thanks for indulging me and my brainstorming I really appreciate it.... here in bama the insurance is based on the book value (I think), because before I added my son to my policy the total insurance for the two cars I have was about 1200/yr. So the insurance is cheap...
You bring up the issues I am most concerned about... there is no guarantee that a C5 or C6 is set up like it should be, and the ones that are guys are asking top dollar.... so for the money, it's safer for me to build what I have since I know the car. I also like the idea of having a sleeper..... lol
my pleasure! These kinds of discussions are very valuable, because they help everyone who is in this debate.
All auto insurance is based, at some point, on a cars book value. Other states allow credit ratings to come into play, too. Get your son to bring his grades up! State Farm offers 25% discounts for good grades! My wife and I pay about $1500 a year for 2 cars, our rental ins, personal property (2 laptops and my Rolex) and my life insurance. All with State Farm.
My concern is with registration cost. My 92 is cheap here in CA the registration is based on the book value of the car. Mine is about 80.00 a year. But a new Vette can be $500.00+ a year!
