Something just occured to me...
Being 17 and all, I must consider insurance... On the Zeds it was only $120 a month of so. Non-Turbos...
How much do you think it will be for a Twin Turbo Five Speed GTO?
... Uh Oh

full coverage or liability only? if it's liability only the insurance is the same no matter what car you drive.
what state do you live in? how's your driving record?

A LOT! But premiums are different everywhere and you could always get discounts. Gateway is our insurance guy here so he should be able to tell you better. But a 17 year-old with a VR4 = no money for college. ;o/ Well, not exclusively but it'll be hard I think....I have a '94 SL and feel like I'm dying. :p

lol I pay about $200/month for an SL and i'm 19, but your payments seem low to me for a similar car and being younger! So it'll probably be reasonable, just go to an insurance agency (like AAA, they're who I use because they give good discounts on insurance) and tell them to see what a few different cars would cost you to get a general feeling of the price spread, I asked about an SL VR4 camry and civic and the biggest difference was about $75/mo. But thats in eastern MA.

MA doesn't count for insurance benchmarking. Their rules are so f*cked up. Good for the consumer, bad for the insurer.

Lol so I've noticed, kida sucks though that wherever you go it's the same price. Whats wierd is Geico and others run their ads in MA yet don't operate in the state, kida wierd.

Let me tell you what to look forward to paying. I am 22 with a clean driving record in meaning no speeding tickets nothing. Ok I pay for a 96 3000Gt for Idaho is $1000/6months which is ridiculous since I am 22 and have a clean driving record. I am considering changing companies cause I feel like I am getting ripped.

full coverage for me with a clean record would have been 220 a month.

Haha, I'm 21, clean record, $1000 deductible, took defensive driving, and have a few other discounts, costs me $1500/6 months through Progressive in NY.

wow they just hate on people who like sports cars. Not fair at all I think they should actually look at the customers record before charging so much i mean good safe drivers deserve good rates.

They first quoted me 2,500/6 months, after lots of arguing and plenty of discounts, I got it lowered

what state do you live in ?
also it doesn't matter who owns the car, whoever is the driver is who is rated for on the vehicle.

North Carolina... And how would they be the wiser to who was driving it?
Its not as if the damn agency has PI's to investigate the integrity of their consumers... At least I hope not :p

well if you tell them that your dad is driving, then yeah, they'll rate your dad on the car, and the rate will be super cheap.

Well my parents called their agency today... They said what you said... Liability doesnt vary from car to car. So my insurance will only be $120 a month. Not bad for a kid.
Also, they're putting me on comprehensive just in case... It is a rare car after all.
Thanks again,

cant you get your parents to get the insurance on themselves and not mention you in like AAA, and you still will be covered if you have 2-way. thats what happen to me when i was 16. wrecked my car my fault and they still covered. or 21st century i heard is good.
