Insurance Costs?

over a barrel

This question brings back bad memories when I got my i3. I was one of the first in my area to get an i3 when they came out. Insurance company was completely clueless. I'd say that the car was out about 4 months or so when I got it but I was obviously the first guy to get one with my brand of insurance. They just didn't have any idea where to price the insurance at, but when they learned it was a ton of carbon fiber and aluminum, up the price went. So I paid kinda high insurance for quite awhile. :crying: In fact when the lease was getting near done, I elected to not get another for the only reason of high insurance. I spoke to my insurance gal who is ultra awesome and explained why I was getting rid of the car and she called the insurance company and ripped 'em a new one after explaining to them that I insure 4 other cars through them and they're reaming me on my goin' green i3. I get a call the next day and my i3 insurance dropped by about a third, and it was a good deal. I decided then to get another i3 with more features.



I feel like this is going to happen again until the insurance companies figure it out after whatever they do to get a clue, and maybe a few actual repair bills. This is one reason why personally I think I'm going to wait on the decision to get rid of my i3 and XK for an IPace until they get stock, the price possibly more of a negotiable thing and the insurance figured out. Also, I still can't decide whether an IPace looks sexy enough to top my XK, but that's just me.
