Assuming you have an appraisal, which they are going to demand, what did they value your car at?

That is basically what I have on my GTZ.
Nice part is I get to write the appraisal, as I am not on Title, and I am a Licensed Appraiser.
They aren't all that happy about the California Registration and plates, but it is legal, the car is registered "by Title" by my Step Daughter in Santa Monica, California, and lives here in Ontario, Canada.
Same stupid law that allows all U-Haul trucks here in Canada to have Arizona or Nevada "Permanent Plates".
Get a good Broker. They will find you the coverage you require.

I don't have an appraisal. The broker I contacted reached out to JC Taylor and said they would write a policy for it - gave the broker all the pertinent info, sans appraisal, and am waiting on the quote which should be ready tomorrow or Wednesday. If he comes back and asks for an appraisal, I'll get one..I can't imagine it would be more than $4-5k though..
Just waiting on the broker now..we'll see what happens..
