These Are The Cheapest And Most Expensive Cars From 2006 To 2016 To Insure

By  Kristen Lee

When shopping for a new car, you first have to decide whether you want to buy new or used. And because cars have steadily been increasing in quality over the last decade or so, buying a car that's 10 years old isn't a huge risk anymore. The next step is insurance. What's cheap and what's expensive to insure?

Insurance resource company Insure.com recently released a list of cars from 2006 to 2016 that it found to be the least and most expensive to insure. It compiled this list by comparing rates through using an identical driver profile for all the cars "at six major insurance carriers in multiple ZIP codes in each state and the District of Columbia."

The company pointed out that, "used vehicle sales at dealerships have increased for seven years straight, with the majority (57%) of used models sold being six to 10 years old, according to the National Independent Auto Dealers Association." Hence this range of model years studied.

Below, you can see their findings and the average annual nationwide rates for full coverage.
