Insurance Costs

Dang. I'm with Geico too, but they're charging me $1400/year with 250/500 coverage. 01 Boxster, no prior accidents or tickets. Mid-30s age bracket. Guess NYC adds a premium.

Ohio, 37, no points 52.00 a month zero deductible on comp 500 coll. , towing and a rental car. My Explorer 60.00 a month, figure that one

I'm 30 years old and I pay $36.50 a month for the Box's insurance. Full coverage, towing, rental reimbursement, the works. Gotta love USAA.

What others pay won't help you.

Too many variables for a valid comparison.

Suggest you price shop in your locale.

Too many variables for an accurate measure.

Location, credit score, age, coverage type, if you have a family, multiple policy coverage, all play a big part. There is a lot more I am sure but that's all I could think of right now.

I on the other hand pay less per month for my Boxster than I did for my WRX.

At 24, I pay $75/mo. for 500/500 primary vehicle, including discounts for married, multi-car, multi-line. No tickets, but an accident about 2 years ago. My next bill should have the accident dropped off, and I'll be turning the magical 25 years old, so it should go down a bit more.

I asked my agent why this car is significantly cheaper to insure than any of my BMW's were. He said that Porsche's are rated as one of the cheapest cars to insure due to the types of people who own them. Repair costs are high, but owners tend to be older, more mature, more courteous, etc. On the other hand, BMW is one of the most expensive due to primarly younger, less mature, more "spirited" drivers + the high cost of repairs.

Anyway, as previously stated, too many variables and not enough sample to draw broad conclusions, but enough andectodal evidence to say that Boxsters are fairly cheap to insure, I'd say!

Living in Harris County, Texas (Houston) sucks when it comes to insurance. I pay 1100 a year for full coverage an I have not had a ticket in 12 years, nor an accident in 5 years. I also have good credit. However, I was amazed that my boxster costs a few bucks a year less than my Lexus LS400, which is 2 years older than my Porsche.

Not too sure about that. Take me for example.

I am 25, married, no kids, and have the Boxster insured as a daily 70% me and 30% the wife (driving), I rent my place for the time being, and I have no speeding tickets and no accidents on my record. I have tow and car rental in my coverage and my coverage is pretty much topped out. I pay about 180 a month for that here is sunny Southern California.

See the giant price difference there...? There are a lot of factors that account for that difference.
