Thumbs down Insurance

For me to be a secondary driver, with only liability, and under 5000km a year, it would cost 3000 to insure an 88 Camaro Z28!! Thats nuts.
For a 91 Eagle Talon (same conditions as above), it would be $1000. A 323 GTX is $980, and a 89 MR2 Supercharged is 1100!
So no Camaro's for me

A Camaro classifies as a sports car. You can do what I did and buy an old man car. I got an 88' Diplomat, dropped in a fresh 360, some leather seats from a New Yorker and a fresh suspension all for about 3000$. Cheap insurance, and I can stomp any Camaro or Mustang out there!

Yeah, I'm planning on getting something the world regards is crappy, then making it fast. I'm really looking for an MR2 Supercharged or Mazda 323 GTX (both are only available from 88-89). 2-3 grand, and they are simply awesome! And insurance is cheap

Have you done some shopping around? And are you under 20 or something? I insure my two VR4s (one being the Spyder), Dodge Shadow and Delorean for less then 3000 a year. Actually its a bit less then 2000 and its full coverage on all of them. (except the delorean is storage for the winters)

I got quotes from 6 or 7 differnet places. Some were nearly twice what the cheapest was (the site I used was a non-insurance site, it is for Canadian consumers, and the site is www.kanetix.com )

Yes, I'm under 20. I am almost 16 (I just pretended I was to get quotes)
