Geico MBI + FR-S = no dice
 
I just got off the phone with Geico asking them about MBI (mechanical breakdown insurance) because I was interested in it as a safety net for dealer-related shenanigans. Turns out they don't cover "my sort of car" (read: sports cars) under MBI, even though I was able to go through the process of requesting a quote online. :cry:

Has anyone been told otherwise? Geico is usually excellent to work with so I was surprised. Do any other insurance companies provide something comparable AND actually cover an 86?

I got my loan through my credit union and according to their website offer it, but that was the only thing they didn't try to upsell me on for additional products with my loan. Maybe there's something to this.

TRD-X, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I'm thinking they may have declined to give me coverage because I'm 25. I've heard that insurance rates in general go down when you get past that milestone, so maybe they won't give MBI to "kids in sports cars" because we're gonna do something stupid and break our toys.

have seen it offered on mine, had avoided adding since it said i had till 15 months/15k miles where it would be addable,

i'll add now and see what happens


Edit:

added fine will see if they reject it down the road.
