Aren't there any other cars to buy? Seriously. You're paying for the Evo twice-over every few years in just insurance fees.

Just purchased a 2011 Evolution MR (touring, premium, and nav) this past weekend and, of course, one of the first things I did was get the insurance sorted out. Was a bit worried after reading all the posts in this thread, but it turned out to be fairly cheap.

My cost, using State Farm, is $307 every 6 months ($614 a year). Works out to a little over $51 per month.

I am 34, married with a kid, live in central Ohio, own my own home, have good credit (like it or not this does get factored in), and have been accident/claim free for years. I also have all my insurance through State Farm (cars, home, life, umbrella, etc.), so there were a lot of multi-car and multi-line discounts. The car is also listed as a "limited mileage" vehicle with an annual limit of 7,500 miles (it is our third/toy car).

Yeah you can update that list with this...i quoted a GTR to replace the evo on geico insurance with full coverage and a $500 deductable, its $200 LESS!!!!! every 6 months, and a M3 coupe is $400 less.

damn im only 21 and they think its safer to be in a 450hP+ coupe rather then a 300hp 4 door?

btw this is geico

Well, insurance rates aren't solely based on a car's hp. The Evo has had years of statistics that warrant higher rates... i.e. car accidents, theft, vandalism, speeding tickets, street racing, etc. While there are certainly a few morons who own GT-Rs, there are a lower frequency of idiot drivers among preferred drivers behind the wheel of those cars, hence the better rates.

Here's my info

State Farm Full coverage
- 24 Years old with 22 Years old wife included in policy (wife has one lame parking lot accident 40% her fault)
- $500 deductible
- Multiple car discount


2009 Lancer Ralliart (sold) was $145 a month
2011 Eclipse GS-Sport Coupe (sold) was $188 a month
2001 Lancer Evolution X GSR (current) $193 a month

Why was that boaty Eclipse more expensive than a turbocharged Ralliart? don't ask me but I guess it's the 2-door factor... plus I've heard the RA is safer!
