Insurance! My god, I bought insurance for my Si the other day. First let me say I am 31 yrs old, never had an accident that was my fault, no speeding tickets for the last 14 years and no criminal record whatsover. So I should be paying $750 a year right ? Yeah I was for my 99 Chevy truck with full coverage.....My new Civic Si is $1440 per year. They say people love to steal Civics and that is what is jacking up the price of insurance. Now keep in mind I could go down to Bubba Smiths Insurance company and get insurance for less, but I would also like to get my car fixed if anything happens to it......I like Insurance companies that stand behind the policy. Hope this helps

You went from an older (and therefore, less valuable) domestic vehicle (cheaper parts) coupe (2 door) with a performance oriented bent.
 
And you are blaming your increase in price on the fact that more civics are stolen than 99 chevy trucks?
 
That isn't a reasonable assertion. Some suggestions: if your deductible is $250, move it to $500. Cut out the unnecessary services if you've got those.
 
You can probably cut it down by $300-400 a year with your record.
 
Good Luck!

I just picked up my Si 2006 yesterday, I'm older with an excellent record too and my insurance agent gave me the same price of $750.00 yearly. The only comment made by the agent was to aviod areas of high crime. No kidding .... Anyway,the car is an execellent buy for short money for someone like me going through a mid-life crisis.

Im at $1350/ year with State Farm (about $250 more than on my 97 Integra GSR), $500 Collision, Full Comp. Just had a car declared total from them (stolen) and one my fault accident...involving a publicly owned Crown Vic with a lightbar.
 
When I move in a few months, it goes down to about $1150/year before multi car/homeowners discounts etc.

Hey guys - about a week ago I posted about considering getting a new car, between a new 06 si, or a impreza wrx.
 
I would be trading a 2000 Silverado Sport Truck - been offered $8900 trade in: WITH THE FOLLOWING MODS
 
2000 Chevrolet Silverado Stepside 4.8 Liter 5 Speed Manual
---------------------------------------------------
This truck has 120,000 miles (I bought it at 24000)
 
K&N Cold Air induction system with a Granatelli MAF SENSOR
GIBSON HEADERS with a cat-back flowmaster exhaust system.
(THIS TRUCK SOUNDS AMAZING, TRUST ME, WHEN YOU HEAR IT YOU KNOW IT MEANS BUSINESS)
EATON POSI-TRACTION REAR END (LOCKS COMPLETELY UNDER 20 MILER PER HOUR)
20 inch very elegant wheels (NOT GHETTO)
BRAND NEW COOPER DISCOVERY HP 275/45/20 Tires (VERY PRICEY)
BELLTECH 2/4 Drop kit (Spindle kit which doesn't change ride quality at all)
Gas-adjust shocks in case you need to haul something in the bed
Black Rollup "Lite-rider" Tonneau Cover (VERY NICE, EASY TO ROLL UP AND DOWN, NICE FRAME NO SNAPS)
 
CHROME BILLET GRILL
 
--------------------------------------------------------
While yes, it is beginning to show signs of aging - squeaks, rattles, whines - IT RUNS GREAT - and it is paid for. I pay $1200 a year FULL COVERAGE STATE FARM. I am 23 years old.
 
My question is this - I have about 12K Cash saved - and my truck trade in offer today was $8940.
 
I'm looking at an 06 black SI NO NAV - for right at MSRP (19990) plus tax = $22k
 
OR
 
a 2004 WRX Impreza with 7800 miles for $20000 + TAX = 22500.
 
Is it being immature, and stupid to trade my nice custom, good running truck in now on a new (almost new) car, or should I invest a little money ($2k) and get my truck squeekless, smooth, and drive it for another few years until I can save more money to get an even nicer car?? OR should I just say goodbye to my reliable old beauty and get a new one??
 
I'm plannin on going to law school in 9 months. So thats a factor.
 
Picture of my truck HERE
 
I NEED SUGGESTIONS AND PRO/CONS
 
insurance on both the new cars would SKYROCKET to $2200 a year.
 
HELP ME!!! LOSING MY MIND THINKING ABOUT MY DECISION
