Comparison Cost of Driving Our A's
 

I often wonder what it cost me versus other people in other states to have our Model A's on the road for one year. I sure would like to hear about discounts or anything you might like to add from your state.

Here are mine listed below:

Registration: I have a "Year of Manufacture Plate" on the car which cost me $50 per Year with limited driving allowed. NOTE: I pay that on my daily driver for TWO Years with no limits! What a deal......for the state.

Insurance: I have $16,000 agreed value, $500 deductible at $120 per year.

Inspection of Vehicle: This is done every year with present cost of $35.

I'll play;

Registration: License + YOM = $150/year

Insurance: $24,600 agreed value + Liability, Medical and Uninsured Motorist = $94/year.

Then the memberships to MARC & MAFCA...

Other than that, routine maintenance and any "improvements".

So many variables that it is impossible to compare! Daily driver, trailer queen, cross country drives. The results will have no meaning!

Lighten up Dude. Doesn't hurt and keeps us engaged. Not like Cape Codder was asking us for a recommendation.

I have mine registered as a standard car, so $60 for two years and insurance $343.
Don't remember the agreed value, think $20,000.
$35 for inspection per year plus minimum excise tax of $5.
