I was considering it but a quote from Prudential car insurance was roughly $5800 for the whole year.

Yes I live in NJ... ;). Also this would be my first car so I haven't had time to build up my car insurance. Plus Im in my early 20s so yea heheh.

:Q Wow... that's nuts. I don't know how the RSX ranks on the top stolen cars but I know the one before it, the Integra, was one of the top stolen cars so the insurance on those was ridiculous too.

You can't afford a Cobra R, nor would anyone sell you one. Try again.

And whats with the hostility sexy man? Balls caught in your american crankshaft?

Prudential wanted $7000 from me in '97 for my new '97 Prelude SH when I was 27, had a perfectly clean record and a license for 9 years.

State Farm or Liberty Mutual should give you a much better rate than from those ripoff artists.

because the integra/rsx isn't common as hell. and anyone who thinks a cobra R is gay needs to be shot.

A Cobra-R are is a common car? Are you retarded or just clueless? They cost around 80-90k and are only made once in a blue moon. 95 and 2000 were the last two production runs. Do you realize there are maybe 500-1000 of them total? Oh, I guess you are a typical rice boy fanatic and think every car adds R to the end of its name.

Storm,
As you requested, the cost for the 2003 Acura RSX Type S, is; $21,915.00 plus applicable sales tax and licensing.

We would like to invite you here this week for a test drive in the RSX. I know that once you have driven the vehicle you will see why it is the most popular Sports Coupe on the market. We will be calling you soon to schedule your visit but feel free to reach either of us thru email, or at XXX XXX-XXXX with any questions you may have.

Thank you for your interest.

Word for word with name change of course from the e-mail I got. Try dealing with the internet sales departments. They will give you a better starting point since chances are you looked up the invoice price of the car.

At least learn how to comprehend before you fly off the handle with annoying diatribes.

He said "tweaked out common car"; analogous to how the M-series is his idea of a "tweaked out" version of the more common model (M3->3-series, M5->5-series, etc.).
