[DML] Re: bad news....



Dan...........

Yeah, I know several people that got a normal "DeLorean" policy thourgh
State Farm. It must go by local offices because those folks are in here in
southern IL near St. Louis with me. It can be regional because all the
offices here report to the Bloomington, IL location.

When I first went to insure it they said the DeLorean was on the "Do NOT
Insure" list (along w/ Bricklin, Detomaso, and a few other cars I was
looking for at that time). I then talked to someone who was on the Classic
Car policy and called SF back. I had to coax them into letting me put the
DMC on it. I suppose they knew that if they didn't I was going to take the
6 other cars over to a new company so I wouldn't have to pay a second set of
premiums.

In the mean time I've talked to a few more D. owners that are on the Classic
Car policy and DON'T have a mileage limits. Looks like I just got the wrong
office to insure my DMC. Glad to hear you found the right on though! :))

I don't know about that, I have state farm and I had no problems insuring my
D as a regular car with full coverage. An my rates are pretty reasonable
too.
