I need to know cause I have geico on my old car and want to add teh scion before it gets to the dealer cause I dont wanna buy the car and then have to wait for the papers to get to me the next day or something. Is it possible my salesman has the VIN # before it arrives there?? Help...

my dealership was able to get me the vin number when it hit the port in portland. request a vin number from your dealership.

i called my insurance on the spot at the dealership during the paperworks.

yes, wait until you go pick up the car, It os pointless to insured a car you are not even driving just yet.

Geico is normally pretty good, the paperwork would take about 5 minutes and they'll fax an id card to the dealer.

Its weird. today i called with MY tc's vin number and the quotes were coming about about 50 bucks more than a vin number i gave them of a tc that was in a dealer. Why is that. That sucks. they are the same model number and everything. WHy is MINE more expensive..helppppp

does the vin # work like a shipping trace code?

are the specs the same for both cars?? (side air bags, security system????)

litobirdy

they are the same.. both stock. nothing custom

being a new car, the insurance companies will modify the reates when the start to get claims and realize the damage / costs....
how is your driving record, maybe they found something there too.

If you (or your parents) already have car insurance, most companies give you a 14- to 30-day grace period to sign up for insurance for a new car. Just don't forget to call them asap.
