The real Ryan

My s2k is not expensive to insure.

The most expensive collision losses isn't the same thing as the most expensive to insure. You're telling me any of those cars is more expensive then insuring some exotic? I don't believe that for one second.

Now there's WAY more of those on the street so I can believe they had higher losses (more cars to crash = more money lost). That's probably how the Jaguars got on the list, what "ricer" is driving those? There's just a decent number of them out there (say compared to new Ferraris) and they're expensive.

FYI my 96 Civic w/ full coverage and $100 deductible was just as much as my 01 4x4 Durango w/ a $100 deductible. Shit's bananas.

Wow Jay, just saw your numbers. Been okay, be at VA the first week or two of September, working/rerenting a house and maybe buying another one. Hopefully my Z will be out of the shop putting down numbers close to yours .

Unfortunately theft also accounts for higher insurance rates. Japanese imports typically rank in the top 10 with most of their lines. My very first car, an 85 Corolla GT-S was stolen just after I got some Pirellis on them back in 1990. When they found it, it was stripped of everything.

I dont think the Ricers damaging there car have an affect on the prices. I think its how much parts cost. arts for my car are expensive thats how it made it to #6.

Hmm, the only strange part - I own both an Evolution 8 and an S2000. My S2 is far more expensive to insure than the Evo.

Full Coverage on Both :
S2000 = $1250.26 / 6 months = $208.38 / month
Evo = $643.88 / 6 months = $107.31 / month

Then again, year and mileage could have something to do with it. I would think a 00' with 78k miles would be less than a 03' with 26k.

2 Seaters are more expensive than sedans. Drop tops always tons more than hard top. (for speed though hard top is way to go-stronger structurally as well as lighter).

I understand that, just wondering why they listed Evo #1 while the S2 was #7 though.

1. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
2. Mercedes CL-Class
3. Dodge SRT-4
4. Subaru Impreza WRX
5. Jaguar XK (convertible)
6. Lexus IS 300
7. Honda S2000
8. Acura RSX
9. Nissan 350Z
10. Jaguar XJ

I underlined the reason why.
Not the same thing as insurance rates.
