That's ridiculous. I'm living in SoCal and my 6-month insured for both evos, 03 and 05 MR, are $380 and $410 with Ameriprise. Before with Allstate, it was a little higher like $400 and $450 if I recalled correctly. Shop around may get you better prices.

That might also depend on your zip code, here in Tucson being close to Mexico(45 minutes) you pay a price for being so close to the border.. Perhaps Orange county is a safer place.. .

Well I have one accident on record and it was very Minor. I back into some one in a parking lot in my truck and put a dent in the fender of a car. Other than that I have no tickets, am 20 years old and my parents both have clean records. Don't know why my insurance is so high and I have looked for cheaper insurance and it is way cheaper to stay with my parents. Until I am 21.

My insurance on the Evo and my F-150 is about $110 a month 100/300 uninsured/underinsured with $500 ded and I live 10 min from TJ. I have a clean *** record though. I am almost 34 and I have had 2 tickets in my life. (Keeping fingers crossed) Wife costs twice as much as mine.

I just saved $50/month by asking for a better quote with progressive during renewal. Now I only pay $186/month. I have two speeding tickets on my record which will drop off in two months and i'll be 25 by then too (can't wait to see how much I save after that!).

I am still trying to make logical sense to the fact that the Evo has the highest insurance rate of the 3 for my insurance company(USAA)You would think that a car with:
4 doors..
4 cylinder..
the lowest price tag..
and the lowest displacement .. should be the cheapest right?
Well, apparently no. I hunted for cars last week, I test drove a 07 C6 Z06 with a price tag of about $75000 after the taxes, my insurance quoted me lower than the Evo 8 MR. I gave the insurance company the full VIN but still the Evo was more expensive.
The vette cost twice as much as the Evo
it is a truly coupe
and it has 8 cylinders with big displacement
I also got quoted for the BMW 335i which cost $48Gs(custom made with options) and some change after taxes and again it was cheaper despite being a:
coupe
having 6 cylinders
having a much higher market value
My Evo 8 MR was after all a 2.5 year old car so is not like when it was new which cost $38k out of the door.
Many people might not realize it but having a Evo comes with the "package" of high risk insurance factor I guess..

It is sad but true. My 07 Z06 just came in and the insurance on it is less than my Evo and less than my SS Trailblazer. Go figure that one
When I called my insurance agent to tell her the car was in and I needed to get some quotes she comes back with the $$'s and I'm like ARE YOU SURE about these numbers.I don't know why the Evo is so high and she could not give me a reason. Of course I'm not going to argue with that one. I'm happy about the price. I was expecting it would be like almost double the amount I'm paying.
Who is your insurance company? Mine is Progressive.
BTW I have added about 35k to the Evo to cover the mods which a lot of people didn't know they could do and the price of my insurance droped like
$ 8.00 lol. That dosen't make sence either. Oh well I'm not complaining.

I know what you are talking about with thte insurance companies jacking money from us. i am 21 only have 2 minor speeding tickets and my insurance is 500 a month, it was 300 when i was on my dad's policy, but then my insurance scompany sayed i was to young and it was to high performance to be on the plan that i was on. I started to shop around and i cant seem to find anyone to insure me for less than 450 a month.

Let me start by saying, DONT TRADE YOUR EVO FOR A VETTE!!! I sold my evo in december for a 2003 z06....I have never hated a car like the vette, it is just a cavalier wrapped in a nice fiberglass/plastic package. Stay with the evo, I am trying to buy mine back asap!!!
Ins for me was 300 cheaper every six months than the evo, my insurance company takes into consideration the general population of the corvette driver...9/10 is an old man...for the evo it would be 9/10 is a young person...
Evo is worth every penny and more....

I believe it's all about demographics. My C5 is cheaper to insure than my evo. When I asked why I was told the average age for a vette owner was, and I don't remember exactly, in the lower 50's with an above average income.
I'm sure it's quite different for the evo owner profile. That was some of the critereia I was told they use to determine pricing.
