At least you don't live in Philly/South Jersey (highest rate of insurance fraud in the nation). I'm 2 weeks from 27, have no tix or accidents, ever. I still pay about $215/month in insurance. One quote I got for insurance was $2800 for 6 months Needless to say, this car is NOT one to buy if you're stretching your budget to make the payments. Hopefully more of boy-racer crowd figures this out and stops crashing S2000's so our rates go down.

$175.84 a month.

MY00 was around $130 a month; so a $45 increase can be attributed to owning a newer car.

I was a little disappointed about that so I called Allstate cause I like the dude who does their commercials; I'm a safe driver so I figured I'd pay less.

LOL...I was quoted at $232 a month! For now, I'll just stick to State Farm. I'm skeptical about going with someone like Geico or Progressive. However, recently I got hit by someone who had Progressive insurance and their claim service was awesome.

The problem with all the discussion of what everyone is paying is that rarely have the comments taken the whole picture into account.

Geography is a huge factor. Even in the Portland Metro area, living in one county vs another has a dramatic effect on rates.

Coverages are something else. I carry 100/300 and have a million dollar personal liability umbrella. Lots of people carry the state minimum which will significantly reduce the rate.

So while $2000 / year sounds pretty high, we don't know what kind of coverage or what effect his zip code has on that rate.

I pay $150 a month for 2 cars. 01 S2000 and 05 Civic EX. But even if I went over and bought a 05 S2000 my insurance for 2 cars would be $150 a month.

I just checked and it's $190/month for an 04 for me (haven't found my S2000 yet...)

I'm 22, have a credit score of 755 and use USAA.
