It depends what you are comming from, I sold my 2004 GTP SC and bought my 2002 Coupe and my insurance went up about 9 bucks a month. Just call your agent, He will tell you.

That's too funny. I sold my 2004 GTP also to buy my C5. My insurance hardly went up at all but then I'm in my 50's.

I feel better about getting one now. I had heard horror stories about rates doubling or even tripling. I will be 52 on July 3rd, have spotless driving record, and multiple vehicles including a Harley. Hopefully having a 17 yr. old Son driving won't effect my rates. Thanks for the feedback folks.

when I went from a 98 T/A to the Vette my premium went down. I was amazed! multi line, multi car, accident free, and squeeky clean (knock on wood) record helps. being with the same agency for 40+ years don't hurt

You might be surprised just how affordable insurance is on a C5. Mine was very reasonable.

My insurance essentially doubled when I added the Vette Convertible to my policy covering a Ford Explorer and a Honda Motorcycle. No one else but me on the policy.

For all three I pay ~$55 a month with USAA for all three vehicles.

I have standard coverage(100/300/50) with a $1000 deductible.

So, the Vette Vert cost me an additional $24 a month.

I was very surprised when I called my agent to add in my Vette last year. My Vettes insurance is just a couple of $$ more then my 04 Explorer and $75 less then my my wifes 02 Intrepid RT.
