We don't pay property tax for vehicles here in Texas, AFAIK. At least not
in this part of the state.
If you have a classic, and parts/labor are likely to be exorbitant, you
will
have to
get special insurance if you want "collision/comprehensive".
Cuhulin is not the owner of such a car.
The driver's record is an im****tant part of the equation, for liability..
In my case, my provider (Beacon) gave me a special deal if I would take
car
insurance and house insurance from them in a bundle.
AARP's Hartford had better car rates, perhaps, but refused to insure our
80 year old house as they feared electrical might not be up to standard
and
because we have a fireplace/chimney, even though it is not used.
Therefore, we went with Beacon as it was a better overall deal.
I did not even insure my 97' Dodge van for collision and comprehensive.
It is only worth maybe $3000-3500, and the insurance is beginning to be
prohibitive..
Cuhulin, if you want a good van, take a look at mine. It could be for
sale,
but I wont give it away.
