GETTING OLD IS FINALLY PAYING OFF! At least, I assume that's what kicked it down since I didn't change my policy at all.

Seriously, my policy renewal is up in January, and it auto-renews and sends me a new billing schedule email: $20 LESS PER MONTH!

Lucky bastard, having low rates. 20$/month would be a drop in the bucket on my policy.

I'm 30, for the last 7 years I drove a 2008 Lancer, insurance costs ranged from 200-250 a month. No speeding tickets the last several years but there was an accident on my record about 4 years ago. Bought a new Focus ST in June and switched to Allstate. I'm paying $70 a month. I feel like I may have been getting screwed with the Lancer...

How old are you and what do you drive?

I've been doing insurance on my own since 21, and it was never more than $120 a month, always on new cars.

Yeah. I'm paying 6000/yr with a huge collision deductable, no comp. That said, I do have one ticket (minor) that will be coming off before renewal. That also said, pickups are the cheapest insurance. Insurance is a fucking scam up here. Next renewal should be down a long way though (21 + basic coverage).

nice job!

With my speed 3 and Miata, I pay the princely sum of $57.67 a month. That's full coverage, I'm 27.

If I added a second car it would go down another 10 or so last I checked, and increasing the deductible would bring it down another 10 or so on top of that.

What I'm saying is if everything works out and I get a Corvette next year, my insurance will be cheap .

Makes absolutely sense! I love how I am missing out on some savings because the Miata lacks abs.

You were likely getting screwed on the Lancer because of the market segment who buys a lancer is teens-early 20 year olds who cause accidents.
