sup,

i just called insurance company and to insure a saab 82x areo its going to cost $5,780/year

to insure a subaru WRX Wagon its going to cost $6,400

now why would a subaru cost so much more to insure than a WRX??....

they both same cars

 

Could be because statistically, younger, more at risk drivers, would be driving the wrx instead of the SAAB 9-2x.

Good thing you have the "same" car and will pay cheaper insurance!

:banana:

 

because Saab generally has safer drivers.

Don't worry, if a bunch of punks start getting 9-2x's and crashing them, the Saab insurance will go up.

 

Nice little tidbit of information there.

Damn you guys pay a lot for insurance.

Anyways, I'm thinking of going over to a 9-2x especially at the dirt cheap price they're selling for. Can get a new aero for $21,000...roughly.

 

oh my god I thought I paid alot for insurance (about 2k per year). I can't imagine paying almost 3 times that.

 

dude! your insurance > your car payment!?

 

my car insurance is double my car payment

currently 2002 subaru impreza 2.5TS

car payment: $230/month
Insurance: $468/month

crazy eh

yea, right now i'm trying to calculate everything, cuz realistically i cannot afford a 2006 subaru imperza neither 2.5i or the wrx/limited. Insurance on the imprezas are extreme expensive for the 2.5TS i'm lookin' at ~$6000/yr

out the door a 2005 saab 92x aero w/ sport package (17" allows and moonroof) cost $22375

2.5i cost ~ $22570 after i configure it based on options of 2005.

personally the 92x is by far the better deal and has a moonroof and 200+bhp turboed

 

wow, how old are you? how much coverage do you have?

That is nuts.

 

21,

financed vehicles HAS to have full coverage in state of Massachusetts

the area that i live in places a huge roll as well. (crime area)

and on top i'm a driving step 19. step 15 is what you start out with and go down each year providing you dont get any tickets.

i received a few when i first got my license 2years ago and i'm still paying for the idiot speeding i've been doing til this day :-(

 

It's different because saab drivers are generally older drivers.

I don't see that many 16-21 year olds driving saabs.

 

For me to insure a 9-2x Aero it was exactly the same cost to insure an '05 WRX wagon.

 

wow, my insurance is only about 136 a month for full coverage on my wrx. it would be less, but i have renters insurance with the same people.

car payment $272
insurance $136

total $408 a month for the car.

I can't believe some numbers that the insurance companies charge young drivers.

 

^^ you mean it would be more without your umbrella policy, right?

 

no, it still would be less. about 12-15 less. had the insurance before w/o the renters and it was a little lower
