hey guys, so my car should be 2 - 3 weeks away and now i've just been hit with a $10,400 insurance quote for the year from progressive... i'm freaking out basically...

geico, all state, liberty mutual, state farm - none of them will touch the car.

i'm 28 years old and single with 2 speeding tickets and 1 careless driving in the last 4 years.

i'll be purchasing the car outright - does anyone have any suggestions of who to call!??!

the car would be garaged in NYC and driven lightly... thank you!!!

 

That's freaking nuts. Only suggestion I can provide is keep calling other companies (e.g., Geico, Allstate, State Farm etc). Those two tix plus your age can't be great for rates.

Also, think about taking out a multi peril (e.g. car+ condo or home coverage).

 

Try the co I use;

www.Classicins.com

It is a stated value policy with mileage selections you choose from.

My 07TT & 08 lambo cost $3K/yr

 

For once, I feel happy about being mid 40's, balding, "slightly round," and pretty conservative in my driving habits ...

 

Damn that's high...I think I'm paying Progressive like $2500 but I'm not 100% sure...

 

i'm going to give you my best spoiled brat impression (even though i am far from one)... i just have bad luck

IT'S NOT FAIR!

 

When I was your age and had similar run ins with the radar jockeys...my rates were sky high too...but never that high. Although I couldn't quite affordt a 911TT at the time!

 

Try to find someone in Morris County NJ and use their address for the insurance. Even if you had to change your address and license to a NJ license it should be worth it. I have State Farm and with great coverage I pay about $1,800 a year in Morris County.

 

I have Geico. $1,800.00 a year

 

$1600 for six months in Bakersfield California, which is over priced for Cali. That was from Geico where I have my DD insured for $92 a month.

 

Being under age 30 and having a spotty driving record have unfortunately screwed you regardless of the insurance provider. You could always carry liability only and throw your saved dollars into an emergency car repair fund.
-Getz

 

Just throwing a thought out there… How about having your parents put it on their policy and add you as a driver? Not sure if this is possible due to your age, record, and different address but it's an idea...

 

31 here and paying $1100/ year for my 2010 tt

 

That's !!

Lived in Manhattan for years. Never once thought about owning a Porsche there. I can understand why insurance companies would be so resistant.

 

im 28, with 1 ticket in the last 2 years (5 over...) and I pay ~1500 a YEAR with state farm. Full coverage, 1000 deductable.
