My $14K, 2014 Caprice is the most expensive car for me to insure and it is also my oldest car. Other than my Mini Cooper, the average cost of my other cars is over $85K! I asked my insurance agent to look into it. She reported that the VIN for the Caprice comes up as a fleet vehicle and has no ABS, no traction control, no airbags on record so after risk assessment, I'm paying out the butt.
I got a build sheet for GM showing that it has ABS, traction control and airbags and submitted it for their review and re-assessment. However my agent told me not to hold my breath on a reclassification of the car.

Re: Insurance question. Gray market car?
Insurance rates are an algorithm of how many accidents and how costly they were.
These are police cars.. get in tons of accidents and are expensive to repair. That’s why insurance on them is so expensive. Camaros are usually more to insure than corvettes because camaros are statistically in more accidents than corvettes. Which makes sense. Younger people wanting a fast car get a camaro because it’s cheap, younger men have a lot more accidents and pile on speed, creates a lot of wrecks with high costs. A ton of corvettes hardly ever get driven so they aren’t involved in accidents.
