In the 3 or 4 years that I've been on my own policy and paying my own insurance, I've paid out MAYBE $7,000. My accident in my WRX, which caused hardly any actual damage cost my insurance company $10,000 to fix. Seriously - the hood is 500, headlights 700, foggies 500, etc.
I'm up 3,000
Now, think about that. My insurance company has lost over $3,000 on me alone and I'm certainly not the only one to wreck my car. They have to cover their *** because it's expensive. It sucks to have to pay insurance because it's real expensive, but when you need it, it's a god send. I'd be seriously screwed if I had no insurance and a $10,000 (a third of my yearly net pay) bill to repair my car.
Accidents and theft happen more in CA and for me, I drive like 17,000 miles a year. As a young driver on the road with millions of moms in suvs on their phones, it's a liability big time

To answer about how i afford it is with my current job i can make the payments on my car and i'll pay it off in a 5 year loan. My parents will let me stay at home if i want to for the duration of the loan. So when the car gets payed off i move out. By the way I just turned 18

I just moved to MA from RI. I have been waiting to buy a WRX until I moved to RI because RI quoted me $4400/y (I am not kidding!!!!). Anyways I just bought a WRX (I take delivery Friday) and my insurance is going to be $1192/y. MA was kind enough to overlook two moving violations obtained in RI but even if they had to caught on to those I'm sure it would still be less then half the RI price.

I'm planning on purchasing as soon as I can sell my truck. My plan is to put the car in my parent's names. I would then not be the primary driver of this vehicle and will not be charged the higher rates. If you're young and would rather blow your money on parts for your Rex, then try to put the car in your parent's names. It depends on your insurance company, but for me, this will work.

Ok I have had 3 insurance companies, USAA, Geigco, and Progressive. Like you I have a clean driving record. I'm now 20, almost 21. I payed 2,000 every 6 months with Geigco, but with USAA I now pag $600. It is great. I'm upgrading to an STi and there is only a small increase in insurance.
