Symbol ratings: That's the killer Posted by Ken [Email] (#2113) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ken) on Tue, 8 Mar 2005 07:58:12 In Reply to: Insurance questions, Chadwick [Profile/Gallery] , Sun, 6 Mar 2005 09:31:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Here in Michigan (and I assume all over) the insured car gets a symbol that some actuarial decided on that reflects the likelihood of accident damage and projected repair costs. My wife's turbo beetle has a symbol 13 because it's a turbo. My former Honda Accord's symbol escapes my memory but it's way lower than the Beetle.
Along comes my 94 turbo cvt and it gets a symbol 26! And to add insult to it all, Michigan charges for plates based on the original MSRP! So yearly plates cost $156.00! Not cheap cars. Weren't when they were new and they ain't now.
And it's not the car's fault.
