How do insurance companies define sports cars?
By: How do insurance companies define sports cars?
Here are opinions and answers from FAQ Farmers:
- I think it all depends on the company. For instance, I drive a '94 T-Bird. Some companies say it's a sports car (with the V6? Yeah right), some luxury (almost passes as that), and some just as a plain old car.
- I asked my insurance agent this very question. It depends how on the replacement cost of the auto and location.
- They usually go by horsepower, stock and aftermarket modifications (i.e. turbo or superchargers), etc. They will usually know if you have a sportscar or not. You can also have a car classified as rare or collectable that you think might be a sportscar.
- A key point here is TWO DOORS. If a car has two doors its almost always classified as a sports car no matter what. Also if the car is equipped with a manual transmission its also most likely a sports car.
- I have a Firebird, 2 doors, manual and it's still not considered a sports car.
- I have a 2 door 2004 Dodge Stratus SXT that is only a 4-cylinder but rated a 19 which is a sports car rating with high premiums.
