but i looked at a 2004 roush stage 3 mustang this past saturday. if everything goes good, it'll be mine this weds.
still haven't talked to the insurance company yet so i'm guessing this car will be just a 2004 gt in their eyes.
Is'nt a Stage 3 supercharged? I thought they were or maybe use to be. If they still are supercharged the insurance company won't treat it like a GT by a longshot.
I pay $390 every 6 months full coverage right now. For some odd reason my premiums have gone up $40 in the past year. No tickets or anything. Maybe it's just normal cost hikes. If it goes up again, I'm gonna do alittle insurance shopping.
I pay around 400 a year for liability.
If you don't mind me asking, why are you willing to work 2 jobs at 18 to pay for cars? There are a lot of other better ways to invest that money. Sounds like with your work ethic, you could get yourself through school, have money left over and buy as many mustangs as you want within a few years. Cars depreciate pretty quick, especially mustangs. Just a thought though.
Good luck on the roush.
Well im about to be 33 with no accidents,1 ticket and Ive been with Farmers Ins for the last 10 years and I pay about $95 a month with the mach 1 and about $10 a month cheaper when I had the 01 GT.Thats for full coverage w/$500 deductable.
Now since Ive been with Farmers for so long I get a discount,I took defensive driving about a yr ago so I get a discount for that.
Now at your age with insur in your name your gonna pay more.I remember when I was 16-21 and I paid for all my cars and insur....no mommy and daddy free rides for me.When I was in high school I drove a 85 Monte carlo SS and paid $240month,then I got a Z28 and paid $250mth...but when I was 20 and got my 92 TA I paid around $275mth with $1000 deductable...those amounts are insurance.
I also worked 2 jobs...alot of times they were both full timers too to pay for my cars,mods and all the other crap a teen wants.and sometimes I had 3 jobs.
Now that I look back on those times and everything I did to have those cars.....It was a very bad decision on my part.
WHY?
Because with me working all those hours I rarely got to really enjoy those cars and especially missed out on my younger years that I will never get back and I regret that alot.At the time I didnt think about it.
Now here is something else to think about also......
by the time I turned 25 I had become diabetic and now have nerve damage from that and permantly disabled.After talking with a specialist I had learned that I most likely progressed me becoming a diabetic by working those jobs because lack of proper rest,eating schedule or I should say lack of eating normal.Not only that but I would stay sick more often.
Now you all may be thinking I was one of those sickly kids growing up but honestly I was rarely sick with anything more than an upset stomach.I was very athletic,Cross country running(running the mile in about 5mins),and football.
Im not trying to talk you out of anything or preach to you,but I thought I would share my experiences with you.Its really something to think about since you have your entire life to work but only a short time to enjoy your younger years of freedom.If I could go back I would change all that.
And sorry for the long post and good luck.
Why are you paying for full coverage/asset protection if you are 18 years old? Drop your liability limits down the bare minimum, unless you own positive equity on an automobile or home in excess of $25,000.00. Haven't $100,000.00 of protection is useless unless you have $100,000.00 of assets that someone could sue you/put a lien on you for.

Im not sure about where you live but in TX some insur companies will alos base your premiums off of your credit score/rating...the lower the number goes...the more they can charge you.They consider lower scores a higher risk....
That is what my insur company told me.
yeah same here.yeah i'm thinking my insurance is going to be high, it'll still be under my parents name, but ill be listed as the primary driver. my mom gets a good discount through her work from this insurance company, so i'm going to stick with that company under their plan as long as i can. after that i'm going to a different company, state farm most likely.
thats kinda scary about being a diabetic. my grandmother was a diabetic. and i'm always stressed out about stuff. mainly lack of money. every check i've had basically since i've had the car so far i've thrown into my 94, trying to make it half as good as it was stock. my parents were wanting me to get something cheap, and just fix it, but its no good when it breaks and i just spent all the money fixing something else on the car.
thank you for sharing, its definitely given me a lot to think about now.
yeah its supercharged.
i wasn't sure what information the insurance company has on roush's. cause you could just buy a GT and get it turned into a stage 3, but the VIN will still be the same as a GT.
yeah same here.
what if your mom puts her name as the main driver and puts you as the second? you would still be able to drive it and it would be cheaper?
Sorry to hear,I have had that happen several times in the past.
if you dont mind me asking what was the selling price.Im sure with the way gas prices are right now it will be easy to get nice stang...mach1's are going for 14-15k now with low milage.Just keep looking youll find one
