$325/yr for full coverage with Liberty Mutual. Age 35, clean record, good credit rating. Trick is to rate the car for what you use it--mine is rated as pleasure since I use mostly for trips & weekend driving. I have a beater for work.

I'm dropping everything except liability, though. I was tagged by an uninsured driver (literally, minding my own business and got hit), made a claim, and the insurance co. nickel and dimed me on the labor rate. Their market rate survey didn't match mine.

Damn insurance is just another con game. I should have known better than to get full coverage.
State Farm sucks IMHO. You did right getting full coverage, pick another company. I had a similar experience with them. The stink of it was that the other party had admitted fault & so was going to pay the bill for the paint work in question regardless of how much paint work was needed. I had to fight with them every step of the way.

On an 08 corvette, 02 Zo6, 08 Pontiac Solsitce 2.4, and an old 91 miata.

I had my first accident 2 years ago, it soon will be off the policy

If everyones insurance premiums decreased every year, you'd soon be paying zero. How do you expect the company to provide you with insurance and pay your claim when they would make no money?

that makes me so mad....... I am 23 and with a good record ( 1 ticket ) and I couldnt find anyone to insure my zo6 for under $350 a month, I had to put the thing in my dads name because I refused to pay that ungodly amount of money for insurance. I just dont understand why companies try and rape me on insurance.

So my gf has USAA because of her grandfather. Whats pretty bad is I'm 22 and i have been talking about marriage so that i can get cheaper insurance and not for the other reasons... We have been dating over 4 years now so i can get away with saying stuff like that. This car note is bad enough monthly let alone the cost to insure this thing...

About $1000/year for the '04 Z06, $900/year for my '08 F150 FX4, $400 or so/year for my '97 Camry beater, and about $1000/year for my wife's '07 Scion tC (yes, it's about the same as the Z06...maybe a little more). Full coverage on all, I'm 25 with a good record (maybe 1 accident on there, but I think it has gone off my record now), she's 24 with a spotless record.

$900/yr full coverage Liberty Mutual. The rates heavily depend on where you live. When I moved from IN to CA, the rate for my Subaru jumped by $250/yr purely because of the move.

24 and single with one accident on my record...

02 z06 comes to 1400/year with full coverage and $500 deductible...sounds high to me. I just got the car so looking for other options.

I pay about $1600 a year for my 2002 Z06, my 96 Corvette track car (actually has insurance), and my 99 Yukon. Full coverage w/500 deductible on all. I'm 28 with a good record.

Only claim is storm damage to the Z about a year ago and of course they raised my rates about $250 a year after that one. I agree with whoever mentioned location. It was WAY WAY cheaper in OH than now in VA.

EDIT: Out of curiosity I checked, and it goes to $1300 from $1600 for the exact same coverage in OH vs. VA
