Insurance problems

I have had no issues with USAA and I highly recommend them!

USAA told me they couldn't isure my 1009 since they had no record of the VIN being a real vehicle. GEICO, I had no problem with at all.

the most they should require is an onsite inspection from a trooper to verify the VIN. Take pictures and send them in, and ask to speak with the manager.

Most (all?) states reserve the authority to "assign" a vin number to a vehicle for various reasons, these are just sequential numbers, they don't fit a vin "system" in any way. All "vin validating" programs have a manual override. The trick is to get a person at the other end who is willing to get into a transaction that might well be manually entered from start to finish.

Just talked to USAA tonight, the guy had a little difficult cause the VIN didn't show up in their system. He found it on carfax as GOV/Postal. It took a little work and he had to manually input it into thier system, which took me having to give him alot of spec info. Also a bit of time on hold. Plus he had to check with his supervisor. I bet it all depends on who you get on the phone.

Great news... I was traveling for business for a few days, and my new insurance card for the CUCV was waiting when I got home! Apparently I convinced them it was nothing special!
