Never let someone elses opinion influence the things you love. As a fellow Honda nerd, I know where you are coming from, and its easy to get discouraged when people make fun of you and the things you like. I have owned 4 different generations of Civic, an Integra, and now an S2000. As much as I love the S2000, and I would never consider giving it up, there is something so visceral about a B-swapped EF, but they are becoming increasingly hard to find, and more expensive. I think youre on a good track with a newer 4 door Si. The FA5 is an awesome chassis and they are quite affordable. Plus, K20. It warms my heart that there are still some younger people out there carrying the torch.

Darold · ‎11-03-2021

Hey @Swamibob! From an insurability standpoint, having a reproduction body would not effect eligibility, or detract from overall value in most cases. Same goes with vehicles that have had a new, state assigned VIN. If you have more specific eligibility questions, feel free to give us a call and one of our licensed agents would be happy to help!

Darold · ‎04-03-2021

I know there tends to be some resistance to "Miata is always the answer"(even when its true), but there are some other great options that are a little less conventional. You mentioned not liking MR2s, but they are wonderful, and you might be able to swing a later MR-S at that budget. If you want to stay with targa/convertibles, the Honda Del Sol and late 80s/early90s Mercury Capri are both great. The Del Sol can be had with a B-series engine and the Capri with a turbo. You can also go a little further off the beaten path still and find a Honda Beat.

Darold · ‎04-03-2021

I think I agree with Sajeev here, its going to be a real challenge to get into one at that budget, especially 2 years from now. Where I would start is, what draws you to the 914? Is it the "classic" aspect? The "sportiness"? Knowing what you want out of a car can help you cross shop a little, and will give people looking to help a broader range to work with.

Darold · ‎03-03-2021

I thought it would be a huge struggle when visiting Ireland a few years ago, but you adapt pretty quick. Its the turn signals and washer stalks being reversed that took effort to remember. "its easy to spot the tourists, because they always turn the wipers on when turning"

Darold · ‎01-03-2021

Hey there @DADSOLDS_1968 , we do have specific data in our Valuation Tool for the Firehawks. If you want to shoot me a DM, I would love to look into this for you!

Darold · ‎05-02-2021

Hey there @brb ! A lot of it depends on what you mean by "home built" We are fully capable of offering coverage on home built kit cars and replicas. If you have a specific vehicle in question, it may be best to give us a call and talk to one of our licensed sales agents to determine eligibility. Also feel free to send me a DM if you have more specific questions!

Darold · ‎04-02-2021

Hey there @GRAHAM_TR6, we absolutely encourage young drivers to get behind the wheel! As long as they have a clean driving record and a valid drivers license, we can certainly take a look at adding your son as a driver. I would love to look into this a little deeper if you could shoot me a PM!

Darold · ‎06-01-2021

There is a great story about him being stuck in traffic with this bike, and melting the front bumper off a tailgating Lexus.

Darold · ‎14-12-2020

Hi there @blkrcat! I would love to look into this a little deeper if you could shoot me a DM! Thanks!

Darold · ‎30-11-2020

Hi there @Robynk , I am so sorry for your loss, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. If you could direct message me, I would love to dig into this so we can get it resolved.

Darold · ‎27-10-2020

@BenM , I would love to look into this a little deeper if you could shoot me a DM!

Darold · ‎27-10-2020

Hi there Les! There certainly does seem to be quite a bit of overlap in the 2 communities. If you wanted to shoot me a DM I would love to chat!

Darold · ‎26-10-2020

Hi there @Artstreamstudio ! I would love to dig into this a little deeper if you could shoot me a PM!

Darold · ‎07-10-2020

Hi there MrKnowItAll, the Insight is a vehicle that we can consider for coverage! If you could DM I would love to look into this a little deeper for you

Darold · ‎19-08-2020

Hi there @talldan! There are a number of factors that determine eligibility for an insurance policy. While some *light* off-road usage is allowed in certain circumstances, anything beyond driving down the occasional dirt road or well maintained trail is typically prohibited. I would love to look into this a little deeper for you if you would like to message me directly though.
