I just switched to Geico for the E0. They beat State Farm by 43%. So now yearly I'm paying $1700 instead of $3180.

Now I can afford the cellphone I want, the sirius radio, and a relationship!

i dunno that still sounds pretty high, I am about to pay about $1900 for the year for two cars and I am just turning 25, and I will get a dividend check also ... yeah Amica

funny how when I looked for insurance most companies said about $1700 but that was only for 6 months

, Geico included

I'm only 20 as of right now. They said in December when I turn 21, it should drop a bit more. Either way though...$1700 a year is amazing compared to the $3180.

im 17 and have state farm. i took every insurance reduction class, took drivers ed, everything i possibly could. and i pay 1700 for 6 months

I'm pretty sure it's because you're 17. Although I will admit that I respect you for paying that much money at 17. I think I had a '97 Hyundai and I paid like $98 a month. I couldn't even begin to imagine $283. Again, props to you for doing it for the SVT.

lol, thanks man. my job basically pays for my car. thats it. 40+ hours a week. gas, insurance, and the one thing that kills me most... maintenance. something new on my car every week

lets take today for example. i get up real early to go to school. turn on my car and what do i hear? sounds like a hole in my exhaust. get on the ground and look, right where my resonator was removed, the pipe that replaced it was just hanging there. i dont have a welder at home and dont really want to wait until auto tech starts back up in september to do it. anyone know what this might cost at a muffler shop?

if it is just one weld i don't see it costing more the 30 bucks. i had a glasspack put on for 40 and that was 2 welds and buying the glasspack at the same time..

im paying way too much, but it's cause im on my parents policy, which also has my sister and her speeding ticket on it. I'm gonna be 25 in september...i have 1 ticket too, but it should be off around christmas time. I don't know how much i'm gonna wind up paying. NY insurance is ridiculous either way.

just got back from the muffler shop. they had to replace the aluminum pipe with stainless. the retard who welded in the pipe before used aluminum welded to stainless, thats why it broke. it ended up costing 140

i dunno about other states but full coverage on a svt contour in pa is through the roof. highest i've ever paid for ins on a car is this contour. maybe cuz the parts are so hard to come by since not as many were made i dunno. but for me i have full coverage on my csvt, full coverage on my focus, and full coverage on my bike all with 100 deductable and i pay around 200 bucks a month for all three through state farm. im only 23 so it should drop a good bit when im 25, i've never been in any accidents or had any tickets.... knock on wood...

I think they love those 3 little letters more than they love to hear GT.

Im only 16 and insurance is going to be about $2000 a year i believe(thats what i was told). Its the main reason i need a job(and because i want to do stuff to the car).

Big difference in price. It does pay to look around.
