Boosting a finance mustang *?*

[CrwdKlr]

Who covers mods? This is news to me. Granted there are some niche insurance companies that cover kit cars, mods, and the such but I haven't heard of any national company cover anything more than what you bought at the dealership.

Ask your agent about an add on policy. I have one on mine, its like $20 a month thru Travelers, and if anything ever happens, everything I've done to the car is covered on top of the car itself. Cheap insurance in my book.

You guys can also check out agreed value insurance if your driving record is nice and clean. A lot of those kind of insurers are very picky. They dont really wanna insure a 100k build that someone wrecks next week street racing. Not to mention covering something that illiquid and expensive carries a lot of fraud risk. Pour $100k in a car and get offered $30k for it when you're down on your luck? May be tempting to have it get "stolen".

0% interest here as well. I say mod the hell out of it.

I got $5k of aftermarket equipment coverage through Progressive. Not too much extra cost for it.

Over $5k they will cover too, but then you have to Choose a "determined value" for your car in total, rather than what they calculate for the car plus mods. That got a little complicated for me and I didn't want to get into doing all that, so I stuck with $5k of coverage. I figure if I get hit in the front that should cover most of the blower and/or intercooler, if I get hit in the rear it should cover most of my sound system.

All major insurance companies will not cover "aftermarket performance mods". But from what I've read they will sometimes cover it when the accident occurs but then cancel your policy.

mines boosted and financed 0% tho

I saved up cash to pay for mine in full, and then took enough of that cash to pay for the Whipple and put the rest down on the car. So essentially I financed the Whipple at sub 2% because I found the car I was looking for and didn't want to wait any longer.

Yea man as long as you can afford to fix your own shot

Mine had 5000 miles on it when I put my Whipple on, yes it’s financed, have 15000 miles on it now and not a single regret or problem with the car, I hammer it too, but I don’t track the car it’s a daily driver.

My Mustang is financed but i got a really good rate. I used my Credit card to purchase my blower and then spent the rewards money from the blower purchase on my Jeep. Life is short and I'm a happy guy.

Boost it. Be prepared to pay to fix it if it breaks, but like stated above, if you go with a known good, safe setup you will most likely have no issues. Just be smart about it, don't abuse the setup and enjoy it. The fact is the Warranty goes away with boost, aside from the Warranty that the kit may offer/come with, although they have strings attached and usually only offer 1/2 of the original 5yr 60k OEM powertrain warranty, but it would be a little peace of mind if you want something to help you out if something bad does happen.

I bought my car about 5 months after getting my first job out of college, and needless to say I had to finance it. I saved up for about three months and installed the supercharger as soon as I could afford the kit and supporting mods to go with it. Best thing I ever did. Life is too short. If you can afford the monthly payments, afford the mods, and afford to fix it when it breaks (it will haha) then go for it! So many people spend their entire lives saving, but you can't use your money when your dead!

But you can die from not saving enough.
