I'm on my own policy. It's State Farm. My fiance, who's 20, is also a driver on both cars.
I'll see if I can't find a letter from them... $120/mo is the last time I remember the payment being... (which was at least 1/2 yr ago) It has probably changed since then. It's directly taken out, so I don't pay that much attention

I personally think the insurance on the Mustangs is high IMO. I pay for my Lightning, with very good coverage, $53 a month. My wife pays $62 with the same coverage.

He's not far off Silver. I pay $150 per month for three cars. 02 Stang, 86 SVO and 02 Turbo Bug. I had the Sliver 84 insured for a while and it added $48 per month to the policy.

Rates very from state to state and company to company. Each person is going to be pre-assesed in some way or another; not really sure how they pic a risk catagory for any given person. A multi-vehicle policy helps somewhat, as will home and life insurace policies, to bring the over all cost down.

We are with All State. I've looked for cheaper rates and nobody can touch what we have now... some of the big boys who tout their crap on TV won't even talk to us.

Oh, and if I had a garage; Collectors insurance for all three SVO's full coverage, no milage limits, stated value of 5K each. $178 per YEAR.

I need a garage.

Actually I was wrong.

$52 for my 2003 Lightning, full coverage, $500 deduc, 100,300,100
$59 for my wife's 1999 V6 Mustang, full coverage, $250 deduc, 100,300,100
$5 for my 1996 Z28, fire n theft

29, homeowner, good credit, home-owners policy with the same company.

I honestly wouldn't get him an 04 or 05 anything. Chances are, he's going to have an accident with his first car. I know I did, and many others did as well. Why waste a nice looking car on that? I suggest finding an older car for him at first. Just my $.02.

I did. I drove my car into a ditch... a few times. I lived in the sticks so the dirt roads enticed me to do stupid things. NObody was ever around so it didn't matter. I guess my mom was smart buying me 600$ 75 torino...

The insurance on my used 03 v6 is $1314 per 6 months. So it's $2628 a year. It's with a crappy insurance company and I have both way coverage. Oh and I'm a 17 year old male and I just go the insurance a few days ago and I've never had anything against my record. With a a v8 it would have been much more.

Sweet... I always thought women would pay more, they seem to be the worse of the 2 in driving, especially around that age. "I was talking on my cell, changing cds, when this guy honked at me, then I went off the road...."

So I looked it up and my payment is $194/mo for both cars.

I get discounts for:
multiple autos
accident free
multiple line

Mines 300 for my mustang and escort combined, but I have liability only. If I wreck it, i deserve the wrecked car and could fix it for less then the insurance premium i would have. I'm still in the clear if someone else kills my car, then they're ass is mine.

The main reasons I can think of are insurance, and base car costs.
However, I could ask you the same question. I saw GT's at a Ford dealership selling for just about 30k. So why not get a Cobra for a few grand more?

I'm glad someone else thinks the way I do.
