My parents have state farm ins. and I am going to be getting a newer car in a few weeks, so my dad called the state farm to see what the monthly rate would be for full coverage and it was about $220. Is this normal? Right now I have a 86 toyota cressida w/o full coverage and its like $130 a month. This seems higher than everyone else ive talked to. BTW I'm 17 clean record

No, that's too high. I pay $158 every month with full coverage + 500 Dollar deductables on everything, and I'm a 18 year old male driving a 1998 Nissan 200SX (classified as a sport coupe). Tell your father to shop around for some of the lesser known insurance places, the larger ones are almost always higher. Try mine: www.american-national.com :)

FYI, according to the wall street journal, State Farm has some of the highest rates right now. Also, they have lost $7 Billion in the last 2 years.

Your rates will be a little higher than normal because parts for your car are a little expensive (I believe that major parts have to come from japan if your local infiniti dealer doesn't have them in stock), but it shouldn't be that much.
