Not always, mine only dropped $5 when I turned 25. A friend of mine told me it will drop when I am 25 but only if I was married...otherwise its 30, 2 more years. Don't hold me to that because I am not sure if he is right or not.

I just checked Allstate online and I guess my friend was right, according to the website my insurance dropped almost $300 ($50 per month) by entering that I was 30 instead of 28

I just got a quote from Citizens for 925/6 months.

Sucks b/c my other one was cheaper, but this is the best rate I've found.

Female
No accidents
No tickets

Yep, I should try them...glad to see you are in Michigan and getting quotes.

My AAA quote is above. About $1800/year for a 25y/o male. I want to shop around...not sure why insurance on this car seems high.

Let me know what other rates you get....if you shop around more.

No problem. Vice Versa, let me know too :D

I got a discount for being under my step-dads insurance with Citizens, not sure how much of one though.

And yes, insurance does seem high on it. Odd. Probably the jealous "Big 3 "somehow hiking up the rates!

Have you ordered yours yet?

I just orderd mine yesterday from Suburban Scion and he already had the same one coming in next week, so I just "took" that one. Black Pearl, manual. YAY!

Yep, I ordered mine last week...not sure when it'll come in though. Ordered from McInerney Toyota in Mt. Clemens (since it's 5mins from my house).

I ordered a Flint Mica Automatic (the fiance may need to drive it...and I never really got into manuals that much)

I was going to get black, but I've always had black cars, so I got the Flint....they had a Flint manual in stock, so I got to see it in person...I liked the color.

I know my Insurance will drop when I get married since I can finally put my fiance on my insurance and have a multiple car/multiple policy (car/house) discount.

I checked with State Farm here in Tulsa, OK and they didn't even list the tC in the computer yet. She gave me an estimate of $415 for 6 months based on the MSRP of the car. I asked her when they will know the exact rates and she had no idea, she said State Farm updates the database "randomly" with new 05 cars that are coming out. So I guess I can't get a tC till State Farm gets off their butts and actually has a policy for this car!!!

What the heck I currently pay less than $800 a year for full coverage on a 2004 xb and 2004 Corolla LE. :D I checked with my insurance company and they dont have prices for the TC yet. . I also checked what it would be for 6 months with Allstate and they wanted $1340 for 6 months with my current cars. If I changed it from my XB to a TC they wanted $1400. Whats up with that. I think I will continue with my insurance company, it's Mercury Insurance btw.

Try calling the insurance companies rathern than visiting their websites... I have a xB and on 21st Century Insurance it's under Toyota-Scion-xB. Give them a call... they're pretty cheap... and good service so far... 1-800-211-SAVE. Also get a VIN if possible... it doesn't have to be from your car... any from a tC will do... it will help them get an idea...

$550 for 6 months for full coverage on the following vehicles and two drivers with a $500 deductible.

2003 Civic EX Coupe
2005 Scion TC

The $550 covers both me and my wife and both cars. We are 27 and 24.

just got a quote from State Farm for the following:

all deductibles $250
full glass
uninsured motorist

I'm turning 24, 5 year clean record, and married.

for $106 a month. or $100 deductible for $114 a month.

That is considering my wife has a Jetta VR6 and we got renter's insurance with State Farm. We get Multi car discount and Multi line discount with that. Next year it should drop more, since I'll turn 25.

Currently I'm paying 67.00 a month on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 1000 deductible coz i owned it for 4 years, and guess what? My car got pounded by baseball hail June 10th so im getting a 17k check being that i could only trade my pos in for about 11-12. So i'm financing the tC and an R1 with that check ^_^

State Farm:
0 deduct comp, 250 deduct collison , etc $382 6/mo based on the price of the car.

My tips on lowering your insurance rate:

- Get Married
- Get older
or become female.
