ok, so i normally dont do this but...

NO. the difference is that you can't stuff an a4 motor or nsx motor into an eg so easily. the theft is what has caused the integra rates to be so rediculous. I could actually insure an nsx cheaper than my itr. :/

Nope.. Speedminded is right.. My Porsche insurance is LESS than my insurance on my Honda prelude.. That is because insurance companies go by statistics and that there are a lot more 19 yr olds crashing their honda preludes than 19 yrs crashing a 911..

And you base this on what? Where are your #'s man?

I'm going on facts - look at the top 10 cars stolen since... oh 94 or so and see how many a4's, porsche's, or nsx's on that list. What model dominates that list year after year?

It's a combination of everything. Accidents to theft.

With 100+ more horsepower my Z32 300zx insurance was cheaper than my 1989 Acura Integra insurance, ever seen a 1st gen Integra on a top stolen cars list?

Mustangs have high insurance rates and you don't see them a top ten stolen list.

The '89 Toyota Camry was the #1 stolen car in America for years and it's rates weren't really effected.

My Integra is a 2001. I challenge you to find a list that has a 2000 or 2001 Acura Integra on it. 94-99 yes, 2000-01 no. OBD2b's have immobilizers but it's not like that really effects anything regarding stealing them lol!

To the OP, sorry for going so off topic.


SM:

Do you work in the insurance field? Let's just say I don't anymore.
It sounds like you know a little bit about the subject, so I won't go into the law of large numbers.

The reason more 94-99 integra's were stolen compared to 00-01 is simple: there were more produced over that 6 YEAR SPAN than say the last two production years.

You will find the top seller cars for any given period ranked very highly on the stolen cars list also. Why? Well it's simple - there aren't too many people hotrodding around in camrys (or SUV's this year) but those parts are easy to get rid of on ebay, craigslist, or just to anyone - because chances are a camry that needs a replacement parts is just around the corner with all the thousands of them sold.

Mustangs don't have artifically high insurance rates, imo. They have had plenty of people wrecking them, etc. Not to mention there are so many mustangs driving around that a stolen one would be easy to take the motor and wheels, seats, etc out of and pawn off on another needy mustang owner.

z32 cheaper to insure than a 1st gen integra? Not to nitpick, but what firm offered you better rates on a z32 over a 1st gen integra? You do know that was a very popular model - hence why there went on to be 2nd and 3rd gen here in the US?
