In order to afford insurance for your car, you are planning on selling your car.

No...I cant afford the insurance for it, that's what I mean. Well I can but I need more money for other things. I could buy a whole other 6gc in 2 years for how much I'm spending on the insurance for it. It sucks!

Been there thats why I have a Celica now. Much cheaper insurance than my older car. I would sell it for about anywhere between $3500 - $4000. Sad that you have to leave such a rare celica with that paint job, but hey what else your gonna do. If you need more cash then you need more cash....

Nice celica btw. good luck with selling it. Although i do recommend keeping it and just earning more money. I would.
but i live in NEW YORK. so I had no option but to sell my car cause here everything is way to expensive.

yep, i'm switching to progressive weather i sell the car or not because they are about 200 bucks cheaper. I'm 18, that's one reason why its high. I was actually thinking about fixing the Lexus SC300 with the money then I'll have like 3000 to spar for something else like rims for the Lex.

u definitely need to shop around for better insurance. Unless you've got 3 reckless driving tickets and are 16 then thats too high. I'm paying 90$ a month for 2 celica's, full coverage.

no, im 18 and i have 2 accidents under my belt. but only one involved another car. 1 for inattentive driving, and the other one was for driving to fast for conditions, but its bull**** because nobody was there to witness it, not the cops either. I was going 40 in a 55 zone, and since they didnt plow the damn roads enough I hit a drift around a corner and she slid right off the road, and it didnt help that I was driving the rwd sc300.

I had to walk home because it happened like a mile from my house and they had already towed it out of the ditch by the time i went back up there, and the frickin towing bill was 300 bucks. No I think the insurance would be cheaper because its older, but idk I'm gonna get a quote on it first with progressive.

Your insurance for that Lexus is gonna be higher than for the Celica. Maybe you should get insurance quotes on the Lexus before you sell the Celica. There's no way it's gonna be cheaper for the Lexus.

DUH, of coarse im going to get quotes BEFORE i sell the Celica. and um no, you dont know the situation so stay away from my excuses because they are true. I was frickin driveing nice and slow then i hit that tiny little drift and she hydroplaned. So...the cops wrote me a ****ing ticket. And do me a favor and shush. tongue.gif no offence, but im just saying, wouldnt you be pissed in that situation. i got 4 points for it to. how can they do that

You said you were going 40 in a 55 zone. How's that nice and slow? No, I don't know the situation, I was only going by what you said in your post. So assuming what you said in your post was the situation, it appears you screwed up and are having a tough time owning up to it by blaming the snow plow, cops not being there to see it, rear wheel drive... blah blah blah blah.

you are 18 with 2 accidents. your insurance is not going to be cheap for a while. at 20 years old with 3+ years of spot free driving, my insurance is about 1k a year for full coverage under my name.

Yeah, that's pretty cheap...I'm 18, accident-free, good driver's discount, my insurance is about $1300 I think, with State Farm.

Okay my quote from progressive was 790 for 6 months times that by 2 and you get a total of 1580 a year. And with my insurance company now, I'm paying 2200 a year. Also I checked to see how much the Lexus SC300 would be and I found out its cheaper than the celica for insurance. The quote for the lexus is 770 for six months times that by 2 and you get 1540 a year...So I'll definitely be switching insurance companies. I still might sell the celica this spring possibly and start on the lexus project...

I'm 19 and thankfully my parents are still covering my insurance,

However I do pay for my motorcycle insurance. I shopped around and found that Geico tended to be the lowest (without comprehensive that is). I know that for motorcycle riders, there is a Govt. sponsored safety class you can take that will lower your insurance. I paid $668/yr (not bad for something that can do 0-60 in 3.2, redlines at 14.5, and... well I'll stop there...) and after taking the class (it's $250 if you're over 25, and $150 if you aren't. Govt. has a kick back for younger riders) it lowered my insurance by another $150-$200/yr and makes your class M license MUCH easier to obtain. Call up your INS and find out if they have any programs you can take to lower your rates.

Now that I think about it, AAA also offers a program for "new" drivers that will lower your INS another 15%/yr. 15% of 2200 is 1870. There goes $320 for just sitting through a couple of classes.
