I have liability insurance on all my vehicles, and the homeowner's insurance
has a million dollar liability limit, or something like that. I was talking
about the value of the vehicles, "collision", "comprehensive", etc. Unless
you buy a new car every two years, that sort of coverage is probably more
expensive than it is worth. Although my Jeep, for example, is worth a lot
to me, I doubt an insurance company would give me even $5,000 for it. The
Suburban? Don't make me laugh! Why would I pay more than the value of a
vehicle, over years, just so an insurance company can offer to settle for
pennies on the dollar? The house is a different story. If it burned to the
ground, I would stand to pocket a half million, the way real estate is in
Silverton now. Liability is a different story too, but liability insurance,
unless you're a surgeon, is a lot cheaper than vehicle collision repair
insurance.

This fellow with the '97 Cherokee is a perfect example of what could happen,
if you tried to insure something that depreciated as fast as a motor
vehicle. That $6,000 his insurance company offered him, is not going to go
far towards replacing a vehicle that he considers worth a lot more. He
would have been better putting the premiums into a bank account or Philip
Morris stock.

Hi Earle,
I dropped collision, comprehensive, too:

I save all reicepts, as a friend was forced to present, when his
'73 El Camino was stolen, his insurance finally came up from junk value
to about half what he had in it, at about ten grand.

Bill,

I paid $25,000 out of pocket for a hip replacement last year, but over time
I still pay less than my retired neighbors who insist on "full" medical
coverage. This year I shopped around and reduced that deductible to
$10,000. If my wife sticks with that nursing job she just got, we can
reduce that to $4,000, per person. Many people flinch at the thought of
$25,000, $10,000 or even $4,000 for a deductible, but when you compare that
with the cost of premiums that you or your employer are paying, then it is
not so much.
