Anywhere from $250-350/month depending on your deductible and liabilities. I pay $250/month on my 99 Z with a $2000 deductible.

Stay on your parents insurance if at all possible, it will save you a ton. Also you could try to be the secondary driver. Another option is to buy a a very cheap car and call it your primarily driven vehicle (insured at a bare minimum) and say your TA is a "pleasure vehicle". I am 19 w/ 1 ticket and pay 160 per month on a 2002 Z28.(still a lot i think).

That sounds like a good idea. I do have another vehicle that I can use as the primary and the T/A as the pleasure vehicle on my parents insurance.

Any others?

hey, I'm 18 and live in las vegas. I was quoted $5300 a year on my own. My dad lives in vegas and I dorm at unlv. So all of a sudden he has a desire to buy a camaro its his second car for pleasure and im allowed to drive it at no additional cost because I do not live in his residence. Maybe this will help. Just think, its cheaper for me to go to school and drive a car than if I were to live at home and drive a camaro and not go to school. Hope I helped.

Well since we are on the subject of insurance, I also have a question. Within a few weeks, I am going to be getting my winter car. And my Pap thinks I should get it under my own insurance. Right now my Z is under his dealership insurance and I don't have to pay anything extra for it. Now I don't think I can afford my own insurance, but if I told the company that I have another vehicle on a different plan, would they charge me just as much as if I didn't say that??

I'm 21 the cars in my name insurance in my name and I pay $180 a month. But I think it all depends on where you live. One had a good idea saying put it as a pleasure vehicle if you can, I couldnt but my buddy did on his and hes paying half what I am.
