i live in southern california and i just bought my car. i got my insurance papers in a couple of days ago and i was shocked. my 97 VR4 was $1010 for a 6 month policy with $1000 deductables. I have perfect record, licensed for 15 years and this is insured as my additional car. i went nuts. I have 21st century insurance which is supposed to be really cheap and they only insure good drivers. For a minute I started thinking about selling the car. then i called this place - AIS insurance. they are one of those brokers who work with a bunch of companies. they got me insurance through Mercury. Mercury is pretty good around here. I couldnt believe what the price they gave me. same coverage for $450 for 6 months and they know the car is a VR4. Oh, after 6 months, its 400.
lesson here is to shop around.
