Shopping for car insurance...anybody got a guy?

[Ron Vogel]

Usually not a problem for me since I'm almost 50 with a perfect record...but I have a 17 year old that drives ...last year our insurance almost tripled. With Progressive right now.

I don't let the 17 year old drive the 535xi...and that's where the big cost is.

Looking to talk with an agent, open to suggestions.

Angela will get you the best rates you can.


But...BMW's are expensive to insure in general. Due to theft, body repair, and part costs. Add a 17 year old to the policy and I bet it gets ridiculous.


And I am not sure if you can, but if you can get only specific people on a specific car that may help a lot. Angela will answer questions and do the best she can for you.

Weird, I didn't find BMW's to be all too costly.

The few 5 series variant's I've sent STF for quotes while Ive been hunting have been less than my truck.

I have had a few buddies say the same thing. They are also newer cars. Yours is how old? Maybe that has something to do with it?

My 2009 335xi is/was more expensive to insure than my 2011 GT, 2015 GT, and 2007 911 Turbo. WTF is that all about? lol I can imagine the 2011 GT. But a brand new 2015 GT when the BMW was 6 years old already and worth much less than the GT? And the Porsche? Makes no sense.



Obviously Ron's issue in not the cars as much as it is a 17 year old driver.

I said ones i've sent for quotes. My 17 year old one is pretty reasonable with the coverage I carry.

Last I checked in august was a 2013 535i and it was less than my 2013 3500 gas sierra.



who knows. they make up the rules as they go.
