Well I went to renew the insurance in my 05 GT and was told that I would not be able to. This is just becasue of the car, not me. I have not had an accident for over 15 years and have a good driving record (in the last 10 years). I sent a letter to the HOD (head of department) espressing my opinion of their discriminatory policy and asked for a personal phone call to explain it to me.
Man, I was mad. This is private insurance through my bank. They are an excellent insurance company that deals very well with its members (until now)
Anyone else had this happen? I was covered before because the car was so new that it wasn't in their computer system yet and I slipped through. (mid December)

go to www.kanetix.ca and find a better policy, then tell these guys to shove it

This topic scares me. My car should be delivered within the next couple of weeks and I haven't even called my current insurance company (AAA) for a quote. I know my rates will go up, but I guess it never crossed my mine that they may not cover me at all

When I got my 05 Mustang GT with side airbags and active anti theft my insurance price went down, then when I got Lojack it dropped again.
I'm paying around $1250 a year on my 05 Mustang GT

Anyway, you should have no problem with AAA.

Sorry to hear that :notnice: ... I hope this doesn't become a trend down here (in the U. S.). That is pretty much what killed the muscle car the first time around (and high gas prices).

I called my insurance agent as soon as I entertained the idea of getting a Mustang. He told me my insurance rate would go up by $21 per month. I automatically rationalized: "Hey, that's only 70 cents a day. What a bargain!" ![Thumb](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/thumb.gif)
The cost was not much of a factor in my decision, thankfully. However, I would have certainly taken issue if they refused to renew me or offer me a policy. Time to shop around! I'm sure you'll find a company willing to take your money! Do what another poster recommended: call Progressive or check them out online.

This is my first 'high-risk' vehicle and they said no problem.
I've been with Erie for 12 years now. I've done a lot of shopping
around and nobody can even come close.

State farm has been my best quote also. I have been no quoted by Allstate and a few others for "high risk" vehicles. They have also done the same on my snowbobiles. I guess I can understand it to a point. They are trying to minimize their risk. But at the same time they are in the accident business and life is a risk. I have used progressive in the past on my motorcycles and boats and they were decent at first but when renewal would come up they always jacked the price.
