ICBC Collector vehicles Hey guys Just read about it. Anyone under this? What kind of car would qualify? Seems interesting. Want to get one. Any suggestions? |

Here's some info I got from ICBC's website Quote:

Alright. Are there any good sites for local used cars other than craigslist? I personally do not know any 25 years old or older cars that would be good... suggestions? |
don't even think about getting a 25year old car just so you can get collectors plates to drive around on cheap insurance. the collectors plates are meant to be used for 'show and shine' type of vehicles, on weekends and with low KMs per year. If you get busted daily driving a car with collectors plates, you may not be covered if it gets in an accident. |
IMO I'd only get collector plates if I owned a car that I really wanted and qualified for it and if I remember correctly you need to have another car insured with regular plates/insurance |

maximum of once to twice a week. That's why I thought about this. There's 2 cars currently under regular insurance right now |
I'm on my second collector plated motorcycle/scooter. First one was a 1974 Vespa 90. Now my second one is a 1979 Yamaha SR500. I tried to get my 1978 Alfa Romeo Spider collector plated but before I could do the necessary modifications, a private collector bought it from me. Listen to what Rich Sandor said. Do not get one just to simply get around with cheap insurance. Collector plated vehicles/motorcycles/scooters are not meant for that purpose. They are simply to preserve the integrity of the vehicle, as-is. And like he mentioned, if something happens to it and heaven forbid anything does happen to it - no amount of lubrication of any sort can save your ass from the raping-to-be you'll receive from ICBC. Unless it is within your intention to simply have a collector of a specific vehicle you personally have an affection for, be it American muscle, classic Japanese, or rustic Italians, go for it. You have to remember - owning a third vehicle (or collector in this case) is fundamentally an extra expense. Otherwise, I suggest saving your pennies to compensate for the rising cost of gas this summer. |
As long as it is for pleasure use then it is fine. Remember things like stock radio etc counts.. accessories must be period correct.. eg no CD players in a 70s vehicle. The process is straight forward and you only need to Aircare once. Quote:

The application process is pretty lengthy. I was going to try and get my Volvo's under them but it's a pain in the ass, that and you can't mod them. |
Has to be all stock. And with collector plates you can drive it as much as you want......but you cant drive it to get grocerys etc. Its purely meant for driving around or going to a show and shine. |
You got it confused with Vintage Vehicle ICBC | Vintage vehicles With collectors you CANNOT drive to work/school but for PLEASURE use only; so you cannot "drive it as much as you want".. ie you can go get groceries as long as you don't work at the grocery store as a grocer. You can mod it as long as it is period correct. Quote:

Spoiler! |
One of my friends have a AMC Spirit on Collector's plate.. as long as the car is straight and true, well kept and have a decent set of picture taken.. the Collector's plate is actually quite easy to get. Quote:

yeah that makes sense...how many AMCs are left in vancouver? yet I still see a visible amount of 80's volvo...few in conditions that are worthy of a CP |

^ So you can "pleasurely" drive your car around the word for 365 days....but you're not allowed to stop by McDonalds or Safeway to grab food? :fulloffuck: |
lol what the |
^ No you can go anywhere you want and drive as much as you want if it's for personal use as long as it's not to work or school or for commercial use. My dad has 2 cars with collector plates, but you have to have another car as a daily driver with regular insurance. |
yes theres 2 cars with regular insurance started the thread hoping to get some insights as what current collectors are driving |

It's not like you work there, why the hell can't shopping fall under "pleasure"?? |

You'll also see some Porsche 911SC/Carerras, Alfa Romeo Spiders, Triumph and MGs rolling around with them as well. There was a Revscene member who had a DA chassis Acura Integra GS-R with the B17A engine which qualified for Collectors but those are hard to come by. I recall Tapioca mentioning that he has one but is a daily driver. |
"at least 15 years old, with no vehicles of any kind built by its manufacturer for at least five years." Eagle Talon anyone? or would the mitsubishi/chrysler family take that away? |
Quote:
The DSM family would disqualify it. |

would be nice! |
