I have a perfect driving record and credit record. I have a 1995 Mark
VIII in great condition. My insurance is with Progressive and it's
about $500.00 every six months. It's been going up little by little the
last few years. I still have collision but that part is $125.00 of the
$500.00 every six months. Probably worth keeping the collision for now.
Does this sound high for Kentucky? They say the car is more expensive
to insure than some others is because it's a fast car. I will check
back for your thoughts especially if you have one of these. I'm 50
years old. Thanks

That's a good rate; I pay $1140/year for a '94 in Kansas, and I'm old.

I used to live in WA and the auto insurance rates ARE very low there;
probably rates are regulated better there than some of the other states.

Try going to progressive's website. You can get a comparison with two or
three other companies. You should also talk to whoever insures your house.
Sometimes you can get a home insurance discount and auto insurance discount
if both are insured with the same company.
And drop the collision. You're going to get very little if you wreck your
car.

when I turned 26 or so I was still paying almost a $100 a month on my
windstar and i always heard there was some discount at 25 which I never got.
So I called USAA and asked why I was still paying so much, it was some old
accident of my wife that should have expired, but skip all that... on the
important part, so I called Geico for a quote, it was better then USAA, so I
called USAA and said hey cancel me I'm going with Geico, so USAA said well
lets see what we can do and they came up with a quote that blew away Geico.
So the trick seems to be to get a better quote and tell your current company
your going to cancel. Oh I ended up paying $43 a month for my windstar. this
is in dayton, OH.

I did the same thing - play one against the other. I ended up at Liberty
Mutual. I told State Farm the rate they quoted me, and SF said they were
sorry to see me go. I'd been with them for 20 years..... oh well. Makes
my wallet stay thicker just a bit longer.

What does that mean? All cars can go fast.

I did drop the collision since it was $500 deductible and the car is
not worth enough any
more to keep it. I didn't drop comp yet. I like the idea of comp. It's
$100 deductible
but does cost $77 every six months. I feel I am more likely to need
comp but so far
I never needed comp or collision.
