Hi all,
I thought I would post a follow up since good customer service has become t=
he exception not the rule in this day and age.
As I had said a while back, the Phoenix Insurance company recommended by a =
Roadster owner said they don't write in WI. But the guy I dealt with at tha=
t company recommended Berkeley Classic Insurance. I did their online quote =
process for both the Roadster and Jeep, got great quotes for the values tha=
t I picked and then filled out the application. The application was quickl=
y accepted and I now have an agreed upon amount of coverage for both vehicl=
es for under $300 annually. I've not yet read the fine print but so far the=
whole process has been great.
Hagerty and Grundy can get stuffed

Subject: [Shop-talk] Classic car insurance tangents
I didn't want to hijack the original thread.....
First a question: How was your vehicle's value decided? I am especially int=
erested in hearing from the Datsun Roadster guys (and any of you who might =
have a FSJ; Full Size Jeep). A local Roadster owner was rear ended last yea=
r. It was a very slow hit but the repair estimate was well over what his co=
verage was. He has either grundy or hagerty. I do not remember.
I am ready to switch the Jeep (71 Gladiator fully restored and lifted, etc =
etc.) and my 70 Roadster to classic insurance but want to make sure they ar=
e insured for what it would cost to fix them if the worst happened.
Second, a knock on grundy: I looked into them when I got my Dad's Roadster.=
At that time both of my daughters were in high school; one of which had he=
r license, and the wife and I both had clean driving records. Well, because=
my daughter didn't have her own car, grundy denied me coverage stating "th=
e teen driver might take the Roadster for a drive because she didn't have h=
er own car". (<-----this is almost verbatim) It didn't matter that the chil=
d didn't know how to drive a manual or that fact that she wasn't allowed to=
drive it. I have good kids and it would never have been an issue when they=
were still at home.
so, take the grundy feedback any way you want. I was not happy with how I w=
as treated.
I hope to hear about the first bit from any and all of you.
Thanks
tim
