There ya go. New fancy cars = lots of insurance. Old perfectly fine cars like my '91 Camry, cost like $500 a YEAR for all the coverage needed. Only way I don't get any money is if I cause an accident, otherwise I get a new beater car 🙂

Oh man does that mean I can pay less when the car becomes old?

2004 Saturn Ion Redline, full coverage... $280/6 months. Insurance is more a function of your age, credit, marital status, and driving history.

I could raise my rates by at least 115% by switching to GEICO. They're expensive for good drivers.

i don't know about you, but geico is cheaper than anything else here in NYC (for us) and we both have perfect driving records.

That's what we do. I work in Westchester and my girlfriend takes the train into town. The Metro North is actually faster compared to her old train line from Queens.

I was so happy when I got into NJ Manufacturer's Insurance... Before my insurance was $2400/yr for just my Civic. Now my wife and I pay $1800/year for both of us on her Passat and my Civic (both '03). 🙂
