If any one here owns a plane in NJ or North-East in general (as a private
owner, for personal use only), could you give me an approximate figure of
what you pay annually for insurance?

I pay $1,280 a year for a policy on an 8 year old Maule with $65k hull
insurance. Even as a low time pilot, you should be able to do better than
that for a 172 valued at $30k.

I second the others who have suggested calling an agent. My broker is
Chris Wolbert. His number is 301-682-6200. I have asked for and gotten
"ball park" quotes from him before on aircraft in which I was interested,
so he will probably be happy to help you out. He usually can get you a
good deal when you do buy too.
