My dreams are crushed...
Hi. I've been wanting to get an RX-8 for years now and have been browsing this forum for a while. I have found a good deal on an 05 RX-8 in winning blue. I also just talked to my insurance company.... it will cost about $400/month to insure this bad boy
I live in the Grater Vacouver region, have been driving for 4 years, 1 ticket and was recently in an accident that I am not at fault for. I knew I would be paying more than for my 04 Sunfire but didn't realize it'd be this much.
Well, I'm done my whining. Good day.

Id agree with the others.... check out some other insurance companies.

Guys, in B.C., the only and best price you can get is ICBC... You can go through different brokers, but you get the same basic price.. It's kind of like a monopoly. You guys down south have a few more choices 
I'm in Surrey, Matt! I pay about $5K a year for insurance, but its worth it to me!
The car's awesome.

That's to much
I pay a little over 500/6mo. full coverage with all the goodies
But I am 29 with a clean sheet.
The ticket and the accident may hold you back no matter where you look for Ins.
Nonetheless, good luck

Alberta is pretty bad for insurance too... I'm paying 450 a month for the 09 R3 I'm picking up tomorrow. I'm 20 too, hopefully It goes down a bit when I turn 21

When I found my rx8, first thing I did was called up a insurance agent and got a quote. I was 23, had two tickets (One was speeding and one for missing a red light) I only got my US license about a year ago. Prior to that I had a international license as I am from India. First quote I got was about $3200 for 6 months, but I wanted the rx8 so bad, i tried at-least 15-20 different agents and guess what in a span of 1 week, I got a deal for $460 for 6 months with a deductible of 500. So dont give up yet. There is always someone who will give you a good deal, it is a matter of patience and some persistence. Good luck.
