SRSANDS Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hey guys, had my car for almost three years now and uop until recently never had to insure it because well it wasnt road worthy. Now that I am almost finished with it and its a road worthy beast I had to insure it. Our insurance company added it to the policy and it jacked it up almost a 100 dollars a month WTF!!!!! A 100 a month for basic liability on a 71 4dr econo box!!!????? Just out of curiosity not to be nosey but what are your rates for your Datsuns and who do you use because the wife is talking about pulling it off coverage on June 14th because of financial reasons.........no 510 for summer and I just got the bitch on the road!!!!!!!!!!!Help me out Quote Link to comment
damon Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I use Hagerty Classic car insurance. $124.00 a year. with an agreed value of $5000.00. I don't daily drive mine so it is licensed as a classic, so no licensing fees ever. Quote Link to comment
Blitz Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yeah, one of the things about Hagerty is that it can't be a daily driver and you have to show proof that you have another car (or something that I read on their site). I have some janky insurance and its about $72 a month just for liability on my Z. Edit: I'm sure the 510 would be at least a little cheaper since its a 4 door, etc Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I have coverage with State Farm. It is stated value insurance for $15K and it costs $72 every 6 months. You do need to have another car that is covered with them as a daily driver. Quote Link to comment
SRSANDS Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I thought about classic insurance but isnt there even limitations on the days your allowed to drive and stuff like only on sundays to and from car shopws and stuff...man I bet if I did drive it to work on a sunny friday and it got hit at works in the parking lot I woul be screwed Quote Link to comment
Nick Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 You should check with Mercury Insurance. Where I live, basic insurance with them shouldn't be more than $200 every 6 months. Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 33.00 a month full coverage with Geico. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 For someone that has had Datsuns insured in Washington, King County no less, that I a normal price. Even after I reached the cheapest age level (over 25 and no tickets) I couldn't get basic liability for any less than $75 a month for a beat up old Datsun of any sort. Its the same for newer cars though. Liability is the most expensive part of insurance. After that is collision and that depends widely on the value of the car. I still pay about $80/month for one Datsun, $150/month for two. Doesn't matter if its a 240Z or a Nissan Frontier. I never did go with classic car insurance or plates because want to haul things in my cars and drive them to work or the grocery store whenever I choose. If you have one box or item in your 'classic car' or 'classic truck' with those plates on it then you can get pulled over. They are not to be used for any sort of utility purpose.

2dat0z9 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I got fred loya insurance, they only charge me 9.75 a month for liability on my b210. my whole payment is 75 a month wiyh my daily driver Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 i pay 40 a month liability... Quote Link to comment
mike Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 USAA, its a little shy of 10 bucks a month on a multicar policy for any of my dattos. I think the 510 wagon was a bit cheaper than the 620 if that makes any sense... Im also 33 and havent had any sort of driving infraction in over 10 years. Ive been with my current insurer for that long also which seems to drop it more than anything else. When I was 21 I was paying damn near 400 a month for just liability through some no name place because nobody else would insure me. The most memorable ticket I ever got out of was when I asked a cop to give me a ticket for whatever bullshit reason he could find because then Id qualify for SR22 (the state insurance for dangerous drivers) and Id save 200 bucks a month.

SRSANDS Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Ha ha what did the cop say? I hae heard USAA being very reasonable with their rates for 510's, thats what Icehouse uses Quote Link to comment
errin Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 i use usaa. one thing with them is their costumer service is the best i have ever had. for my 510 its about 33 a month for liability plus uninsured driver coverage. im 26 havent got a ticket in almost 3 years, but i get quotes all the time for the free 10 dollar gift cars and subway sandwiches and stuff and i have not found a cheaper quote.

Any other Datto costs me the same. This is with max discount for everything too .... Quote Link to comment

Jesse C. Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I have not insured my 510 yet as it is not driveable, but, I was paying $65 a month for Liability and Uninsured Motorist on my Chevelle and that is with 21st Century. It is a bit cheaper if you pay it all at once. Quote Link to comment
