i am soooo close to getting my 240. only problem, insurance.

my parents said they would only let me get it under there policy, but then it would have to be full coverage.

that costs around 300 dollars so they said no.

yeah b/c no one is going to want to support a car that is no longer produced, driving the cost of it up. I pay $56/month and its just liability, don't worry about the better insurance till you have substantial mods

I would get something reliable. From the sound of it im sure you just got your license.

I know you may want to be cool and get a 240 but sometimes you got ta' do what you got 'ta do

my 240 is the cheapest car that i have had insurance wise, if you cant afford 240 insurance i think it would be kinda tough to afford insurance on any other car. my insurance chart ------>240sx< 97 jetta<95 jeep wrangler<98 chevy 2500edit* i got a part time job at subway to pay for insurance when i was 16

what the hell.. 300 bucks? screw that.. start your own policy, use the deduction from drivers ed, and get at it.

i pay full coverage on my 240 cause i used a loan on it, and its half that. your parents must have some bad driving history.

Go with a different insurance company?

Anyways, $300? Really?!?

I pay about $130 per month for full coverage.

You are 15 years old. You have 0 experience operating a vehicle, and you are looking into buying a car that has been statistically linked to street racing and the like. Yea, your insurance is going to be high, welcome to big boy world.

igorvr00m is pretty much right..

I'm 17, pay full coverage on my car, and I pay 150 a month, which is more than some of you but whatever, and I've never been pulled over. I don't even see a way you'd have to pay 300 for a damn 240.

Wait til you're 30 and only have to pay a measly $16 a month for liability. If I still have my 240 when you turn 30, I'd be happy to sell it to ya.

SirSilvia -- being as I don't want to wait that long, you should buy my 240 now.
