insurance rates suck

Not that anyone should do this, but one could pick up a Geo Metro beater for a couple hundred bucks, insure that as thier primary vehicle and the Mustang as the secondary. The saving in premiums would pay back quick-like. I know a guy who was paying $110/month on a '01 Dodge Ram (full coverage). They wanted about $160/month to add the '87 Mustang he got (liability) so he insured the Mustang as the primary. Dropped the entire bill to $90/month even though the Stang sits in the garage all winter. Sometimes you need to be a little creative to get ahead.

Good idea on the geo thing. I pay $61/month for full coverage on my geo convertible. You can have some fun suping it up too. And if you think you can't, check out this video... Suzuki swift, no NOS, running turbo (suzuki swift is a geo metro). It's street legal and smog legal too.

I got a 94 Mustang GT Conv. and my insurance is $267 a month, that's about $1600 every 6 months. I have 1 wreck, 1 speeding ticket and I'm 19.

Also FYI, did you know that on Mustang GT's that convertibles are cheaper on insurance than hardtops?... Don't know why but at least with my insurance it is. Maybe it's because hardtops are more often turned into street rockets than convertibles for the rigidity.

you guys are depressing the crap out of me. I`m 40 and just bought my first 5.0 gt (an 88 5 speed ). I`ve got the wife`s minivan full coverage, my rodeo just enough to keep the piece of crap on the road and my popup camper all insured for $1100.00 a year. Then there`s the old 66 galaxie 500 registered as an antique which runs at $114.00 for the year. Perfect driving record for at least 10 years now.( i can`t believe i haven`t been caught yet!!! ). I can`t wait for spring because i feel that i`m gonna have some fun with this little car. I`m just afraid the speeding tickets will soon follow and in massachusetts we`re on a safe driver step system where one speeding ticket will add a point to your driving record plus a $99.00 insurance surcharge for the next 6 years. In the galaxie it seems the cops look the other way but in a mustang they`re hoping that you`ll punch it. Good luck to you younger guys. All good things come with time.

i think im gonna list my dads focus as primary and a mustang as a secondary to try and drive the prices down.
