Matthong,It seems to me that the $125 "temporary insurance", which you say is 48 hours, (that's $22,500 a year!)is nothing but dealer profit and should be considered as part of the purchase price.
I don't consider a dealer trustworthy, if he won't let you keep the car in the lot for 24-48 hours while you arrange for insurance, and insists that you must drive the car out right away.
In any case, the last time I leased a car, I called the insurance company (GEICO) from the dealer's office, and they told me that I was insured effective immediately.
My $0.02

Sensible, Wow, you actually used calculator to let me know the yearly insurance cost at that price. Thanks for the concern, but let's move on with your life. That 'over-paid' insurance is good for 10 days. And congratulations on your insurance rate. Too bad for me, GEICO does not cover NJ.#43 of 1838 Insurance by mlsuli

State Farm provides equal coverage to their customers based on your current policy. Usually it will cover upto 72 hours after the purchase of the vehicle. So if you bought it Friday night you'd still have coverage on Monday - ample time to sign you're new pride and joy up.I've only purchased in CA & TX before and have never heard of insurance being sold by the dealer?
Maybe different on the East Coast?

I purchased a 99 EX V6 for $23,060. I wanted the 6-disc changer (arm rest) 522 Installed/taxFloormats 79
For a total of: $23,661
This took about 30 minutes to negotiate. (Amazingly enough... could have been my whinny 2 yr old though?)
This was in No. CA where they had two left:
Black/Grey
Green/Tan
I took the Black/Grey - which I wanted anyway - and the Green/Tan was sold the next day. To my knowledge there are no more '99's in the East Bay.
So there's very limited seletion.
Hope that helps!

I am looking for a vehicle that will pull a jet ski. What I find on the web differs from what the dealers say. As far as the three cars this site is dedicated to, can any of these pull up to 1,000 lbs?#48 of 1838 husky1 by doepel

You should have bought a Mazda Millenia S (210 HP V6). Available after rebate and dealer incentive for $26K. It has the style and handling sadly lacking in the Accord EX. Also much better fit and finish and rides better. Also, you won't feel like a grandpa driving it.The accord certainly is practical though!!!
