$1400 a year 100/300/100. $500 coll. $250 comp. Called around everywhere this was the best deal I could find. State Farm. I get an extra 10% off because my renters is through them.
Benzo -- $800 per year, I'm green with envy. Guess this once again proves is it's financially insane to live in the Bay Area.

They just raised insurance rate at least 10% for major metropolitan areas because of 9/11
Boo2, what I would do is, keep your record clean and get a beater japanese car or use your mom's old car listed as "daily driver" and your C32 as "weekend driver"
C32 already has lower insurance rate than a M3. I paid $1150 for 3 cars and listed my 95 Civic EX as daily diver. It ended up my 02 C230K and 91 MR2 turbo as $300 each for 6 months. Cant believe cars with 11 years old have the same rate as my brand new C230K

Guys, at least most of you are paying insurance for just yourselves. I've got 4 cars and 2 under 25 drivers. I pay megabucks for insurance for everyone.
My C230, which I drive, is my cheapest car; $369/6 month. MD/DC, outside the beltway (locals know what that means) full coverage (100,100,300), more than 7K mi/yr. Allstate with multiple policy discount, good driver, no accidents. I quess there is an advantage to growing older.

Insurance Rates in Canada
are a big RIP OFF! After seeing what you guys down south pay, I only wish I could move back down to the States. My brother who owns a Z3 roadster in KY dishes out one third of what I pay in Canada for my C230K coupe. He's only one year older than me! If anyone wants to see what your rates would be in Canada you can have a good laugh by inputting your data into "insurancehotline.com" http://www.insurancehotline.com
My current rate is around 1780$ CD /yr. This was the best rate I could find, even with a "six star" driving record and paying for insurance since 1981! LOL!
Question for Canadian coupe owners. What insurance rates are you guys paying for your coupes in Canada?

well, i had progressive... but all this talk about insurance made me check out allstate. at first, they gave me a story about considering Progressive a sub-standard co. and that it will inhibit me getting their Preferred Rate (whatever that is...) and that they'd need to do a credit check blah blah blah... i said, go ahead, do your checking and just give me a quote...
few hours later, she calls back very nicely and says, $658!!! what the... well, sign me up! 
but their home insurance is still higher than our state farm policy (even w/ the discount for having both...)
