Insurance help
I've had my insurance through mercury for nearly 10 years and my wife and I have both our cars with them (BMW 530 and Nissan Murano), full coverage etc and we've been very happy with the premium and coverage to date
well when I called them to add the turbo last week they quoted me ~$900/yr to add the turbo to our existing policy. Today they called me to tell me they had incorrectly designated the turbo as a 911 Carrera S and that the Turbo is classified as an "exception" vehicle due to the power. New premium for the turbo is $2680/yr
In any case this is ridiculous and I'll be shopping for a new insurance carrier. Any recommendations out there from folks about policy, coverage and premiums?
thanks

Age?
Accident history?
Location of the vehicle?
I pay about $560 twice a year, $1K collision/comprehensive deductible through American Family, unfortunately, I don't think they have coverage in your area.

I have Geico, We all have a clean license, 1 accident in last 5 years, we got ourt deductible back as the other driver was found at fault (blown stop sign). We have 5 cars on the policy. I got a quote of 1200/year for the TTS. At first renewal it went to 2345/year. I said why? They said that the repair parts on this car, in theor experience are expensive and therefore the statistics used to create rates for these cars doubled! I shopped it, found slightly better rates (less than 100/yr savings in the 911 so I left it but I was pissed)

anybody have allstate? they have my home coverage, thinking they may give me a deal to cover the turbo
I too have Geico. Used to have Allstate (they suck), hence, why I have Geico now. I may be overpaying too. Paying $2800 per year for 4 cars (clean record). Allstate wanted lots more, even when they had my home insurance. Now all in with Geico. Subscribed to this thread as relation with Geico may be numbered.
$560 twice a year is dirt cheap. Btw

i have safeco. premium on 2012 tts with 1k deductible is 1508 a year. 100/500. i have a 2011 bmw alpina b7 on the same policy but my agent said it would only be 250 more a year without it.
Wow. Guess uninsured drivers and accident ratios drive prices up in CA. I'm 44, we've got clean licenses and paying $596 per year on the Turbo with Erie Insurance. $1,400 for all three vehicles combined.

I pay a little less than $600/6 months with State Farm on a 2012 TTS 918 Edition coupe. I have all my insurance with them so get multi-car, and multi-line discounts. The car is rated at less than 7500 miles per year, have a clean driving record (not sure how)--the Valentine sure helps that. I live in Orange County, CA where rates aren't cheap, but better than LA County
based on the feedback here it sounds like there's coverage to be had around $1000 give or take so I've got some phone calls to make on Tuesday
