dont know to how many this applies, and im not proud but - after 16 years with a pristine driving record, my first 911 (the c4s in my avatar) got me into enough trouble that, when i called my insurance to tell them about my upgrade to the 2013 tt - they promptly told me

1- they would not insure me in the turbo for any price
2- when my insurance came up for renewal, they would not renew it for any price.

fortunately my porsche dealer had a contact that set something up for me........... for $7800 per year!!!!!

woe is me, and yes i know that you reap what you sow.

 

don't feel so bad, it may have a bit to do with your driving record with the c4s but there are many insurance companies that will not cover cars with hp levels beyond a certain point (500 hp) or with extremely expensive repair costs. For example, I've been with Mercury for 10+ years and have had a very clean driving record and only 1 claim in 10 years. But they wouldn't cover my cobra or my 997 turbo so I had to finally switch and went with Geico, they claimed too much power and costly repairs as the reason they wouldn't cover the cars

 

Hehehee... And I thought I paid too much for my cars...

 

Shop around. Allstate is very reasonable on my 997tt. In fact it's cheaper than my BMW 335d. I pay $187 month for 3 cars: 07 997tt, 11 335d, 04 m3. I'm 33, clean record

 

Yikes!

When I traded my '12 C2S for an '11 TTS, my insurance only went up $23 per month.

 

Geico charges me under $1400/year for my 997TT and B7 Audi S4 Avant. Clean driving record here too.

 

Damn 7800??? What did you do? no answer needed but that is crazy. I pay 830/year for my turbo.

 

But he has cheap heath insurance.

 

Insurance prices very greatly due to geography... I have a clean record, 38, professional, yada yada and I pay about $1600 a year for insurance. I also pretty much maxed my policy limits, etc.

He's in Canada... not even sure how it works up there... seems everything is more $$.

That being said, I don't think I'd want to shell out 6-7 hundred a month on insurance alone. Yikes.

 

I pay a little over $1200 per year in Orange County, CA (not the cheapest place for insurance) on my 12 TTS 918 Edition with State Farm. I have a decent record, 1 speed about 5 years ago, but have multi-line, and multi-car discounts. It's best to insure cars and home with same carrier. I carry $100 deductible on comp, and $500 on collision---know I could save a few bucks by increasing deductibles, but happy with premium.
