i thought imports arnt really taken serious, i donno though but i would like to..

[Supra_devil]

there are some disadvantages to insuring as a classic, like only being alloweed to drive a rediculously low amount of KM's. myself, i would use the alotted KM's within a couple months.

[supra_man89]

any positives ??

[Supra_devil]

cheap, and everything i belive is appraised at its actual value, not blue book.

[Deep_Blue]

You can get any car appraised at it's actual value, they just charge more. My buddy had that done to his 240 he sank a lot of money into.

yes, but its not a mandatory part of regular insurance.

[dogstar]

also, classics usually MUST be garage kept, have security systems and a bunch of other requirements.

a pain in the ass for not much gain

ok so you need to have 10 years driving experience to have classic insurance ?? ... if thats true thats kinda .... stupid lol seeing as how i dont have 10 years driving experience, but as far as i've seen, aside from the depreciation feature there's not a whole lot cool about this insurance.
fantastic work tho guys, thanx for all your help
