Turned 17 today and my mom was asking me if i wanted a car anytime soon told her STi and she said how about insurance does anyone in the northwest have any quotes for a stock WRX so i can ballpark it for her

 

Yeah. "A LOT"

 

I have to agree with Max Rebo. I'm 18 and drive a pretty quick car right now. I was lucky enough to be trained by good drivers. The kids my age have no idea how to drive and I'm still not as good as I want to be. I'm going to take driving school before I strap myself into my Sti (which I won't be getting for a couple of years). Hopefully I'll be experienced enough. I don't think anyone my age should drive an Sti, they don't deserve to. Especially if it's their first car.

 

Bad news guys and gals. My insurance premium statement came in today. Apparently they were giving me the good student discount from college when I first signed on with them a year ago. The $720 every 6 months just turned into $915 every six months. I am going to be making some phone calls tomorrow. My girlfriends engagement ring is hitting me so hard right now that I can't afford these entry level sports car insurance prices. Sheesh... I may only be able to afford a 2004 WRX this summer.

max fortunately i have driven and understood hi performance cars so i know how to handle a car with big numbers just want the awd factor because i live in washington or else i would have to go with a blown 502 impala ss 64

 

Now what do you people consider high? I pay 900 every 6 months for my 95 celica GT :-P and I have one accident that will go off this year (yay!!) I also live in Cali. Is that high? I'm trying to get a feel for this STi issue.

 

Don't worry about insurance, guys. Insurance companies just love cheap turbocharged powerful fast cars. Honest. They won't charge exorbitant premiums. Trust me.

As for asking "how much do you think it will cost..." there are so many countless factors that go into determining an individual's premium that it's anyone's guess for cars that are already on the market, much less aren't even here yet. An exercise in futility, I say.

 

I pay about $550/6 mo. for my wagon. That's about the same as I paid for my '00 si. Not bad in my opinion. I'm a 26yo guy. Good record. Luckily when a drunk piece of trash woman broadsided me with a Jeep Grand Cherokee it went on her insurance .
