Re: [MBZ] [Banned_misfits] 240D RIP
I've found that the SF agent is critical - there are good ones and bad ones, and it does seem to make a difference. We've been customers for more years than I care to remember, with one agency going through three owners due to deaths - that last one was worthless, so we moved to another one and have been happy with them.

If the company insuring the van is State farm, they will claim it is not their fault, that she backed into him. YOU pay! BTDT At 11:45 AM 1/24/2006, you wrote: Glad she's ok.

BTDT I've heard so many stories about State Farm that I'll never be a customer of theirs again.

State Farm initially said they wouldn't pay for the woman's medical expenses because the collision was intentional and therefore not an accident. They backed down after a couple weeks of bad PR.
Re: [MBZ] [Banned_misfits] 240D RIP
Glad to hear she's ok. While your car may be a loss now, I think it's made her a believer in MB quality (at least before 1995) such that you can buy these old cars and not hear too much protest.

Re: [MBZ] [Banned_misfits] 240D RIP
I used State Farm for the first 12 years of my driving record. Last summer they had the gall to send me a letter requiring $35 for each of my 2 cars or the policy would lapse. I called and asked about this, and the reason was because I had been rerated as a youthful driver at 26y10m of age. They sent me a $140 check for my 25th birthday, and now they wanted half of it back. I asked why, I have been with the company for the first 12 years of my driving, with NO accidents and only ONE ticket. WTF, is this how corperate America treats loyal good customers? It so happened that I received an offer for a quote from AIG (through a fraternal church group) on the very same day that SF sent the request for more 's. I called them up and was quoted $140 LESS than my raised/new premium's would be with SF. So, I called my SF agent to see if there was anything he could do, he said no, and I told him where he could shove the $70 and other premiums, where the sun don't shine. F'in SF!
