Actually got my insurance , reduced to $900 for 6 months on all three cars,
limits $100k/$300k across the board, $100 deductable comp. and $250 deductable collision., free road and extended waranty on 1 car.

Dropped extended waranty on the Z as I got it from nissan.

Heres a comparison I just did today thru the top 3 companies apples for apples.

For the same 3 cars
Geico $1018
Allstate $1680
State Farm $1575

Your high rate quote from Geico was probably due to you living in NYC, it has some of the worst drivers, car thefts and vandalism in the country, one way you could save a lot is if you got a UPS mail box about 100 miles outside NYC and used that for your driving and insurance address or a friends or relatives address outside NYC. I used to live in a small little country setting in NYS and my insurance was only $1000 a yr. for 3 cars.

You also get 3 insurance reductions thru out your life, one benefit of aging 25yrs, 35yrs, 45-50 you will see it go down, also drops if you are married. You probably even get a lower one when when you reach your late 50-60's as long as you have no major accidents.

There are a lot of 370zs' in vegas, I got my 2012 370z manual base sport package for $33,000, planet nissan in vegas, its a short drive from LA and you can save thousands. California seems to sell a lot of cars at a premium. In a big city its best to avoid the high price upper class suburban dealerships. I bought 3 new cars in the last 6 months and couldn't get a good at the classier dealerships, no matter what brand.

When I went to the downtown or lower level dealers ships they tended to offer better deals beacuse of their target audience and location, most sold the cars at dealer invoice and were really ready to bargain.

So on the west coast Planet Nissan in vegas in the best to buy a car from, and on the east coast close to NYC and most cites, is Mike Barneys Nissan in Amherst NY close ito Buffalo, ask for Mark Sadray, Best Salesman I ever dealt with, real decent guy and will bargain with you to sell you a car at a price you both are happy with.

Wow, that's a great price! But like I said, I cannot register a new car from outside of California.
