I was wondering what rates you guys are getting for the 996 turbo. I went to call a couple insurance companies but they didn't seem to have an easy time determining quotes for the turbo trim.

So can anyone who is a single male, 25>yrs old, and has a clean driving record, or close to clean, chime in please.

thanks in advance

 

I am paying about ~$60/month full coverage w/clean record on Geico. At first they couldn't identify what kind of car I had so I specify for them the orginal MSRP etc... I was surprised at how low it was.

 

60. a month is very low... shocking

 

That is a lot less than my Corvette was and my driving record is excellent...

 

Yea, maybe it is because the turbo is not my daily driver? Or TX just has awesome insurance rates. Progressive did quote me 2x higher though.

 

I only put about 2k miles in a year on the Vette as it was not a DD. Rates may be better in Texas. However, I did not shop rates just added the car to my policy.

 

I am considering a 996TT. How long have you had your car? Are you pleased with it? Anything you do not like? Thanks....

 

I pay about $80 a month for full coverage 100k/300k coverage. $500 collision deductible. 29 years old and married. And that's with allstate.

 

wow thats pretty good.

how's your driving record? i've been with this girl for a while and plan on marrying her within a year. im currently 24 years old, and if i wait until i pass 25 and get married, will my insurance significantly lower?

thanks for some answers guys, my t4s is going out of lease and im looking for a used replacement.

for reference- this turbo will be a daily driver, my commute to work is less than 15 miles.

 

I have a clean driving record. Your rates should go down when you get married by how much i,m not sure. Before i purchased my 2003 996tt i checked with my insurance for rates first. You should be able to call your insurance company to get a ball park rate. Just give them a VIN off a 996tt your looking at and they should be able to help you.

 

Actually I have only had the car ~3 weeks . But I did alot of research on this forum. It is definitely a great resource. This is the first car I can honestly say I plan on keeping for yrs and yrs... I was averaging a different car every 1.3 yrs until now. For the price I do not think you can find a better "exotic" car.

Pros:
1. Power TT...I always preferred FI
2. Unlimited MOD potential
3. Stance/Look
4. Reliability of engine...I can't really speak to this since I have had the car only a short time but this is what everyone says.

Cons:
1. Maintainance costs...this is to be expected after all it is a porsche turbo. Ex $1500 for 60k service or $4k for clutch job
2. Interior is dated: Can always be updated

The one thing that is required when purchasing this car is a good PPI. And if you get a 6sp be prepared to drop ~$4k right off the bat to replace the clutch.

 

Thanks for the reply! I would most likely purchase a low mileage car. Do you know if Porsche sells an extended warranty? I would suspect that someone does in the after-market. Wouldn't this cover the cost of a clutch replacement should I buy a manuel? Of course the warranty cost may be very expensive...

 

clutch is a wear & tear item, usually not covered. Its just like your brakes pads.

 

I am with State Farm and pay around $60 a month as well. Perfect driving record and excellent credit... It is not my DD and listed as a pleasure vehicle (less than 7500 miles a year). This is with my multi-line and homeowners discounts.

My DD old van and car are almost that much each!

 

I live in Canada, so this may not help

I was quoted $180 a month for full coverage... and i cant go over 2000kms a year. I almost 30 and clean driving record.
