Liberty Mutual didn't have that ability.
Put 2 claims in on my Audi Q7, OEM parts were used as well as a factory authorized Audi repair facility. Never had experience using claim for P car, but wouldn't think it is NOT a problem considering my Audi repairs.

Oh man, just called Geico. Cheapest rate so far. $184/month.

I'm sure it'll be different prices once I get a VIN and the car shows up in May. But I've got a good idea now. Geico, Amica, Farmers are the top three.

I insure cars in CA (San Jose) and WA (Bainbridge Island) and about the same. Own my home, no tickets, 1 hit and run last year and 53years old.
Per year $100/$500 deductibles
AMG 2015 E63s wagon San Jose = $1932 <<<>>>> AMG 2016 E63s wagon Bainbridge Island= $1816
AMG 2017 GTs San Jose = $1916 <<<>>>> Porsche 2015 GT3 Have not paid yet but quoted around $1900

For me Geico wouldn't insure a car over $150K. Also they don't have the GT3 model in their database and when I did it by VIN it came up as "911 Carrera GT3" with a value of $91K

That's strange. I didn't do it online. I called. And they had the car in their database and I confirmed the purchase price and confirmed they cover a $200K car.

What state are you in? It goes by state.

Just called again since this made me nervous and they confirmed they would cover over $150K to market value

I'm in NY

Yeah, cash/market value. Nobody does actual "agreed value" except those specialty companies like Hagerty and Grundy and classic car companies. And you need to have a dedicated daily driver on a separate policy to be eligible, which I don't. I live in a city so I walk everywhere. The GT3 is a weekend fun car. So I have to stick to the regular insurance companies.

First, Congratulations on your GT3!

From what I've gathered, in NJ, when I've reached out to Statefarm, Progressive, Geico, Farmers, and Plymoth Rock and only Geico and Farmers were willing to cover GT3.

by market value, do they mean that low "kbb" value or actual trading value of gt3?

Solid question I asked the same thing. They said they take into mind "replacement and market value". I asked for it in writing and will report back if anything interesting.

Most likely some super low KBB value the adjuster looks up. Every time I asked the person on the phone giving me a quote, they would say it's something you have to argue with adjuster about.
