Insurance?
I guess this is a newbie question...
I'm buying my first car.
I'm able to get an FTO for relatively cheap with barely any Ks on it. It's a '96 GS manual.
Everywhere I've been quoted on insurance has been between $1000-$2000. And as I'm taking out a loan already, I don't really want to get third-party insurance because if the unthinkable happens I'll be without a car and still paying for it.
What do you guys recommend?
Cheers.
EDIT: Great. Just saw the insurance forum.

2000 for a GS, you do realise a GS is is only 1.8 L model, its not a V6. Make sure if you do buy this you tell the insurance company that its only a 4 cyl.

Even so, that's bloody good. I know of a couple of people around the age of 21 who had quotes for full comp from JustCar around the 5-6k mark...mitcheo wrote:Just car insurance. thats saying there is no mods, and you have to pay the full amount straight up.
Jackaz: one thing you'll learn about being young and owning an import is that you pretty much get to pay whatever the insurance company says you will.
My advice is to shop around, because $2k is a lot for a GS (if for no other reason, then because the market value of a 4cyl FTO can't be that much).
But, $1k for comprehensive insurance of an underage driver ain't so bad... hell, some of us are paying nearly that much just for 3rd party
