Opinion Needed
This may be a little off topic, so I will apologize to the mods ahead of time.
The '97 Talon Tsi is getting to be too expensive. Paying $300 a month just for insurance isn't fun when you're going to school and have other bills to bay also. So i have been looking into an 1g talon. I found this one on autotrader and was wondering what you guys think. Any thoughts/opinions are appreciated. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...or=&cardist=13

Re: Opinion Needed
wow, 300 a month? that's insane, i pay 225 every 6 months... it looks like a decent ride, but if you are wanting to save up on insurance, you will need to get a different type of car.... an older type of car, and make sure it is a genuinely safer car to really rack up on insurance savings.

First of all that looks like a great ride, but I don't think your going to save much on insurance by getting the same car, your going to want to get quotes on a bunch of cars that sute your fancy. Also what is the reason for it being so high? I live next to Boston and am 19 with a 3000GT SL and I pay 200/month.

Re: Opinion Needed
just the fact that someone has a turbo costs money, my friend had a 98 GS-T and paid 1500 every 6 months, which comes to be 275 or so a month, if you want cheap insurance, get something u can afford to lose, a nice 1g turbo that has a working motor but looks like crap will give you better return bcuz u can beat it up w/o remorse and put liability on it and replace it when times comes, liability is soooooo much cheaper that or find a diff. insurance place

Re: Opinion Needed
I checked out the car tonight...
It wasn't anything special. The owner took me for a ride in it and my car pulls quite a bit harder than this one. I think it's only running half a bar of boost. He said that the boost is so low because of the fmic. The interior is basically gutted. The back seats are gone and there are 2 pretty uncomfortable sparco seats up front. The a/c is gone too. The owner even told me that the car was build pretty much as a race car. So I told him that the car is nice, but it's not what i'm looking for, and we went out seperate ways.

Yeah dude get an 86. Try and find the hatch though cause IMO they look better and you might like it if you see it. Good luck with the car thing. I have the same problem. Trying to find a cool car with low insurance.

Re: Opinion Needed
Your insurance is insane. I am 17 and looking for a 1999 Ford Mustang GT and was quoted at like 176/month. I know your car is a turbo car....but 300 is insane. Might want to shop around for a new insurance company as opposed to a new car. Unless you have tickets on your record.
