A: Good question. When you have an old car, you have to take into consideration a couple of things. First of all, what kind of safety features does it have? Even the basics such as seat belts and air bags will save you money, but if you can have anti lock disc brakes installed as well, that’s another good step.

Second of all, how much is it worth? Check Kelley’s Blue Book and see. If your car values less than a thousand dollars, then it’s time to cut off the fat. A thousand dollar car doesn’t need comprehensive or collision insurance, and you can get by fine with just the minimum liability. Otherwise, you’ll be spending more each year on your supposedly cheap SR22 auto insurance than you would get back if you just sold the thing.

A: Cheap SR22 insurance is a relative concept, so I guess it depends. What you can do is knock down your current premium price by looking into certain money saving options provided by your insurance company. Even a sports car owner can take advantage of these opportunities.

One big importance is the safety of your vehicle. Most new cars come equipped with the latest safety gear, but with sports cars you need to be extra careful since they’re more dangerous. Anti theft devices are also key, especially if you have comprehensive coverage, because a sports car is more likely to get stolen.

If you can find a car club (try looking in car magazines for listings) for your vehicle, become a member. Not only will you increase your knowledge, but you will also save money on your SR22 insurance. With all of these discounts, there’s no reason for you to be paying top dollar on your car insurance coverage.
