I couldn't get an insurance quote on neither of the IS's because they were "too new". Without the VIN on hand, the insurance company gave me a guesstimate of $599/six months as the "highest" possible premium for the IS 250. I later obtained a VIN off an IS 250, but still couldn't get a firm quote because "the VIN is not in our (insurance) system yet."... and the same max quote of $599 was given to me. The full-coverage quote was based on clean driving records, and multiple-car discounts.

I was paying $328 for six months for my IS300 (2001) and now I'm paying $331.00 for six months for my 2006 IS350.
Depending on your driving record, age, multiple vehicle discount, home owners discount and deductible, your rates will vary, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out my rate only increased by $3.00 for six months.

How old are you guys? I want to find out as well. My insurance is pretty light with my ES (considering my age) because I've had a clean record since I was 16.

I have a 2003 Grand Cherokee V8 4x2 in Socal. I think i pay @$1100 per year but its gonna go up close to $400 per year on an is350. I have a clean driving record and i'm 31yrs old. They quoted me for the is300 as they didnt have the new numbers so i added a little for the 350. i was surprised that it would go up that much, definitely must consider it a sportscar. i wouldnt think the change would be that dramatic compared to a v8 SUV. the quote for the gs300 had it going up @ $175 per year. definitely something to think about.

I was quoted from Nationwide 2324 for 6 mo with 500 deductible...
But I'm 22 and have had 3 minor speeding violations in the past 5 years. If you are still in school you can try to get a good student discount, you need above a 3.0 gpa. I've tried other companies but 2000 is the cheapest i could find. I looked up other types of cars, and the GS, ES, RX were all atleast 500 cheaper for 6 mo.
