Holy hell, insurance quotes after the jump.
Here is the quotes:
Your current Crossfire is $980 per 6 months
2008 Nissan 350Z is $2140.00 per 6 months
2008 Mazda MX5 Miata $1096.00 per 6 months
1999 Lexus SC300 is $1266.00 per 6 months.
Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!
Well I guess this is why you ask first. That rules out the Z, I suppose.
*Also before anyone says I’m getting ripped off, I live in Michigan which is the worst state in the country and have a bad record.

From my understanding it’s that your insurance pays for any injuries the other parties in an accident receive regardless of who is at fault. It’s supposed to reduce cost by eliminating the need to argue over who’s fault it was but instead rates just go up because your insurance’ expected payout in an accident is higher than if they could pay based on fault.

I’m not sure if this is the real number or if he is pulling my leg a bit but everytime it comes up my dad claims it costs him $400 a month to insure me on my Mini. (20 year old male with no tickets on record but with 1 accident where I was rear ended) That number sounds a bit ludacris to me even for a young male in a car with a sporty variant.

Yea my SC400 was cheaper IIRC. I suspect its because I gave her a 1991 JDM Soarer vin and also gave her a SC300 VIN as a back up. She was probably just playing it safe by telling me a more expensive one.
I’m assuming the Miata is higher because of the no roll over protection. More likely to get injured?

They don’t, we have a points system here (you have 27 points in year, every ticket you lose a certain number of points until you lose your license. After a year you get a clean slate and get back to 27 points). The insurance company can’t use your tickets against you, only your driver profile.

I learned this when driving in Italy. Everyone went around 150 or more (km/hr) on the autostrade and would just slow down momentarily for the clearly marked speed cameras. Was a lot more relaxing that way!

Heh. I’m sure I’ve spent more on insurance than on the car itself (if you leave fuel out of the equation). The only claim I’ve made has been for one lousy windshield. Too bad insurance isn’t considered “paid in full” after a certain point.

Soooo, that answers part of that. Another question is, why did you not fight to have those tickets reduced to non moving violations? Lawyers typically cost much less than what you will pay to your insurance company for 3 years after a speeding ticket. If you don’t know, now you do.
I once had 8 points on my license. When I received my next ticket, I hired a lawyer before they took my license. While it cost more, what I saved in insurance more than made up for the cost of the lawyer + ticket.
