Insurance Cost

How much do you pay for insurance?

This topic always brings people out of the woodwork, especially newbies.

Currently 258.40 PER MONTH. Ouch...

Yikes man!

2300 CDN per year (1875 USD)

My premium rose by over 100% when I moved into the city. I nearly shat myself...

My 1992 Prelude Si cost $700 per year in a small city.
When I moved to the Metropolitan area, $1300.
I sold the car after I realized that after 2 years, I would be paying more in insurance than the actual value of the car.

Ha! I've always lived in the city so my rates haven't doubled:p

Wait....that's not a good thing.....

Man this forums is dead.......

Man this forums is dead.......
The forums tend to pick up during the school breaks. Most people on now are working people.

On the forums i'm on its usually the opposite:D No one works everyone logs on :D

^^The Wellfare Forums?

I like having a smallish core group of good people here as opposed to a throng of utter retards. (ie: "You got a RSX? My frend he got Accord and smoke a RSX like it wasnt moving. RSX is suck, stoopid."). It should grow quickly around here within the next couple years, I would imagine- although most owners are probably lured away by CRSX. I was a moderator at a fledgling RSX site that tanked out about a year ago. Usually it was me, the other mod and the administrator shooting the shit. This is much better.

Yeah, when its small its more fun. Not like it matters because we have no active mods here, but like at the sticky in this forum.....no ot posts, no bumps, no old threads, nothing fun.....

Yeah- just read that. How can we not post-whore? There's nobody else here to respond. And no foul language?? Shit, motherfucker- that's gonna be fucking tough as shit, you know what I'm saying assholes?

Straight up, bitch.

I guess I should chime in here, but I don't use foul language like you two losers! :grinyes: :grinyes: Man, from Celine to Clay! You know what rhymes with Clay? :greddy2:

Anyways, yes it's nice to have a small group. I don't go to crsx much anymore unless I need some info. I've also been a bit busy myself and haven't posted around here lately.

As to the answer to the post $70/mo.

YAY! Party at Richard Simmons' house!!!

Wow!! With what you guys pay for insurance, I guess I'm in the wrong league here. I am thinking about buying an RSX, and I was wondering if you guys can tell me how satisfied you all are with your cars. I don't see many problem threads here like I do on OldmobileForums.com. :lol2:

Anybody have any issues with these cars?

Try checking this website,
http://www.alldata.com
It has a database of Factory Technical Service Bulletins and Recalls.

Thanks! But what I was really getting at was how reliable are RSXs? Based on your experiences.

Honda/Acuras are great for reliability, second only to Toyota/Lexus. I have yet to have a problem in my RSX, for a while I had the gear grind that many have, and now its gone:D Common problems:
2nd Grear grind (for which a technical service bulletin has been issued); cracking leather which many dealers will replace; the Bose sub doesn't have that much base, a TSB has all been issued for that, its just as simple as swapping a wire.

I have no complaints here, if I were going to buy a car again it'd either be an RSX-S or an RX-8 GT.

Yep. You really can't go wrong with Honda/Acura. I had a Civic EX in college that was still running perfectly at 200K when I sold it, my brother has an Integra with 185K and zero problems, and other than what Canuck mentioned, I can't complain about the RSX. Reliability is somewhat of a non-issue.

Thanks. That's what I thought. Sounds like all the other stories I have heard about Honda/Acura - since I didn't listen to my girlfriend and bought Oldsmobile. Did so partially to keep peace in my family; they worked for GM. Not anymore. I can't afford to give charitable donations to American car companies. Sad.

Amazing. 200,000 miles without problems. I'm headed for a used-car dealer tomorrow to look at a 2002 non-S-type with 36,000 miles. I am just praying that he gives me something for my Oldsmobile.

I just looked at Intellichoice - 5 year cost of ownership for Intrigue - $36,640; RSX - 25,952!!!! That includes depreciation, which is the killer - repairs were noticeably higher for the Intrigue, even though the parts should be less expensive for American car.

I will probably give my dad a heart attack and I won't be able to park it in his driveway. Oh well.

Good luck with the RSX purchase.

And about family loyalty to GM, just tell your dad it was too pricey, and let him drive the RSX :p

... I just looked at Intellichoice - 5 year cost of ownership for Intrigue - $36,640; RSX - 25,952!!!! That includes depreciation, which is the killer ...
Depreciation is usually the largest factor. However, if you keep any car long enough, they all depreciate down to $2,000 - $5,000 USD.

No matter which car you buy, make sure to drive it for at least 7 years in order to maximize your money.

Thanks all. Alldata can't provide Honda/Acura information. Seems Honda wants all control and $ for that information.

I bought the 02 non-S, blue/black, 5-spd. Sweet, sweet, sweet!!

You are right about driving the car for 7 years. Try doing that with a GM!! Maybe the older ones, or the trucks. I wish them well with their new cars; they've got a tough job ahead of them if they want to regain their market share.

uh oh...am I back? no way! after 2 weeks of final exams, a good week of no internet 2 weeks of work training I do NOTHING all day! so its like school all over again...as for the insurance my car is in my fathers name who is a 6 star driver with no accidents or speeding tickets on record...so I pay 1500 cdn a year...its a beautiful thing. plus my dad is best friends with his allstate agent. they go drinking any everything

nice car purchase paulkramer I wouldnt expect many problems out of her...my family as now sworn off buying Ford's and GM's for life...so its all imports baby! plus honda/acura provide the reliability of toyota/lexus but actually instill some fun in their cars (supra and mr2 excluded)

Congrats on the car paul, and nice colour :D

Christ...another ABP... :p

And CHRIST...Masons back...what up beotch? :biggrin:

Thanks, Canuck!! Mine's a little darker than yours, but still electric blue!! And I don't have the heated seats and mirrors like the Canadian models. What's up with that?! Don't they know it gets damn cold here in Michigan too!!??

Man I love this car!!!

ABP?! What's that!?

Nope, he has EBP (Eternal Blue Pearl) not ABP (Arctic Bue Pearl) but its still a blue. And not any of the colours with the word silver in them :p

Ahh...we needed one of those. How come nobody ever goes with *gurp* premium white? Sorry...just threw up in my mouth a little there...

Premium white looks good....:p especially the 2005.....

Speaking of 2005, look at the 2005 Ings ITR, IMO it looks really nice, better than the 05 Mugen. Its now one of my favourite RSXs....

White?! Only in Florida (or other hot place). And with that .....whatever it is - pearlescent stuff - seems only suitable for chicks.

It was a toss-up between blue and midlife crisis red (Firepepper Pearl) but that car was 250 miles and $1000 away.

I suspect I am better off with blue; it won't attract as much police attention as red!!

Blue and black seem to be the most common rsx colours...mabe I haven't seen anyone blind enough to pick white...or mabe it looked so bad I forced it out of my mind....either way I love the blue colour, and black ain't bad...

The white is a pearl just like the blues, black, firepepper and a few other colours. Looks like i'm the only on who like it, and actually silver and black are the most popular.

Oh man, that RSX looks nice. It could do without that nasty looking wing though. The color is a definite improvement over that ABP. You know how it is - SS or DSM all the way! I got your back 777!

You knew I couldn't pass this up could you canuk? :grinno:

^Word up homeslice. :cheers:

I have to say, I really like all of the colors except Milano red (yes- even ABP Canuck :biggrin: ). I guess the white isn't THAT bad- but I wouldn't want to own one. But anyway...the more I see RSXs in paulkramer's color, the more I like it. It looks almost black at night- so, best of both worlds. What would you think of a dark British racing green with tan leather?

Personally I prefer a black interior. And I like all of the exterior colours out there for the RSX. I'd even own a silver.
For 02-04 IMO its Blue, White, Black, Silver, Red, DSM and for 05 its White, Black, Orange, Blue, MagMet, Red, Silver.
