View Full Version : whats is the xb considered? CBSIMONSEZ 01-09-2004, 12:55 AM i believe under my insurance, and also through a couple of rep. car mags, it is considered a wagon. This should help with the auto insurance. Distracted_Mind 01-09-2004, 12:57 AM Thanks. That was one of my main questions. Docsnuff 01-09-2004, 12:57 AM Actually I believe it says wagon on the window sticker also.... Doc Distracted_Mind 01-09-2004, 12:58 AM I dont think the one they let me drive had the sticker on it. This one the dealer had all deckd out rims, paint, stereo. Clean :lol: SPAWN 01-09-2004, 01:07 AM most places call it a MICRO VAN ghost 01-09-2004, 01:11 AM It's a wagon. Direct competition would be the Honda Element, PT Cruiser, etc. Andrew proto_k7 01-09-2004, 01:23 AM They consider the scion a SUV- at least my insurance does, I have mercury- Distracted_Mind 01-09-2004, 02:02 AM Isnt a suv extra expensive on insurance especially compared to a wagon ghost 01-09-2004, 02:09 AM Yes, the insurance on SUV's is more expensive for many reasons: 1) The idiotic owners get them in 4WD, which they have no idea how to use. 4WD costs more for insurance companies to cover. 2) They can't see out of the tanks, and run over and hit random stuff. 3) Something that is that big will damage another car more than a compact would. I have a hatred of Large SUV's and SUV owners. :) Andrew obz 01-09-2004, 02:10 AM They told me wagon too. I'm through GEICO. Inazuma 01-09-2004, 03:26 PM hmmm i just looked at my Mercury amended insurance claim. It says Utility 4x2 4dr. I will call them today and complain. It is a wagon and NOT an SUV. I also have a Durango SUV and the insurance is about the same. NOT FAIR! Sid_xBicious 01-09-2004, 04:30 PM yeah its a wagon. even my montero sport(2WD) was considered a wagon. but if i had it on 4X4, then they will consider that as SUV= high insurance. sid Pablo_xB 01-09-2004, 04:35 PM How is it in the same category as the Element whern the element is like 4 times bigger?! :shock: DibujoB 01-09-2004, 04:43 PM USAA considered it a "compact wagon!" My insurance went down a ton! HotBox 01-09-2004, 05:13 PM i thought of it more along the lines of microvan compact van and compact wagon just see which one if the least and pick that for your insurance Inazuma 01-09-2004, 05:46 PM USAA considered it a "compact wagon!" My insurance went down a ton! What is USAA? is that an insurance company? I just called my broker for MERCURY. They said its a Utility. They just input the VIN and the car name. mercury categorizes it as a Utility automatically and there is nothing i can do. I called over to Longo Scion. Verone was not there till 2pm. The other Scion rep said they consider it as a 5-door hatchback. So i called Torrance Scion where i purchased mine. They said it is considered a sedan. What the heck! :shock: we need to get Verone to this thread to please confirm. Also to see what we can do about the insurance companies to all be in sync. Anyone else with Mercury and can look at their policy if it says Utility? I want to see if we can do anything about it. What is the Avalanche considered? a Truck or an SUV? or does it depend on what you change it to? :roll: Docsnuff 01-09-2004, 06:10 PM USAA is an insurance company that specializes in insurance for military members... Doc showpaojoe 01-09-2004, 06:40 PM its an SUV according to the car wash. $2 extra my sweet ___ HotBox 01-09-2004, 06:44 PM its an SUV according to the car wash. $2 extra my sweet ___ LOL Kikaida 01-09-2004, 06:48 PM Farmers didn't even have it in the system yet, but they consider it a wagon. $2 extra??? That sucks! Inazuma 01-09-2004, 07:02 PM its an SUV according to the car wash. $2 extra my sweet ___ $2 extra?? I thought it goes by the size generally the SUV are large cars that is why the $2 extra. When i take my Durango it is considered a midsize $1 extra. My friend's Tahoe is $2 extra. the xB is so tiny, its the easiest car to dry. For God's sake the hood is half the size of any other car. Go to another car wash and see if they charge the extra $2. I think the whole world is confused of our ALIEN CAR :lol: eric_m 01-09-2004, 07:20 PM scion is a 5 door wagon. unibody chassis, under 2500 pounds, etc. the honda element is a truck based SUV because of it's weight and frame. totally different cars. i don't know how they keep getting compared to each other. the G500 has more in common with the scion than the element does. except for price, of course. oj411 01-09-2004, 07:26 PM On my insurance it says wagon also I go through progressive and when I registered it at the county clerks office they asked me what it was and I said a wagon SPAWN 01-09-2004, 08:27 PM USAA is an insurance company that specializes in insurance for military members...

BlueBox 01-09-2004, 11:55 PM They consider the scion a SUV- at least my insurance does, I have mercury- Interesting.. i have Mercury too...and they consider it a 5 dr wagon... Inazuma 01-10-2004, 03:42 AM They consider the scion a SUV- at least my insurance does, I have mercury- Interesting.. i have Mercury too...and they consider it a 5 dr wagon... REALLY??? i have Mercury and my broker said the VIN# automatically makes it a UTILITY. THATS IT i am calling MERCURY main office on Monday.. Thanks for the feedback CBSIMONSEZ 01-30-2004, 11:33 PM Just thought i would pass this along.... I called my insurance company today to cancel my Accent and i just recieved my renewal info from the insurance company ( Liberty Mutual ). To insure my Accent with 2 points on my lisence, was $1045 annually. L.M. says that the xB is a UTILITY VEHICLE; thankfully not SUV, and my insurance went up 100 bucks to $1150. Under 96 bucks a month to insure my xB for a year, nice. :wink: mikochu 02-01-2004, 12:45 AM geico considers it a wagon... huzzah! plantz 02-02-2004, 01:15 AM ...the honda element is a truck based SUV because of it's weight and frame. totally different cars... The Honda Element, while much heavier than the xB, also has unit-body construction, not a truck style frame. -- Bob Docsnuff 02-02-2004, 03:14 AM ...the honda element is a truck based SUV because of it's weight and frame. totally different cars...
