I'm an insurance agent in South Florida which has some of the highest rates in the country.  I just wrote a policy for a couple in their early 50s with the same exact coverage as quoted by Forbes for their 2007 Mercedes S550 that was $483 for a 6 month policy.  So yeah, definitely check with your insurance agent before believing Forbes.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jordan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2007 2:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Like Luxury Cars?

I'm 28, which would lead me to believe that I would be in a high risk demographic.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fumanku]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2007 2:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Like Luxury Cars?

I have a BMW worth 50k, my insurance is only $3000/year, with $1 million in coverage to protect my business.  Forbes better hire a fact checker before putting out garbage like this...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2007 2:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Like Luxury Cars?

Especially #6.  I dont care how much you're spending, how many items you have to reduce the total of insurance or how good your credit is, a 20 year old cant full coverage  for $200/month per car, even for a mustang with no moving violations.   Insurance companies aren't that stupid.<br><br>I'm calling the bluff]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Evan Labbe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2007 4:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Like Luxury Cars?

I pay 1950 eur/year on insurance. I think Forbes is counting in some sort of African currency.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lord Snooty]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 22nd 2007 10:28AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
