Now that the 300sd is 30, are there any companied that will cover these as antiques? The odometer never moves, if you know what I mean.

I really don't use it a lot, just like having it. I have pretty decent limits, but state farm wants 1500 a year!!

Hagerty offers classic car insurance at reasonable rates. I just did a sample quote on my 80 300SD with a value of $5k (not really worth this much) and 3k miles driven per year and got back a price of $163 per year.

many insurers have this option but you have to ask. when i last looked into it i think the requirement was driving under 2500 miles a year and i had to promise it would not be used for commuting - some terms like that. not dissimilar from getting a "historical" license plate as i recall.

State Farm insures my '68 Jeep as an antique for around $5 per month. You have to have an antique tag.

Thanks, everyone. I just got quote from Hagerty, $566.00 per year to cover 300sd at 5k, 1992 300eSportline at 10K and 54 Chev 3100 p.u. at 10K Yippee!!! 100/300 liability and UM, good coverage.

USAA: $38/ mo. That's $450 a year for my 300SDL.

CAI (classic Car Insurance) $157 year declared value $12,200 Full Coverage $0 Deductible on SDL. Good company sell you 1 year policies. They do make you send them pictures and you have to do an odometer statement yearly. Max miles I can drive is 5K - but its lucky if it gets 500
