Also, credit history plays a bigger part now than it has in the past.

I just did a quote online with State Farm for my 2003 that I'm purchasing today, and it will be $130 - $135/month for it. Currently I have a 2004 Evo that I pay $205 for. No accidents, no tickets, [knock on wood]...

So I just got a quote over the phone from Geico.... I'm 20 years old, 3 speeding tickets & 1 accident..... Geico quoted me $275.25 per month for full coverage on a 2004 chevy cavalier & a 2001 honda s2000. This is including the multiple car "discount" and also a good student discount.

I called my insurance agent about 3 weeks ago for a quote on the S: 2005, new. Turned out to be around $80/month, which is about $30 more than I am paying for my 2005 Jetta GLI now.

I am 28, married, male. 1 speeding ticket last summer that didn't show up on my driving record (probably becuz it's in VA?). I live in DC suburbs in MD.

Liability & Comprehensive at 100k/300k with $1000 deductible.

The sad part about that is that your premium is within a couple hundred bucks of what I pay for a 1998 Camry and a 2003 S2000. Unlike you, I'm 39 and have a spotless driving record for about 20 years.

Like housing prices, insurance is all about location, location, location.

I'm in Southern Maine. There are practically no s2000's in this area.

My friend used to have a ford ranger and when his dad bought a viper (for himself) his friends insurance went to $12,000 a YEAR! They have the money so it's not a problem for them, but the kid only drove his dad's car once down the road and he still had to pay $1,000 a month just to keep it in the garage.

(btw, if you don't believe me, call and get a quote for an 18 year old in a dodge viper)

My FC was cheaper than the S insurance. Was yours a turbo?
All FD's are twin-turbo from the factory.
