When purchasing insurance, the general public ask for “full coverage” without knowing what they’re asking for. What’s the problem? There is no such thing as “full coverage”. While understanding your coverage is crucial for everybody, it’s desperately critical if you are driving a Mercedes, BMW, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Porsche, Viper, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, or Aston Martin. 

If you’re driving a pricey, exotic or high-performance automobile, you will want to make certain that after an accident you receive OEM parts, OEM paint, the ability to correct your automobile at the vehicle body shop of your preference, and the quantity of money required for the repair. 

Repairing an expensive car with non-OEM parts and / or improper workmanship will end up in significant lessened worth. With expensive cars, even a proper repair will end up in lessened worth. What’s lessened value? It is the lowered market value the dropped valuation of a vehicle successive to repair. For example, a Porsche or Ferrari will be worth less after an accident, even after it has been properly repaired. For research on lessened worth, see http://www.hurt911.org/accident/car-accident-car-value.html You do not want to get into a debate with your insurance company to whether or not your vehicle can be repaired or should be totaled. Regularly , insurance companies will want to correct your vehicle, when you believe it should be totaled. If the insurance company agrees to total your car, most insurance policies only provide “actual money value” insurance coverage which would only give you with a payment based on this replacement value of your vehicle, less depreciation [ the decrease in the value of your car due to use, deterioration and the passage of time ]. 

In the event that an exotic or high-priced auto is totaled, the best replacement coverage is “agreed value” or “stated value”. The only insurance firms I have found to offer agreed value insurance are Chubb and MetLife. Chubb’s internet site states : “You and Chubb can agree on a price and lock it in for a full year. That is the precise amount you’ll receive if your auto’s robbed or totaled in a covered loss. Never mind the “book” worth. 

We even waive the deductible. No bartering, no depreciation, no deductible, no problem.” MetLife’s web site states: Equivalent New Automobile Replacement for Total Loss is offered for automobiles in the 1st year of purchase or the 1st fifteen thousand miles, whichever comes first. What’s the difference between Chubb’s “Agreed Worth Option” and MetLife’s “Equivalent New auto Replacement” coverage? For high-value cars, Chubb is certainly the wiser choice. Chubb offers its agreed value coverage each year and readjusts the concluded price on policy renewal. From what I have seen, the adjusted agreed value even years and over 100,000 miles later is substantially higher than actual value. In addition, on a different topic, Chubb also offers up to $1 million of underinsured coverage, which is also vitally important. Ensure you ask your Chubb agent for the maximum underinsured coverage. For average price new cars, MetLife is a good choice. MetLife does not offer its Equivalent New Automobile Replacement coverage after the first year or first 15,000 miles. For drivers of most new cars, this is still a good price because it is not uncommon for somebody to total their new auto soon after purchasing it. Usually, just driving a car out of the showroom can result in as much as $10,000 depreciation.

In this current day and age having your own transport is essential as public transport will only let you down. People just want to have the best cars around and they end up setting them back a huge amount.

But is it truly worth purchasing a new car these days? Let as have a look at why I just do not like this.
1.) The new car models have been manufactured not to last very long so you have to go out and buy a new one.
2.) Even if the cars were built to last people are spread out all over the country, so basically people cover a lot more miles than they used to in the old days.
3.) Service parts for a vehicle cost a fortune.

I remember when I first passed my test it was an amazing experience but I was driving a car built in 1985 and although this car had done a huge amount of miles, it never caused me any problems. Nowadays I purchase newer cars and they are forever causing me a life time of problems.

Alot of people like to buy vehicles on finance, but the problem is that as soon as they pay them off they end up breaking so they have to go back to the manufacturers and buy a new one.  So in my opinion car leasing is probably one of the best options you pay probably less than you would as a monthly rate for finance, then when your term is up you hand the car back and get a brand new one, plus avoiding all of the cost of repairs and break downs.

Great Mercedes car leasing or BMW car leasing.
