Hello Carol, welcome to the forums.

I caught your post in an earlier thread, but will comment on Insurance again.

Wow, that sounds like a lot for insurance. Is the theft rate really high in your area. My record isn't perfect, I am 46 and live in Indiana. I pay $850/year for my 05 GT, 5spd. I got the first bill this week. It is $8.70/month more than my 03 F150 truck was. I use State Farm, did you price them.

I do multicar discount. Have a beater 88 Eldorado, and a 94 Harley.

Best of luck !!

Welcome Carol. I love the 05 GT's, but you might want to shop that insurance around....unless you have a bad driving record.

I always think of ZZ Top when ever I hear LaGrange. [sm=smiley20.gif]

C/Note -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/17/2005 10:29:47 AM)

800 bucks 6 months dam.....you must not be wearing your glasses when you drive to have that bad of a driving record....j/k welcome...[:)]

horseshoeing -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/17/2005 2:30:53 PM)

I live in Carrollton, GA and mine is about $100 a year. My car is a 66. Maybe thats why it so cheap.

badtzmaru -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/17/2005 2:38:55 PM)

that is high! I pay $820.00 for full cover for 6 months for two vehicles(Mustang GT 94 and a 2004 Vue) and that is in California, and were I live it has a high theft rate. Excellent driving record. You might want to shop for a lower quote.

Good luck.

Hey, all...thanks for the replies...
I'm not sure why my insurance is so high....I've been with the same ins. co for 20 years and no accidents or tickets on record. This town is not high for crime, that I know of. I'm still shopping around for the best price. I may have to go to an older model Stang instead. I sure would hate to have to give up on the '05 'cause of ins.

Higgie -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/17/2005 8:09:52 PM)

Of course all the Tangs are nice. Some Ins. companies seem to do you this way. Shop around, then let them know what you have found. Sometimes, they will give you the "right" rate you should have had all along. I can't imagine that I would pay halk your quote, here in Indianapolis, In.

Good luck !!

Welcome to the forums. Nice pick on the stang, hope you don't rule out what you really want because of insurance. You should get a longtime member discount or something through that company, and if not, go someplace else. If you have a great driving record and all, you should NOT be paying that much. I don't pay but like $200 more every 6mos and i'm 19.

I think they're trying to rip you off. [:(]

Best of luck, and if you need help with anything, ask!

1fast05GT -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/18/2005 7:38:38 AM)

Welcome to the forum. My insurance is $1,600 year for two full coverages including towing and rental on my '05 GT and my '04 F-150 Lariat.

DIVER8374 -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/18/2005 9:14:04 AM)

Welcome to the fourms Carol, I would totoally look into a different insurance company, I am 30 and i pay 700/6 months for full coverage on a 2001 mustang GT and a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 I am with Nationwide. I would deff. shop that rate around, you should be able to do a lot better that. Good luck

horseshoeing -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/18/2005 12:35:32 PM)

PM me and I will give you the # to my insurance company.

I have Nationwide as well, they're excellent with their quotes and also when it comes to making claims. Granted I've only made one claim when someone rearended me, but they were excellent when it came to handling it. Very affordable as well.

lexigirl -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/21/2005 8:34:01 PM)

Teddybear1255--I just bought the car you want! See sig below!

As for insurance, I have Countrywide, 2 other cars on policy (98 BMW M3, 2000 Dodge Durango), no accidents or tickets, and I'm 44. I also have my sixteen year old insured on the car [&o] . I'm paying about $470.00 every six months for the 'stang. Not great, but better than $800.00. I live in Oregon. And Countrywide has GREAT customer service. You might check them out. You will LOVE this car!

junkyard -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/22/2005 3:58:09 AM)

I'd definately shop around for a better deal than that. I pay about 725/6 months for full coverage on 2 cars and renters insurance. USAA is a good company, but you have to be military or affiliated to go with them.

blueangelfightr -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/22/2005 1:37:52 PM)

Welcome to the forums. Have fun.

Angel -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/22/2005 4:09:12 PM)

Looks like I'm going shopping for insurance. I pay $920.50/6[:@]. I'm 46 and never had a ticket. I have an 2004 v6 and live in Texas.

Higgie -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/22/2005 7:42:56 PM)

That sounds high, like I said earlier in the thread, $850.00/yr. 05 GT/ 5spd. Indiana. State Farm Insurance

snlpa -> RE: my 50th birthday present!! (2/23/2005 7:23:09 AM)

Sounds to me like if someone is willing to pay that much they will take it. Most numbers told are way to high. I pay less than $1200 a year for full coverage on 02 Mustang GT and 97 Maxima. I have a 4 points and the wife has a DUI wich is 6 points. I am 33 years old!!
