Default ARG, MY INSURANCE QUOTE

I raell ydo want an xB, but not to a point of having to pay $378.64 for insurance, and thats the basic average of all of my options! Is it true I have to get full coverage or can I just get liability?

If you finance the car or borrow any money to buy it, you'll need full coverage. Whoever loans you the money wants to know that their investment is protected.

I am paying like 241 every 6 weeks. Which is like right about 950 every 6 months. Make sure that when you get the quotes that they know that there is a alarm system installed from the factory. I got an extra 20% off of mine because of it.

Peace!

378 per what? day? week?

I pay about $590 for six months. I have one ticket, no accidents. Very typical rates around here. How high your rates are depend heavily on the state.

This is straight from progressive.

Your 6-month Progressive Direct rate is
$2067.50 (if paid in full)
$2321.50 (if paid in installments)

NO tickets, NO accidents.

Exactly. Move within the Washington DC city limits and your insurance would be $590/month... because if your car doesn't get smashed in from people who can't parallel park, it's going to get smashed in from people who want your stereo.

Holy crap man, I am with State Farm and my insurance full coverage is 157 a month. I am 22 with no accidents either.....I feel for yas, the beautiful thing about my insurance is they consider it a wagon.

Keep checking other places as well. Luck to you.

Isn't progressive one of those we'll insure anybody companies.

If so, that would explain it.

Dang, I pay 310 for 6 months, the van which cost 10k more is only 340. With Mercury.

To get your rates down, you need to age, buy a house and have kids. And hurry...

Brutal rate.

I pay $350 every 6 months through State Farm with full coverage and $50 deductibles. But then again I'm an old fart and that always helps with insurance.

Oh man. I am 18 i live in vegas i have no tickets...well...one now...but besides that i have to pay 400/month before the ticket and i will see how much it will go up after the ticket. That is insane. They Said ther there are to many upper class cars in vegas that is why it is so much for me. Pretty ___ if you ask me.

I got my Geico insurance set up last night since I thought
I was taking home my xB, I'm looking at $151 a month.
I'm 33 with a near perfect driving record. So I may be
shopping around once I get the box in the driveway.
