yeah, but 1. thats with multiple vehicle discounts, we have our 05 yukon and 05 sierra on there as well
and 2. you should still shop around and get quotes cause we didnt even check, my dad was just liek okay we have nationwide, you do too.

and yeah ive been there, i love it
of course its not big liek greensboro but its so fun just to hang out there
i need to go again sometime

I am from NC too. The insurance company told me the price for mine wouldnt really change between a pinto and a vette but a few dollars. They said because i was under 19 at the time it would be high no matter what.

Is that the best deal you can find? Personally I think it is possible you could find a sweeter deal butif thats the best then def jump all over it, paid $4,500 for mine with 70,xxxx some miles on the engine, as far as insurance I have no idea i'm not anywhere near NC sry.....good luck.
