	Try Geico or Liberty Mutual.  For me they are up to 50% less
	than most companies.

	One trick that works to reduce insurance rates is owning two
	cars.  This qualifies for a "multi-car discount".  In some
	cases, the insurance for two cars is cheaper than for one!
	Example:  I once looked at buying a $26K Lincoln Mark VII LSC.
	This car would cost me $1250 per year to insure with the same
	coverage mentioned in the base note (I am 28).  However, I
	own a 1975 Camaro as well, so the combination of the two cars
	each with the same coverage would have run me $950 per year.

	The VW Sirocco is not viewed politely by some insurance folks.
	Perhaps different companies view it in different light.

	I must admit, I am amazed at the rates you are paying for a VW.
	Perhaps this part of the country sports lower rates (Oregon)?

	Good luck - test drive that $200 Rambler...
