Would love to know what peeps are paying for their insurance. During the weeks before I bought my Altima, I had some other picks for cars and would call my ins company to find out the prospective change. For starters, I was driving a 2005 Corolla S, and coming off the tailend of a ticket 3 yrs ago, Labor Day Weekend......I was paying $343/every 6mo.If I bought a Ford Fusion AWD Sport: ins increase=$40/6 moMitusbishi Ralliart: $60/6 moHyundai Genesis Coupe: $90/6 mo

My new insurance for my Altima Coupe: $150/6 mos (It was the most but SO TOTALLY worth it!)So Im paying close to $1000/year for my ins......and other than that last speeding ticket 3 years ago, no accidents, etc......and of course, over the age of 25........Im with Farmers Ins.......anyone with figures like these or do I need to find a new ins company?

I am paying about 1100 every year lol...I am only 23 though with full coverage through farmers with 2 other cars. I also got a point on record now for unsafe lane change...so that will probably go up..

Hey there, Denise

I recently turned 40 (just a little older than you), and my insurance is through State Farm. My rates went up when I traded in my old Saturn sedan to buy my '09 Altima Coupe 2.5S 6MT. I'm now looking at between $1000-$1100 annually for full coverage, so my rates seem to be similar to yours. I don't live in a big city, so I would have hoped that I would be paying less than this.

While I hate spending money on auto insurance, I hate having to spend money on auto repairs even more.

wow, lucky, even when I was on liability for my 96 Dodge Ram I was still paying double what you're paying for a new car! lol... I have Geico and am paying $165/month or $990 every 6 months. My friend recently told me that insurance companies now base your rate mostly upon your credit rating and not your driving record as much so I can understand it being high since my credit sucks balls.

And I'm past the 25 hump. No tickets for 4 years, no wrecks, nothing, grr.

That rating might very well be the reason your insurance is so low. I couldn't imagine getting a lower rate than $25 a month. Something about that just doesn't even sound right for full on collision insurance.

I have a friend or two that have been in a lot of wrecks and get tickets a lot and their insurance is as high as $3,000-$5,000 every 6 months.

I'm at $246 a month; totaled my previous car. I will probably be looking for a new provider once this runs out.

I have what I'd consider pretty good coverage (don't have my plan in front of me, and am about to run out the door), and I'm only 24. I could probably skim some off by cutting coverage, but I don't like the sounds of that. 'Course, school expenses might just convince me to change my mind...
