Question Evo Insurance cost?

For those of you lucky enough to already have an Evo, I was wondering what kind of 'damage' your insurance premium is incurring.

I heard something about a "streetable race" classification for the EVO, meaning ungodly high insurance costs. Whats everyone getting? This may be the make-or-break part of my decision to buy one.

It would also help to know your associated ages, and general driving history (ie, you have 1 or 50 tickets the past few years).

Thanks!

Compared to all other sporty cars, the insurance is not too high for the Evo VIII, yea it is a turbo car but it is also 4 door and is considered a sport sedan. From my understanding, the insurance is not too high compared to many other cars such as the 350z, m3 or z06.

You got a very good rate...
What are your coverage limits (deductible, collision, etc.) if you don't mind me asking?

well, i dont have the numbers in front of me but i think its 300k personal, 100k property (whatever the standard numbers are).

500 collison deductible

100 comp deductible

its also that low b/c I paid 6 months in lump sum. without lump sum it would have been 1240 for 6 months.

(yeah, it is really low, i keep wondering if they have a regular lancer on file instead, but hey, they have my VIN #.)

~$750 for 6 months with Statefarm.. I am 24.. And have a lot of speeding tickets..
Coverage:
100 Comp
500 Collision
Uninsured/underinsured
Rental car



But i have renters, 3 cars, and a Roth IRA though them, so i get a pretty large discount.


I am sure it will go up once people start driving their cars too. The WRX jumped up ALOT.. I am hoping the price of the evo will keep some of the idiots out of them.

Progressive said they didn't have it in their system either. I got quoted as insurance on a "Lancer" that she added the "high performance" flag to. The rates were up a little from my Subaru, somewhere around $2k a year maybe? I have 100/300/100 with 500 deductibles, GAP, towing, rental, uninsured/underinsured coverage.

24 with one ticket that should be off my record now.

wow, you must be the youngest CEO of a fortune 500 company, or very well off and generous parents. You're paying as much for insurance per month as the car payment.. try shopping around, you can almost certainly find a better rate than that.
