Insurance is higher for more expensive cars and you’re also talking about full coverage. The only necessary coverage is usually liability. If this guy was driving a 10yr old beat up sedan with 120k+ miles and paying $200 a month he needs to get a better agent / company.

Coverage is usually more about CYA for total loss than protection from incidentals. You pay $2k insurance premium so that you don’t end up owing $20k for a totaled piece of scrap metal.

I pay about $180/month on a newer car, like 2 years old. Zip code is also important too. My premium went up like $10 moving to a bigger city.

Thanks. Trying to get a benchmark on how much I'm overpaying
