The stang is an amazingly well priced machine at 412hp within 50grand, but then just wondering how much is the insurance jump on it...

Believe it or not. $60 a year. That's it.

Mind you, consider that I'm 44, clean record, no accidents, and I get a multi-vehicle discount (I have 4 cars); both cars are not my official "work cars".

The Focus was $1310 a year (full coverage; but I just took collision off of it), the Mustang is $1370. The beauty of the Mustang is that I'm only insuring it for the road half the year (May-Oct) and I pay comprehensive for the full year in case something happens in storage. So the bill is about $750 a year.

The reason for the cost isn't much higher on the Stang is because even though it's much more expensive, is that compared to the Focus it fares better in accidents, protects the occupants better, and the average new Mustang owner is much older than the average Focus owner, so there are less accidents per.
