My CSAA (Cal State Auto Assn) insurance cost for full coverage was quoted 1,250 per yr...

Is that as an only car, or with multiple cars? The cheapest my agent could find as an only car was $1600 per 6 months.

That's with maximum liability coverage, collision and comprehensive, with $1000 deductible.

For comparison, a '99 Miata with the same coverage is $380 for 6 months.

Maybe I'll call up CSAA, since I am a member now.
