How can some dealers have VINS already and my dealership (the largest in Ohio) claims they don't even have the list of how many / what cars they're getting?

When an ordered vehicle is enroute, the dealer gets the VIN.

Hmm, would it hurt to post it? Just asking so it might make it easier for my insurance company to give me a real price quote. Thanks.

did they just give you 10 numbers of the VIN?

I spoke to my insurance company, Progressive, and they are going to use the WRX Sedan rate for me until STI details arrive.

Full coverage, $500 deduct = $200 a month

Not bad for me considering I lose my 2 speeding tickets and 1 wreckless driving ticket in June.

I'd start saving.........when the insurance companies get the proper rating for the STi your rates aren't going to stay at WRX-like prices.

I thought $200 was a great price for now, considering my 10 points on my license. My Honda s2000 that I just sold, I was paying $265 a month on it.

Once my tickets are removed, and they review my policy in August, I should be back down in the $100s again. Before they actually noticed my tickets (tickets were recived in May and June 2000, and not noticed until Nov 2002) my insurance was only $125 a month on the s2000! Full coverage too!
