out of curiousity i called state farm today to see how much my insurance premiums would be on an 04 rx8 on my own primary driver. clean record everything no accidents or records. driving school certificates and everything. i got a quote of over 1100$ A MONTH!

thats insanity.

im sure its different if i register under the same insurance company as my parents but still thats disguisting..

 

1100 a MONTH? On an 04?!!

How old are you? Which province?

Something went wrong with the quote.. you'll pay more in insurance in a year than you would for the car :\

 

18 ontario

 

So what is that in American dollars?

600 bucks eh?

 

It won't be any different unless you lie and say you are a secondary driver which is a no no

 

I am 17, and I am paying like.. 120 a month for full coverage insurance. You sure it wasn't a yearly rate?

 

Insurance is a way cheaper in the us. Less government interference.

 

no she said over 1100 a month...
im gunna find a way around it when i get my baby

 

Didnt you already have a thread on this?

Wait... there is a place where the government interferes MORE than in the US?

 

our government is actually really loose compared to most countries.

 

WOW !! thats over 12,000 a year !! WTF !!!

 

well that's why most kids our age don't have cars, the insurance itself in a year or two would cost almost as much as a car. The expenses of owning a car are ridiculous in Ontario, JUST because of insurance. The 8 makes it worse since it a gas guzzler AND has costly maintenance. Still 1100 is WAY too high; isn't state farm pretty expensive though? have you tried belair? or TD? try getting an online quote somewhere.

edit: sorry, when i say most kids our age don't have a car, i mean most kids our age aren't capable of getting a car and covering the costs of keeping it on the road by themselves. There are obviously tons of parents who'd spoil their kids with BMWs and Audis when they (the kids) haven't even worked a single job in their entire life.

 

avoid State farm. I have been a loyal customer of theirs ever since I got my first car, and up till resently I have had my rx8 and my pick-up with them. then a few weeks ago, because of a late payment, they increased my rate, for the car only, over $4000 a year to $7000. I am now with TD insurance and my rates are back down to a reasonable price

It's true, especially in the Province of Ontario where the Provincial government is a socialist overbearing, save you from yourself, we know better then the general public, bleeding heart bunch on Liberal fucktards.

<did I say that out loud?

 

yeah i just called out of curiousity my parents are with td so if i get the car im gunna end up in their policy which im sure will be less then half. especially if i primary another car that isnt mine. and shady yes i did but i just wanted to share the crazy quote i recieved.

any tips on the clutch or anything i know its right at the bottom.
