2012 Least Expensive and Most Expensive Cars To Insure

In case you're getting into the mood to do some car shopping for 2012 , I thought I'd share the results of an annual study that lists the most and least expensive cars to insure. Most of the list probably won't surprise you much , it's just common sense that a V10 , 2 seater , $160 ,000 sports car should cost quite a bit to insure. But the list of least expensive may come in handy when you're out there deciding between a few different models.

If you've got the money for one of these top 20 most expensive cars to insure , you've probably got the money for the insurance as well. However , if you're on a budget (like most of us) and trying to keep insurance costs a little bit lower , give your local , professional agent a call when you're deciding between cars and find out which one will be the easiest on your pocket. There can be a big range in costs to insure those new vehicles you're thinking about. Make sure you factor the insurance cost into your decision!
