Alex L. Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I would drive my GTR at 10mph under the speed limit with 4-ways on at all times, white knuckling especially in the 25mph zones, where i will be traveling at a blistering 15mph or less.

CRAWDAD Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 4. Ford Shelby GT500 Price: $43,125 Cost To Insure: $2,186 Curb Weight: 3920 lbs Engine Displacement: 5.4 liter supercharged V8 HP: 500 TQ: 480 Top Speed: n/a Driver Stereotype: Redneck with lottery money That is not even close to what I pay! I pay $70 a month which comes to $840 a year. The yearly rate would be cheaper if I wanted to pay for it yearly! If I remember correctly it was just a lil under $800 to pay for it yearly.

If I remember correctly it was just a lil under $800 to pay for it yearly. There's no way that's full coverage full time, and that's true for probably any car and any person. Are you on some special plan, like a weekend only, stated value or collectible car w/limited miles per year? I don't doubt those are real numbers for the average person, and you can compare them to one another mostly too (all other things being equal, those are the prices in comparison to each other and are the most expensive for any new car you can buy). Obviously every person is going to have different insurance rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 It costs me $100 a month to insure my car plus my wife's at full coverage. 250 deductible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 "$500 beater" I guess I should have stated any car that's worth a shit to insure. There's no way anyone is getting full coverage full time on a $50k car for $800 per year. Especially not one with 500hp. My talon at liability plus my s4 at full coverage was only $80, so yes, it's more than plausible. I was obviously overstating the situation a little bit. Still $100 is $1200/year and $80 is $960/year. Not really that close to $800/year when you talk about %'s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't order any underwriting reports so this will be the highest quote for me since it put me in the worst class. Coverage Limit 2010 BMW M3 Liability 100/300 $94.41 Property damage 500 $78.16 Uninsured Motorist 100/300 $27.20 Medical Payments 5000 $8.23 Comprehensive Varies Per Vehicle $103.58 250 Ded Collision Varies Per Vehicle $304.53 250 Ded -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your 6 month premium for each vehicle is:** $616.11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously every person is going to have different insurance rates. I just pulled out my policy! Ok, I have 3 cars and this one is listed as a pleasure vehicle. not more than 7500 miles per year! (I knew that) I have had the car for 2 yr and only have 6000 miles on it, so that is not a problem! Not really sure how statefarm works but I have been with them for quite some time now. And everytime I call and ask a question, they look at the policy on the GT500 and the girl on the phone kinda pauses on the phone for a min and then says, Wow you have a really nice policy here. We don't even sell anything like that anymore. Hang on to that policy! I have a bunch of discounts on that policy! A.bodily injury propery damage liability each person/each accident $100,000 / $300,000 limits of liability-Coverage A-Property Damage Each Accident $100,000 C.Medical Payments Each person $25,000 D. Comprehensive G500. $500 Deductible Collision H. Emergency Road Service R1. Car rental/Travel Expenses Limits of liability - Car rental Expense Each day Each Occurrence $25 $600 U. Uninsured Motor Vehicle Limits of liability-U each person, each accident $100,000 - $300,000 As you can see it is far from MIN. Coverage.
