Got a quote from my insurance today, as my GTI lease is expiring and I'm seriously considering the S2k.
$2000/year...for a clean driving record, Southern California married, multiple policies?
Seems steep to me, considering that I'm paying $980/year for an 03 GTI and even cheaper for an 04 WRX...
How is that quote in your opinion?
I'd like to get that car, but $166/month in insurance...

 

You can thank many factors. Bald tires, wrong tires for the season, the Fast and Furious movies, the increasingly lower prices and ricer tools taking them into the curb..., the list goes on and on.

 

My insurance is closer to the $500 dollar per month range.

 

Bottom line, yes, the S2k will cost more to insure, but it shouldn't cost 2x as much. Shop for another agent.

P.S., forgot to mention, I have a 2005 S2k and a 1997 M3. I pay about $120 per month for both cars, am single, and 26.

 

where are you located? He's in california and that's why the rate is so high. HOwever, it should not be that high unless he has bad credit and bad driving record

 

I have a 800+ credit rating i'm 23 live in colorado & I pay 2900 for 6 months...(my00)

 

800+ ??Holy cow Do you own a lot of properties or something? That's unbelievable. I've never seen anyone with that kind of score.

 

i pay $1600 per year in socal for 3 cars. I only live a mile from work though and I am married and over 25 with no tickets or accidents.

 

High credit rating just means you owe people money.

 

I live in Chicago. 28 / married / no kids / no accidents or tickets

I pay $2000/year for my wife and I to drive the S (04) and two other cars
