It varies from state to state. New York tends to be a bit on the pricey side.

What coverages do you have? For being your age here in California with an Evo and your insurance costing $60/month, I find that a bit interesting.

Looking to buy an Evo X in the burbs of Chicago. Been quoted anywhere from $1,800 per 6 months to $1,300. Esurance quoted me $1,126. Not too bad.


I'm sure this has been brought up in the forum but has anyone had any experiences with The General Insurance? I've heard mixed reviews from "horrible" to "amazing for the price." They're quoting me $79 a month.

Not sure if that's something I'd want to roll the dice with. Most "good" insurance carriers are still a pain to get to pay out on something, I'd hate to be dealing with one of the cheaper ones.

Very good point. Esurance seems to have fair prices and people on here seem to dig them so that may be my choice. From what I'm estimating the payments to be plus insurance won't be too bad and it should leave me with plenty of dough to mod.

Yeah, I've heard of esurance, but that's about it and unfortunately YMMV with all of the carriers.

Have you ever dealt with insurance brokers? May not be a bad idea to talk to one of them. Ultimately they're still sales people, but they're sales people who in most cases have dealt with many more companies than most of us. I used one up until a few years ago when I absolutely wanted state farm.

That's not a bad idea. I have never dealt with one, just bought insurance straight from a company. I may give it a shot. Thanks for the advice.

With the above in mind, you still bought an Evo. There are many other cars available that are great in their own right, yet you chose to pay a horrendous premium to own and drive and Evolution. If you don't mind, can you tell us what attracted you to this car to such an extent?

^ It's not the worst I've seen. I knew someone who was payint $1200 PER MONTH for their Evo. But again, it was some well-off 19 year-old kid with four or five speeding tickets whose parents were paying for it.
