Expensive to Insure?

[Inklink]

Hello folks,

Prospective 2002/2003 Mazda Protege 5 buyer here. I'm wondering how insurance rates for the P5 stack up against other cars?

I realize that driver history and age, etc. influence rates, but from a pure repairs/theft/safety standpoint, how would a P5's insurance rates compare to some other cars: 1997 Lexus ES300, 2001 Civic 4dr, 2000 Toyota Camry, 2001 Honda Accord. I mention these ones to get a relative idea. (stash)

I've done research on the car, looks like it'll be worth the purchase (I hope) .

Thank you!

It really all depends man what discount you get, your driving record, and your covereage! The best thing to do is to call your insurance co and get a qoute.. its free and easy. The p5 is cheaper to insure then s2000 and cheaper to insure a 94 grand am about 5 years ago for me and that wasnt full coverage where the p5 was.

Mine dropped 15.00 per month from a Nissan Sentra

I have a very bad record mine is like 135 a month for liability w/sr22 but I'm sure it would be a lil cheaper for a p5

It's cheap. Taxes too. When tax times come I pay $29 for my p5 and about $50 for my Mazda3

The best approach is to talk to your agent or someone else in insurance and see if they can give you the vehicle "class." If they can they can give you other similar vehicles in the same class for you to compare to.

135/mo full coverage with progressive.

Thanks a lot folks! My insurance company is giving me $150/month and that's not even comprehensive. They cite it as being in "category 4/4" in terms of expense. I'm still looking to go ahead with the vehicle, lets hope it's worth it .

id shop around thats rediculous when i got insurance i had some places wanting $500 a month

 

[StealthWyvern]

Damn I pay 198 a month for full coverage on a 03 msp, 04 mazda6, 94 f150 with 3 driveres with 50k/500k/50k coverage and a 250 deductable with road side assistance.

I pay $78 a month,full coverage, but thats pretty good considering that i'm only seventeen.

when i was 17 i was paying $170 a month for liability on a 240sx it sucked

I'm paying somewhere between $55-$60 a month for full coverage w/State Farm. 34 and no prior accidents...and have been with them since I was 16.

I couldnt keep up with that, 170/month would be crazy.

Geicko gave me a quote of $580 a MONTH a few weeks ago I wish I could afford that

Do you have a DUI or something? 20 speeding tickets perhaps? LOL That's just scamming.

Mine is $697 a year in Australia and that is for full insurance

2 speeding 1 reckless on private property 2 seat belt 1 failure to use turn signal 4 driving on suspended and my favorite exceeding the limitations of a moped. even my insurance agent laughed about that. i learned the hard way, almost everything comes off in july and i dont have to carry an fr44 after october. i ended up paying a little over $3k to get my liscense back

and the 580 a month was for non owners insurance dmv requires me to keep insurance to keep my licsense even though i didnt have a car in my name. right now im paying $155 a month on a 4 door 91 civic liability it would be $120 but dmv changed their laws and now i have to have an fr44 instead of an sr22.

hopefully this will explain to any younger people to not **** up like i did
