Hey guys, I recently realized that since my parents bought some land up in Maine (Wytopitlock, bout 30 min from Lincoln) well I know for a fact that insurance and registration in Maine has to be cheaper, any folks with 5th gen maximas who can tell me how much they pay if they pay property tax on there maximas and insurance rates. Wytopitlock is the boondox so that might fluctuate price but about thanks guys!

 

Hi,

I'm from the greater Portland area of Maine. I haven't had a ticket in about 5 years, am over 25, married, and have two cars on one policy. I pay between $600 to $700 per year for my 2000 auto GXE. That's with $100 and $250 deductibles. Hope this info helps.

 

Insurance might be lower but don't be so sure the registration is. The mil rate in Maine is pretty high.

Damn! Wytopitlock is the woods! I live in Portland and I'm closer to you in CT than I am that place!!

 

Do you pay property tax on your maxima? Also, the good thing is I'm guessing if I get stopped in Conn where I am mostly, I don't get insurance points and its a biggy for me since I'm 16 and point will make your insurace skyrocket

 

Oh yeah I forgot to tell ya, I pay ummm $700 a year for comp/collision/liability on the 2000 i30 with $1000 deductibles. 31, married, pretty clean record.

I also carry an additional liability policy that costs me about $150 a year.

 

Yah, I don't know if youve been up to Wytopitlock its a heaven for bear and moose hunting (if you won the moose lottery, which i didn't) but my dad said something about not paying any property taxes for a car in maine?!?! The milrate in my city is like 27.5

 

I WISH there was no excise tax!!! You pay a significant excise tax when you register. The mil rate drops as the car ages, but it's pretty significant. I'd guess on a new car it's 23-25 mil rate.

 

congrats on your car being in a mag.. (i forgot what mag, was it sport compact car?) it was posted here a few days ago.. congrats!

 

Hey thanks man! It was v. cool, even if they spelled "Infiniti" AND my name wrong!!!

Yeh, it was SCC.

 

I couldn't imagine living in Maine or anywhere up there. TOO COLD!

 

Yeh New England winters can suck, but the summers are wonderful. It's great right now.

Where are you?

 

Too cold and there is like nobody living in that country its all empty...no offense to those who live in maine..i live in Boston

 

Well not all of Maine, where I go it is the boonies, but its cool for weekends and weekly gettaways nice and quiet, no cable, no telephone, barely analog cellular coverage, all pick-ups, ahh its the life :-)

 

Too cold? And you live in Boston? Dude I have exactly the same weather you do. I'm an hour from the north shore of Boston. How much weather difference you think there is??

All empty? You're thinking of, like, northern Maine. Not south coastal Maine, which I would point out is ten minutes from Massachusetts.

 

yeh, exactly, not all of Maine. Portland is a great little city. As I said in the last post, I'm an hour from North Shore Boston.

You guys are talking about the northern woods. Like six hours from here. I'm closer to New York City than I am those places...

Cell phone coverage from Portland south is excellent. Where are you going that there's no cable or telephone? The sticks, I presume.

Interesting facts: maine is the only state in the country with a 100% digital fiber optics from coast to coast.

Also Portland was the first city in the country to have high-speed cable modem access. Why? Great infrastructure. Who woulda thunk?
