AAA offered to come by and appraise my car so I can switch from the "normal" car insurance I currently have on my 914 to classic car insurance for the stated value.
I have AAA for all my insurance, so I'm not interested in going elsewhere at this time. Car is not painted an official Porsche color. It's "Shiny Primer Gray". I did not paint the engine bay or area around the gas tank. The original color was Metallic Silver. All new rubber seals, top has been painted and texture-coated with Wurth's, bumpers are re-chromed, engine is stock 1.7L (the only mod is Pertronix ignition), I have a side-shift transmission and recently re-built the transmission, interior is nice, except I have a dash cover hiding some cracks. I have later doors. Heater works, too! I've posted some pics. Let me know what you think I should use for stated value. |

Oh boy, I understand your interest in not going anywhere else but......
I did the same thing and AAA came over to inspect my car for agreed value. The guy never showed up. Finally after playing phone tag he met me at my house. First, like Haggerty's it needs to be in a locked garage. Next he inspected the garage to make sure there were no "bowling balls" in the rafters. We discussed value an I wanted 20k. He said no problem. 2 weeks went by and the policy was set to expire the next day and still no offer to insure the car. When I called that day to find out what happened they claimed the agent had entered notes saying the car would be insured for 15K agreed value. I hung up the phone and called Haggerty's. NO problem they wrote the policy that day for 20K stated value. Just my experience. If I didn't know any better they played me to the last minute. Good luck. |
