I'm not sure why, but it costs me more per month to insure my 1994 Maxima than it does to insure my 1983 Porsche 944!

$13.00 vs $17.00 a month (liability coverage only)

Maybe it is based on age of vehicle

I will say that the Maxima will leave the Porsche 944 for dead in a drag race. Stretch that out over a few miles though, the 944 wins.

As it does whenever there is a corner....

I sure like them both!

 

Porsche is a classic, Maxima is not.

 

30.00 dollars on two rides for insurance, good price, no complaint there...

 

I pay $50 total a month for my three currently insured cars (2 3rd gens and a Civic)

 

I obviously live in the wrong state (NY).

 

He has liability only, so neither car's replaceability is a factor.
Perhaps they the numbers show a "classic" will be driven a bit more carefully.

 

what he said

 

Porsche would be cheaper to insure on Haggerty if it isn't already.

 

Cheaper than $156 a freaking year?
The paper shuffling has to cost more that that!

 

Haggerty only insures classic, weekend cars.

It might not be cheaper though, I think Haggerty provides FULL coverage. It's cheaper than a lot of insurance companies with full coverage. I noticed that OP only has liability.

 

It's nice to see another Porsche owner here!

They're cool cars for sure...

 

Personally I like the 85.5 on up 944's with their different interior design, and I like how the twin came has the same front nose as the Turbo. I had thought about buying one once, until I found out what all is involved in doing a (proper) timing belt and water pump change... And a replacement torque tube...

 

funny its like it costs me $275 every 6 months to insure my my 96 max, but when i got a quote for a 2003 s2000 they told me $144 i was like hows this possible..

 

Who you insured with? I need them seriously.

 

Age is more likely the reason why the 944 is cheaper! I think that model only had 150 hp.......the early 944 Turbo only had 217 hp, and the first 944 turbo S was 250 hp iirc.....I loved that 944 turbo and that big exhaust system...It was deep and throaty!

 

I prefer the earlier interiors, the 85.5+ were too "Asian" for me.

Earlier versions reminded me of the old British sports cars (as does the electrical system).

Yeah, working on it takes patience.

The first time I did the belts (and seals and...) and updated the waterpump, put it all back together and all was well - until night came.

I pulled in the garage, turned the car off and the headlights would not go down, WTF!

Found a radiator hose was not in the exact position it needed to be, and was caught on the headlight linkage -

Clutch replacement, I think it took me 6 months to finally get it all completed in my garage, what a PIA that was!

Not for the timid, that is for sure!

I've got it listed for sale here, for fun, I've threatened a lot over the past decade to sell it, no one ever comes up with the money.

I know I've got well over $20K wrapped up in it over the years

Maxima, good car, other than those fricking exhaust studs!

 

I know a guy with a 944 Turbo. He is very patient and has owned a lot of European cars. He tells me about the lengthy garage times he puts in with them. The car is pretty sweet, but not my bag.

The insurance rate seems really low, but I would highly recommend full coverage if you can afford it, or at least get comprehensive insurance. That cheap liability coverage seems great until something happens, like a deer jumps out in front of you or a piece of wood falls off the back of a truck.

I pay about $110 a month and have full coverage with a $100 deductible on my BMW and 94 GMC 4x4. Since the Maxima is parked until I put in a new clutch, it only has comprehensive ($500 deductible).

Several years ago I hit a deer driving my Infiniti QX4. The damage didn't seem terrible, but it broke the headlight, bent the hood, front bumper and driver door. Total cost was over $7k and the replacement headlight for those is $1500 for a new one.

 

HEY THIS ADVRIDER.COM IS VIRUL....MY ANTIVIRUS SHOT UP WARNING SIGNS LIKE A ****!!!!

 

You've got another problem, advrider.com is a lot safer than 99% of the internet.

 

Link worked fine for me, no warnings.

 

for what, exactly?

freakin' cookies?

 

2 doors generally cost more to insure than 4 doors. It's based on a profile of the typical owner and how often each gets into accidents. Especially if you have liability only then it is not about replacement cost, but mainly likeliness of an accident that is going to cost the insurance company money.

 

thanks for the tidbit of information but the OP is stating that the 2 door costs LESS than the 4 door.

try reading the thread before clicking reply.
thanks!

 

Paying almost 200 for two cars with full coverage, my 3rdgen and Volvo.
New Yorkers get raped when it comes to insurance for anything!!

 

Im paying $200 for 1 car.. Im not only getting raped, Im getting bamboozeled.

 

Ouch... is that your monthly rate?

 

yes...

 

That's really high. Prior at fault accidents? Speeding tickets?

 

I wish I could get full coverage on my VE but paying for that would be like 3-4 cool new mods every month .

I insure 4 cars liability here in nyc and pay 320 a month. 92 max,2000 i30,95 camaro,2002 dodge caravan.

 

Something like that, but it was about 5 years ago

nice stable of supercars you got there big guy

 

It can take a while for your rates to come down. Good thing for me, I have a relatively good driving record. Also, when I turned 25 about 10 years ago, I got a big drop in my insurance.
