Try American Hobbyist at www.AmericanHobbyist.com. They provided me a quote for my 2001 VX as follows:

Liability 50/100/25,000
PIP 250,000
Uninsured 15/30/10,000
Road Guard $100.00 - towing, hotel, locksmith etc.
Comprehensive/Collision/Spare Parts - deductible $500

Total Annual Premium $310
Requested Value $18,000

Hope this helps.

from American Hobbyist page under qualifications:

Unlike some of our competitors, American Hobbyist allows you to enjoy driving your collector vehicle without worrying about strict mileage limitations*. As long as you use your regular car(s) for everyday driving and your collector vehicle on a limited basis (e.g., pleasure rides, hobby activities, exhibitions, etc.), you will be well-protected by American Hobbyist.

Leaves me out, I love driving my VX, plus it is my daily driver

Hey 99 I just had mine fixed(Deer suicide).I was told the parts were on national backorder 3-4 months+.But they showed up after two weeks.The shop gave Merlin a call,I am not sure if that was the reason the parts came so fast.Also that estimate seems kinda low? Have you tried another bodyshop?or call Isuzu yourself? Good Luck Tony B

Isn't every drive in the VX a "pleasure ride"? So I guess your covered!

Unfortunetly this will become more of a problem. If they can't get new parts you may have no choice but to use used parts.

Also even if you had rental car coverage with your insurance, that will usually only cover the first 30 days. The person's insurance who hit you, should be held responsible for lost usage.

Otherwise if the time out of service and cost of repair near the value of the vehicle, then the only other option would be to consider the vehicle totaled and purchase the vehicle from you for it's fair market value.
