What are you guys living in DC paying for insurance? I am starting work there on Sept. 10th and I am getting rates of $2267 every 6 mths. I am used to paying $743 every 6mths. now. That is quite a jump for me. The above cost is for the IS and liability on a beater car. If you guys are getting good rates there let me know the companies you are with. Thanks.

Hey, welcome to DC! I live in MD and works in the S.W. near the Capitol Hill. If you need any pointer on good restaurants, give me a holler. My wife and I pay Progressive $2016/6 mo. for both the '01 IS and '01 RX, for full coverage. I have 5 points on record and wife has none. And I'm 30. I don't think it is a good rate, but it is the best I could find. If you have a good driving record, obviously you should give GEICO a call.

ISLover,

I pay around $286 every 6 months, but I live in Virginia (not in the city), and I have a $1000 deductible. I have State Farm, but since my parents have been with them for 20+ years, I got a great deal from our family's State Farm agent, so I am probably not representative of what others will pay.

I am also 29, so like S20002IS300, I am not paying the exorbitant under 25 rates I used to.

Hey IS300Fool, did you get your car from Pohanka? I'm going to be picking up a 2002 as soon as possible and I'm wondering where I should plan on having it serviced...

Which leads me to my next question

, has anybody in the DC area seen any 2002's on the lots? I'm foaming at the mouth here

I'm bringing in my car to Lexus of Rockville this Friday to get the ECU update. I'm hoping they'll be a 2002 manual for me to test drive...

Coverage for me on an IS300 02, 500 deductibles, was 2014/year. That's for a 22 year old, male, defensive driving, defensive driving advanced. I miss being on my parents policy, I think I paid 865/year for my camaro. That's another thing, if you get house ins. and auto ins. through the same group, you're likely tol get a steep break. Something I really have to get around to doing. my insurance is through usaa. ahh this is for wilmington, DE. , somewhat of a city.

Sorry for the sloppy post. The ambien is screwing my head, and i have band-aids on the tips of several of my fingers.

Lexus of Rockville has a Yellow manual only.

So far...

Hey guys thanks for your help on this. S20002IS300, I'll give you a holler on the places to be. IS300Fool, I am going to try state farm. GEICO is the company I am with now and they are the ones that gave me that astronomical rate. I am 26 with a clean record so I thought I could get a much better deal. My job is with the DC gov't so it is required for me to live in DC, so that sucks when it comes to these costs.

 

[jiggs]

try state farm, and tell them you want home/renters and they should knock off 10% also if you have more than one car you get a discount too...5000 a year for insurance is crazy to me...

 

[ISLover]

thanks jiggs, will do today and let you guys know.
