What Car Should I Buy to Save on Car Insurance in Maryland?
Q: What sort of car should I buy if I want to save money on my Maryland SR-22 policy?
A: Well, I hope you aren’t attached to new, flashy, and expensive cars, because those three types are likely to send your rates going crazy if you decide to get a car in those categories. First off, any car you should insure with your Maryland SR-22 policy shouldn’t be brand new. Brand new cars cost more, and the older they are, the more you save. I had a 2007 car from June to December, and now from January to June my overall premium is going to be $120 cheaper than the last six months because my car is no longer brand new. If you get a certified pre owned car, it’s just like getting a new car, but cheaper to own and insure.
You also need to avoid getting big trucks or SUVs on your Maryland SR-22 policy, because these cause a lot of damage and so you will have to pay high rates on your liability insurance. The same logic goes for small cars, but for the opposite reason, because they can be easily damaged. You might have to sacrifice a little fuel economy for strength.
In the end, though, just get some quotes before you go to the lot on the cars you think you may want.
