i'm 22, and i pay 40 bucks a month for liability on my 89 chevy, i've had one ticket, going 84 in a 60, didn't take defensive driving, never impacted my record.

when i was 18, my coverage was 100 bucks a month. had coverage with them for 4 years, so i guess loyalty helps.

Also helps if you don't drive like an ass, but whatever.



Guess you guys need better radar detectors/slow down

most all insurance companies will look back at least 3 years on your accident record...or drivers history, and COMP claims over $400...& they will charge you out the ass for it.

Typically, your rates will be high for the first term with any company. But they tend to drop based on your loyalty. That what happened with my Geico policy. try them...

21, one accident, no tickets, $320/month. Car payment is only $333.59. I have Amica insurance. My MINI was $40 cheaper/month and it was newer and more expensive. I fail to understand insurance companies sometimes. (and I've had Amica since I started driving).

insurance companies usually use 4 rating variables.

liability, how much damage it will do to another car(the reason SUV's can be high on insurance)
injury rating, how safe you car is
comp, theft rating
collision, how much it costs to repair

they call these ratings, ISO ratings, which stands for Insurance Standard-and i forget the last word.

mini probably has a lower liability rating/injury rating/theft rating than an s2k(convertable/high injury). also you have to factor stastics. bmw's and mercedes are usually cheap to insure, because the people who own them usually have awesome credit, homeowners, garage kept, and drive better than you and me.

I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

I disagree with the very last part. I see alot of BMW drivers on the road and I doubt as a whole they driver better. For every awesome M3 driver there are 1000 idiot 323I drivers. I'm not saying I'm a Kimi Räikkönen or anything, but 90% of drivers in general suck ass, no matter what they drive. I do know the MINI was safe as hell, so I could see breaking them down in each category how the MINI was cheaper.
