how do you pay insurence? my dad said that it would be 5000 dollors for me to drive a 7. i check and its about2100-2500 a yr. its not even 5k for an evo lancer. what do you guys pay?

 

He is trying to scare you out of having a sports car, my parents did the same thing.


I pay $1794 a year for my 2004 RX8, and my 1988 RX7 GTU.

Edit: And my price will soon be going down, as I am swapping the '88 GTU for my '85 GS.

Note: I'm 16.

 

when your dad says something like it's usually a clue for you that he just doesn't want to deal with you having future headaches w/ a car like the 1st gen.

you just have to read through the lines your dad's saying.

 

Adrock3217, You have an rx8 and your sixteen? Is it ours or your parents? God blessed you. I don't know what it'll will be like for 1 year, but my insurance is goig to be like $250 or something and i have to pay half. Thats for one month to let you know. I'm 15, but the insurance is in my dads name, so its way cheaper.

 

i can understand that but i have ajob and enuff money to where i can buy a ok 7 and fix what ever come up down the road. and this is the only car i want and i would probably keep it for a really long time

 

Ya, i can't wait to get a job so i can make money. - Kinda sounds weird. I also plan on keeping mine for a long time, like when i can barely drive anymore.

 

i turn 25 next month and i have only 2 points on my licence and i pay $92/month for my 7 and my camry.

 

Damn. I pay $110/month for 3 vehicles. Then again, I'm *slightly* over 25....... Had my license for 28 years....

 

my insurance was $110 per month when my 7 was still on the road. its a little over $80 a month for my p.o.s. topaz.

 

it depends on your insurance company, and where you live. Your occupation can also have an impact when you get older. also, insurance rates can fluctuate greatly from one year to another. and i think the difference generally falls on younger people to pick up the slack. when i was around 19 my insurace was around $190/mo then it went down to one 160 then back up. then down to around $125 when i was 22. that was with state farm. I switched to nationwide about a year ago and i have my volvo wagon and rx-7 for $116/mo. I'm 24 now.

 

Nah, It's mine. I work. :-P They financed it, of course...

 

Rogue_Wulff, you son of a bitch, you gave me good laugh.....slightly over 25, i love it, lol...

 

When I had my Jeep and my rx7 on the road at the same time I was only paying 88 dollars a month.

Now I am paying 47 a month for just my rx7.

I am 22 by the way.

 

Adrock3217, thats sweet. I know someday i'll get one in mint condition. That'll be way down the road tho.

 

LOL. Age is just a number. I'm too old to act my age.

 

I pay about 900 a year for 3 vehicles but I'm a bit older than 25.

Its all based on stats and the stats show that when your under 25 the odds that you'll cost the insurance company money are high, so they charge you a premium until you hit 25, get married, hit 35, have kids (that don't drive), hit 40, etc. Also, tickets will cost you as well.

When I was younger I shopped around each year to make sure I was always getting the cheapest insurance. If you don't have a loan you can just get the legal minimums and push your deductible up to like 500 bucks, that will make a huge difference.

With these cars collision/comp is not worth it because of their age. Over the year you'll end up paying more in insurance than the car is worth.

 

I'm 18, and I pay 480 a year for my 7 AND Jeep...

 

I'm 19 so my insurance rate hasn't dropped that much since I was 16.

I used to bay $600 something every 6 months when I was younger.

The easier to manage way to do it is to by monthly, its so much better to now pay $100 a month instead of getting a $600 bill every few months.

 

I'm 23 (be 24 in a lil over a month) and I pay less than $600 a year for my 85 FB. Its Farmers Insurance.

 

I work for an Allstate agency in texas got bored one day I ran a quote for myself, turned out to be 70.43 for six months on my 85 GSL. Mind you thats with Liability only set at 20/40/15(state minimum) I don't see much reason to set it higher or have the other coverages because insurance companies will not pay what I have invested in it if it's wrecked. Better to take what I can get and start fresh. Really, it all depends on your record. Here if you can prove six months of previous insurance and you don't hit every car you see, you can get a pretty good rate.

First post too by the way(newbie)

 

when i had it insured it was 197 a month with geico.....but i had like 3 tickets.....im 19 im paying less for an 01 civic that i dont want....never asked for it but my parents insisted i take it over teh 7......im very sad. but in a few months the 7 will be on the road again with new paint and a new interior. and then we will see how much i have to pay again.

 

Im 22 with a clean record. For liability only on my 79 it is $107 for 6 months

 

im 19 and my insurance is under my parents account. i pay around $350 every 6 months for liability on my 85 GSL. it was the same for my old DD, 94 accord. i plan on dropping it to the state minimum though and getting it a little lower. i have to insure my 80 soon. i plan on shopping around at that time to see if i can get a better rate, but i doubt ill leave from being under my parents.

also, i have a clean driving record. i have kept a 27 over ticket completely off my record. had a wreckless driving ticket changed to a parking ticket, expensive parking ticket. i have to go to court this friday to use the system to screw the system to keep a 15 over ticket off my record. the odd thing, i got all the tickets in my all stock accord. never got a ticket in any of my rx7s. hondas are cop magnets here.

 

20 years
and
130 a month for either car I own (rx7 and blazer)

and its going to go up from a negligent 2 ticket going on my record in a few months.

 

I'm 17 and pay about 2200 a year for mine. And yes, I pay for it. It sucks, but it's worth it.
