QUOTE (rave2n @ Apr 18, 2011 - 3:05 PM)  Sports car IMO Its real simple...my 2004 Taurus liability only was 32 monthly. My 94 7afe Celica ST liability is 46 monthly. Same insurance, same coverage. Thus sports car. LOL this is such failed logic. I have an 06 Speed6 (not a sports car) and quoted an 06 350z (undoubtedly sports car) and it was the exact same numbers. I did the same thing with a 1998 Celica GT. My bodily injury liability went down $1.60 and property damage went up $2.70.

Well considering on the phone when I spoke to them about the increase their statement was "Well the Celica is in a sports category, where as the taurus is not" Try explaining that failed logic to all insurance companies and see how far you get...I bet you'll still pay in a sports category, regardless of my "failed logic" Did you also happen to consider that one vehicle may have more safety features than the other which in turn lowers the insurance costs? That damn failed logic and its broad spectrum can really heat up a debate. |
