Insurance Costs

Things have changed! I was looking through some old papers today and found the liability policy my Dad bought when he purchased a new '58 Chevy Sport Coupe. The cost for the 6 month period was $17.70.

Things have changed. I remember buying a brand new Comet Caliente for $2600.00 in 1965

Things have changed. I remember when there was such a thing as a Liberal Republican (Nelson Rockefeller, Jacob Javits) and a Conservative Democrat (William Proxmire)!

I think Arnold qualifies as a liberal Republican.

Insurance Costs

My auto insurance rates dropped a few years ago when I got my AZ driver's licence (tractor trailer here in Ontario).

I pay $524 a year for my 1994 Flareside with full coverage and have my other vehicles insured as pleasure vehicles.

I pay an additional $271 a year to drive a 1990 5.0 Mustang and a 1970 Mustang Mach One

Well lets see. I pay $1500 a year to drive my parents 4 vehicles, then I pay $400 on my truck. I get by so cheap on my truck because its in my dads name. If it was in my name - I would pay $2500 a year for it! This is because I have good coverage...

colossus, I hope that the $2500 ain't for that 79 truck. I paid $15 a month for my truck as a second vehicle. My car is $80 a month but I'm 18 and now have 2 speeding tickets and a reckless driving ticket. I have also got 2 seatbelts and 2 warnings on defective mufflers.

The 2500 would be for the 79 truck - but currently - I don't actually pay that. They look at - 2 door - 10,000GVW - Title says Commercial vehicle (its questionable) - I also have 100-500-35 insurance. I also got a wreckless driving ticket as well...

Insurance Costs

My 79 costs me 152$/month.


Much better then the 530$/month for my acura (before I sold that jap scrap)

Had no tickets when I had the acura insured, have 3 minor speeding tickets with the truck insurance. *It wasn't any cheaper before I got the tickets I'll asure you, if I get a 4th one (which I doubt I will since I drive like an "old man" in <--no offence million) my insurance will be alot higher.

No collisions
No claims
6 star rating with Class 2 license

Non-Smoker

This is For My 78 re: Pleasure vehicle

I have:

$ 1 Million in PLPD

$250 Collision

$50 Comprehensive (Fire, theft, glass,vadalism)

Under-insured motorist protection.

Loss of use of vehicle

Plus, My 68 Mustang for $50 comp while it is stored.




Total : $52.80 Cdn/month
