I assume this excludes exotics? I don't see how an Enzo is less expensive to insure than anything on that list

When I bought my S, I did a sanity check. . . turns out that after a certain point, the more exotic the car is, the lower the chances of it being wrecked (acording to the almighty insurance formulae).

I asked about "what would happen if. . ." I bought a SLK55. . . and it was about 20% cheaper than the S. A 360 was about there as well. Turns out the people that buy those cars don't crash them that often.

. . . still doesn't quite explain the Jag though. . .

Insurance rates are elusive and vary state-to-state, condition-to-condition.

Here's what you missed

1 A 1 E = about standard


Liability Rating Index (Liability) -- Index of bodily injury and property damage liability premium.

Damage and Theft Index (Damage/Theft) -- Index of collision and comprehensive premium.
A -- charged significantly lower-than-standard premium
B -- charged somewhat lower-than-standard premium
C -- charged standard premium
D -- charged somewhat higher-than-standard premium
E -- charged significantly higher-than-standard premium


S2000 CONV A 30% E

weird.
still, just one minor fender bender in an Enzo will set you back like $30K (write off for an S2k).

Back when I had an S2000 I paid $55 a month, $7 more than the Miata I traded in.
