Nissan GT-R is America's most expensive car to insure
The Nissan GT-R may be running rings around its competition in terms of its seemingly impossible lap times at the Nurburgring, but disgruntled rival Porsche may finally have something to poke in the GT-R's face - the fact that the Nissan is the most expensive new car in the U.S. to insure.
http://www.motorauthority.com/conten...14-630x360.jpg Using insurance quotes for a 40-year-old male driver, insurance website Insure.com has compiled a list of the twenty most expensive vehicles to insure, as well as the twenty cheapest vehicles, with surprise honors going to the Godzilla - insuring the ‘affordable’ supercar will cost punters $2,533 every year. According to Insure.com, the reason the GT-R features so prominently is because of the fact that customers will buy the car for its speed and power, and they will be more likely to be involved in serious crashes. Other vehicles that get lumped into this group include the Dodge Viper, which ranked as the second most expensive vehicle to insure ($2,446/year) and the third-ranked BMW M6 ($2,236). High-performance vehicles such as the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, the BMW M5, the Lexus IS F, the Jaguar XK and the BMW M3 also made the top 20 list for the most expensive vehicles to insure. Other categories where a clear correlation between vehicle class and insurance cost arose was that of luxury SUVs, such as the Mercedes G-Class, the Hummer H2, the Land Rover Range Rover, the Cadillac Escalade and the BMW X6 all making appearances in the top 20. At the other end of the spectrum were smaller and cheaper vehicles that didn't offer much in the way of power but were big on safety. Interestingly, the five cheapest cars to insure were all from South Korea, with Hyundai and Kia featuring multiple entries in the cheapest five vehicles to insure. Meanwhile, minivans seems fairly cheap to insure also, with the Honda Odyssey, the Chrysler Town & Country and the Dodge Grand Caravan all featuring on the list for cheapest vehicles to insure.

Re: Nissan GT-R is America's most expensive car to insure
Hi,
furtunately cost of insurance isn't the same everywhere. My neighbour bought Nissan GT-R two month ago, and we talked about cost of insurance a couple of days ago;] He paied about 1,900. Maybe his ages (55y) was the reason for lower cost. |
Re: Nissan GT-R is America's most expensive car to insure
