First time car buyer - How expensive is insurance? What to expect?

[SweetTooth]

Any input? Like for a guy close to 18.

I seen 150 a month for a 24 yr old mustang owner today.

Damn..are you serious?


What about for an older car or maybe a sub $1000 car?

How old are you for one, are you married also? For age it's expensive till your 25 or if you married then it gets cheaper.

Well for every car I had up to turning 24 it was atleast $1000 a year just for liability. A $1000 car wont help much except that you can get just liability. My first car was a $600 81 dodge mirida when I close to 18 and I think it cost me $1300 a year.

depends on these values:
age
car type + year
area where you live
driving expereince + training (can lower it)
tickets and accidents
miles you drive

it really depends on the area. I pay 2000/yr for the two cars but my friend in SLO (200 miles from here though driving a different car and having tickets pays only 900/yr

I'm 22 and drive a 2000 Neon and a 85 chevy s-10. I pay like $1600 for both. If you are just turning 18, then your insurance wil go down after 3 years. Then it will go down again when you turn 25 and when you get married. Insurance depends are type of car more than anything else. My fiance drive a 96 Nissan Sentra and she has been driving for almost 5 years and pay more than I do.
