Yeah, $400 per month is too much to spend.

Re: Insurance is such a b*****!

if you're 17 and have the money to buy a mustang gt, chances are that you've got the money for the insurance. my accord is 2400 per year, canadian so just over 2k american.

if you can't afford the insurance, then you can't afford the car.

Excellent point. There's more to the cost of driving than just the vehicle cost.

I knew a guy in college, all he wanted was a Porsche. He finally scrimped and saved up enough of a down payment so he could afford the payments. But then he couldn't drive it, he had no money for either gas or insurance. I think he tried to keep it for about 6 months or so, then had to sell it.

Rates aren't exactly going down anyway! mine just went up. I haven't had any tickets or accidents, there was just a rate increase What does a 17 year old need with a Mustang GT anyway??? All you're gonna do is get yourself into trouble. You might think otherwise, but it'll happen. You'll be at the stoplight and decide that you have to show off to the import next to you and you'll speed off ...get pulled over...ticket...rate increase...

Re: Insurance is such a b*****!

yeah speeding tickets hurt.... some more than others. i got lucky, i'm with the same company as my parents (my plan, my car, they pay for both, it's safer for them if i get into an accident) so since we've got both my sisters on the same company and both my parents we get decreased rates. i got a 4pt ticket (clocked at 159kph, the cop droped it to 130 in a 100 zone) and my insurance went up 15%, not as much as some people i know though. a friend of mine would have to pay $12,000 per year because of his two accidents.

Re: Insurance is such a b*****!

My trans am was $265 a month. Thats part of the reason I sold it and I am 20 years old. Driving a cavalier now and its $103. Worth it to me, I didn't *need* the trans am that much.

'93 Lumina and '99 lumina LTZ: $642 for 6 months. You can save a lot of money by paying the amount in full rather than paying a little each month.

Don't count on that either. I have allstate they told me around age 28 my rates will drop a bit. I have multiple cars on my policy that does reduce the cost a little. If you're 17 you are still in high school right? They have a discount at most insurance companies if you are a good student. I had a decent average in school so I had a 20% discount. Take advantage of it if you can.

Re: Insurance is such a b*****!

Mazda 323, 90$ a month for a 18 year old...Do the math. Get a small cheap car, it pays for itself. GP was nice, but mazda payes for itself.

Re: Insurance is such a b*****!

Yea I was told around 21 your rates drop. So like that's murder $12K!!! You can drive a Viper for that much at 17. LOL But no I didn't make the average grade in school to get the insurance discount. But I figure now it would be better for me to just have the Cavalier and pay $2500 a year. Mustang is $4000 + a year here in suckie NJ. So figure when my rates go down at 21 then I get a nice car. And with the stop light I just go to Raceway park my local strip and have a nice time go'ing fast.
