Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 12, 1997, Winnipeg, Manitoba Hot cars costly Toronto up a time is running out for canadians who own cars that Are sporty theft prone and More costly to fix after accidents. Almost gone Are the Days when these Drivers could find an insurer that can tolerate the High risks of their hot cars. Drivers even those with Clear records will increasingly pay extra for insurance if their vehicle has a bad Accident or theft record. A new rating system probably the most clinical and unforgiving in the world has swept the land in the past three years. Government run insurers in Manitoba and British Columbia have moved to Clear a the Canadian iriss experience automobile rating system. Saskatchewan will soon follow suit. By Early next year nearly 85 per cent of rates in Ontario will be set using the new system according to a Survey by the originators of Clear the vehicle information Centre of Canada. While Clear has Only squeezed into to per cent of the Quebec and Atlantic markets and 19 per cent of Alberta that wont last Long. Ontario regulators prevented insurers from immediately jacking up rates on the worst vehicles As much As Clear indicated they should. Some companies even hesitated to raise rates by the permissible 35 per cent. But their trepidation is waning say Industry insiders. They re starting to worry about getting stuck with too Many bad risks. An Ottawa area commuter with a clean record would pay $1,275.75 with provincial sales tax to insure a 1995 four door Subaru legacy. But the same Driver would pay $1,786.15 if he or she took a trip on the wild Side and bought a two door Honda prelude of the same Vintage. That a a difference of about $4,000 Over eight years of ownership. Many people paying nearly $30,000 for such a car might not care. But Dealership staff say Consumers do take note of the Clear effect if not the extra potential risk of being injured or robbed.
