The most expensive cars to insure in Maine

Maine has on average the lowest auto insurance rates in the country, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t cars that will cost you a pretty penny to insure.

Insure.com ranks the states with most expensive auto insurance, as well as the most expensive cars to insure. The data is based on car insurance quotes for a hypothetical driver (a single, 40-year-old male driver with good credit and a clean record who commutes 12 miles a day) gathered from six of the largest insurance carriers — Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm. Rates were compiled in December 2012.

Without further ado, here are…
