Blatallic,

I pay about $1100 a year for full coverage here in Chicago.

Hope that helps...

I am paying $1800 a year for full coverage on the Box and a Lexus SUV, Harris county is one of the highest in the country (too many good ol boys)

^ I pay that much for just one car! I haven't had speeding ticket in over 10 years and only had one minor accident that the police officer refused to issue a report for. We have more cars than people here in the Garden State. And everyone is trying to rip off the insurance companies when there is in fact an accident with jacked up auto body claims, personal injury law suits, etc. .
A huge waste money. I feel sorry for the good drivers who have to pony up $1200 just for liability insurance on beater cars that aren't worth much more than that, despite many having good driving records.

My first year of ownership(age 16) car was insured under my name.....A whopping $6400 a year for full coverage. We learned quickly and put the car under my moms name with me listed as a 10% driver.

Hi Blatallic,
I also had an SRT-4 that I sold to buy my Boxster. I would definately get the S. My SRT was highly moded, so as far as balls-to-the-wall speed (in a straigt line) the Box dosen't come close. The engineering and handling of the Boxster is far beyond what a turbo charged Neon will ever be. You will NOT be disapointed!!

I'm a new member and first post. I just got a '02 Boxster S from David in Houston on 12/22. I drove it around 1500 miles to get it home. They did have about six and from what I remember about 3 were Boxster S.

By chance was the one red? There was a guy there to pick up a red one with a hard top and I was told there were some bearing issues with it???
