My friend finally got the car he wanted—an Audi. It was old and had lots of miles on it, but it was in great shape. He had cheaper insurance rates before because he had a much older Nissan. After seeing the first quote for his premium, even that macho loud muffler kit did not excite him anymore. He had to find lower insurance rates if he was going to afford to even keep this car. He heard that in his part of Tempe, AZ there was also a high rate of theft, making auto insurance more expensive.
He found out that he could lower his chance of theft in Tempe and his premium for auto insurance if he got some kind of alarm. Quotes that he got for cheaper insurance rates proved that this was true, so he looked around for the different types of alarms available.
Low on cash, he thought he could just get a toggle switch. This is a cheap device that makes your key work only if you push a hidden button in your car. No one told him that this toggle switch doesn’t qualify you for lower auto insurance rates because it is not an actual alarm. In order to qualify for cheaper insurance rates, make sure you ask insurance agent if you have a real alarm first!
