I am also in touch with a canadian owner who supposedly will sell me his 2012 /1000kms total with a bunch of goodies already on for about $7500 US but as of yesterday no response,
we will see

Seems a good price to me and the 2012 IS the best model year!

Keep trying, lots of reasons you can't get to him right now. Maybe he left on holidays. But the price sounds right. When I was in Florida i saw a 06 for$ 3500.00. It had 30 thou miles. If I had money I would have bought it.

Shame about the ****ed insurance! We never know what we are paying for, until we try to use it!

bridgestone exedra max in the rear avon azzaro in the front.
front and back suspension by wilbers.and that was not covered by insurance

That just seems wrong. Is it possible to get upgraded insurance to cover your modifications. Might be something I need to look into for myself.

I don't know anything about Canada, and little more about most states. That said, in some states, insurers offer "Stated Value" policies -- effectively a version of this is what "car replacement" policies are.

The companies that offer this look at the risk factors, multiply that times the stated value, and out pops the six-month premium.

This is most often used by collectors where the covered vehicle has long disappeared from the standard depreciation chart, or, as with some of the exotics, depreciation is not applicable.

I would wager you can get the insurance, and it's a matter of the assessment of value.
