I would be willing to be it is something other than theft or medical considerations. I have a 9-5 sedan, and get a big discount for the alarm/anti-theft system and a discount off the regular medical coverage price for the safety of the car. It might be based on repair estimates, but there really isn't much of a history to look at. I would get a breakdown by car for collision, comprehensive, medical, liability, etc, and look at it from there to find out where the differences are. Good idea on the second opinion. I'm pretty suprised to see so much of a difference.
