1990 corolla, 5% off, 128 a month

You get a job.
I bought a new Civic at 18.
It's not that hard. Bad idea, but not impossible.
Then I sold it and bought a whole bunch of parts for my 240 and multiple cars, and now I'm 20 and broke.
I'm totally attention whoring this thread btw.

^ yes you are lol

I'm 23 this year
with a full time job paying off the 2nd car and insurance + rent lol

but when I was 18 my part-time job had so little income it wasn't even worth it to buy a car, as i had the the U-pass but wow.... life's getting hard

Gay im thinking of getting one of these, ive only got 5% discount and even my civic costs $230. What kind of plan are u on?

wow you guys pay a lot lolz.

It's so nice to not have a richmond up here in squampton to drive up the rates.

I pay under $150 now for the Genesis with full coverage and i'm not even at 43% yet haha.

personally if you want a car i think you should pay for insurance and other things, but that's how my family works. I was 18 when i first got my car, and i wasn't ready. you might want to reconsider a few things.

can you imagine asking your parents for money to buy a catback exhaust or some wheels? lol

i do pay for insurance and other things, i can't really afford to mod it haha. it probably isn't the smartest idea for an 18 year old kid to have car but everyone wants a car at this age because there's so much freedom instead of riding transit

well at least you admitt to it , fuck some kids think there the shits when there registration papers are there moms. in my opinion if you get a car you should be able to support it, if not your just a another tool.

The downside is...well, we all know the downside. ;)

this is why when your 18 your in school and getting a u-pass if at university and take transit like most of us poor students lol

puhlease. i think somebody is just jealous. i for one do admit my parents pay for my car payments, but i pay for insurance, gas, my own food, groceries for the house, clothes etc.. and i only make $10/hour working full-time.

Holy shit, that's high.

Same with that, that's stupidly high.

Luckily there's no richmond on Vancouver Island as well...

I ended up paying around $150 a month for my Turbo Supra/RX-7, with full coverage and at a 10% discount.

My Twin Turbo 300ZX will cost about 1500-1700 per annum to insure (with full coverage, 10-15% discount and insured for an "N" driver).

02 Celica
$1900 a year
43% discount

2009 Corolla XRS
25% when I insured for the year = $2790
now at 30% I think

^^^ Wow. You have 30% discount and it costs you $2800 for a Corolla?!?!

I know it's a XRS, but still...

I'm broke but if anyone wants any one of my cars in my stable pm me I could use the cash.;)

Well, $2800 was only 25% earlier this year. My discount went up to30% after, but I mean, 5% more is barely a difference when I renew next.
But yeah, that was a shocker to me too..plus when I insured it, I had to fork out another $710 to get the Replacement Policy through the insurance company, which in the end, is a FRACTION of the price ICBC wants for their policy.

And no, I did not have mommy and daddy reaching into their pockets! There's such thing as working and SAVING money.

How can you save money when you pay $2800/year for a corolla?

^ I work full time and put money aside every paycheque ALL year, works out.

^ Good for you especially nowadays...... Well for myself I pay annually with my VISA more points for me...... and haven't tried the monthly payment options before and my insurance is around $16XX/yr and this is on 43% discount hopefully I will get a even lower rate when I renew this year cuz my car is getting old......

Agreed. When I was shopping for my car, I looked at insurance costs for everything I was in the market for. I was looking at preludes, then I was shocked at the insurance costs. I mean, when your car isn't worth that much, paying $2-3Gs a year is a lot of money.
