Default Insurance question

ok well i might be having the chance to get a nice GT 5.0 with a blown engine for cheap. now my question is that right now i have a 2.3 auto and i pay something like 1200 a year. I'm 17 and havn't had anything bad happen yet other than one ticket. Please if someone can tell me how much would it cost to have the 5.0 on my insurance. Just tell me how much you pay compared to how much i pay.

My advice is to stay on your parents policy as long as possible. I was on my parents through college, 21 y/o then, and I was paying 589/6 months on a 2002 Honda Accord SE. As soon as i took the policy in my own name, it went to $1100/6mos with a flawless record. As soon as it went down, i got the Mustang and it went right back up. I am paying $180/month, $500 ded for a 03 GT, with a flawless record and 24 years old.

Default RE: Insurance question

it is difficult to compare what each of you pay because of several variables

not only your GPA and driving history, but also the deductible, the value of your car, the engine, and there are many different levels of coverage (diff. dollar amounts that insurance will cover in case of accident) or just plain old liability....

and definitely stay on your parents plan and just write them a check...they get a discount on all the rates for having multiple vehicles on the same account....but you will need to have the car in their name (I think)
