“But I remember that I paid a bit over $2000 per year for insurance. It was a total rip-off.’
My oldest two Grandkids, Both are in college, working, and paying their own way. But it is not enough to also pay their car insurance so parents have to chip in right now to help and on their own extended personal insurance. One costs 3,000 a year, and the other costs 2,500 a year. The difference is the car make, models, and years. Both have a clean driving record.
COST OF CAR INSURANCE TODAY HAS ONE CULPRIT:
UNINSURED DRIVERS.
INFLUX OF ILLEGALS HAS CAUSED THIS-—PERIOD.
Drive 1976 1 ton truck & 1979 Buick wagon.
Insurance on truck===48.8 % of total premium ==UNINSURED DRIVERS......39.7% of wagon premium ==Uninsured divers.
NO accidents. Have driven OVER 1 million miles.
Bought only 1 new car in my life-—1965 Pontiac wagon. Put OVER 444,000 miles on it in under 20 years.
I asked my insurance agent to check on which of our vehicles was the cheapest to insure for our daughters to drive.
He did and said, "you're not going to believe this, the Unimog."
So they learned how to drive in a 6 speed forward, 2 speeds reverse 404 Unimog.
The younger daughter also in a Series III Land Rover lightweight.
The insurance was only a few bucks more.
