Hey Patton, (again)
Left this out of the last post; normally the insurance broker will
have a list of qualified appraisers in the area. In my case the list
had my local lbc garage as one of the qualifiers. The $6000 figure
was based upon what I have "invested" in the car and the cost to
replace it should I total it. I believe I pay about $400/yr for this
coverage which includes liability coverage etc. I've had a perfectly
clean driving record for over 19 years, so your premium may vary. ;-)
Good luck,
