 20 year perfect record (not even a parking ticket)...$1500 (full coverage) 
 on a $7000 sunfire, 12 year perfect record...$1800 on a $6,000 mustang 6 
 cyl, 8 Year perfect record $1200 on a $9000 Ford minivan. Thats the 3 around 
 my desk. My own with a similar record  is about $1300 on a $6000 Pontiac. 
  
 20%-25% is close enough for guestimate in the under-$10,000 car value 
 market. Anybody that spends more than 10G on transportation, regardless of 
 income, IMHO, needs thier head examined. At that point its more advantageous 
 to take taxi's and limo's. Come to think of it, ANYBODY who would take an 
 instant 30% loss of value for the "privelage" of buying new probably needs 
 financial counciling.
