I haven't bought it yet, but I am the only person who it has been offered to so there is no hurry. I do however plan on buying. The guy selling it wants to get it registered, throw some new wipers on it and take it on a last drive before he get rid of it. I am having surgery on my knee on Thursday so I will probably be getting it in a week or two. So fear not, I will not pass up this offer.
To deal with the price of insurance I am contemplating either "garaging" (not driving vehicle but it remains insured at lower price to avoid conflict with dmv) or selling my Sable.
I would hate to get rid of my Sable it is quite the vehicle, it may not be pretty and may have some cosmetic issues but even for a vehicle with 180k miles I would rather have it than any of those other 4 bangers other kids my age have.

Well I am Paying $629 for my Sable now for 6 months.
If I had the truck my Sable goes down to $593/ 6 months and the truck will be $657/ 6 months. This is only Liability and uninsured drivers insurance.
This is with good student discounts and homeowner discount (even though I'm not a homeowner)

You need to do some insurance shopping, but your age and no offense driving experince has alot to do with it. Hey and do me just one favor, please drive with your headlights on in the rain, fog , snow and dusk til dawn. I'm a truck driver and I can't tell you how many accidents that could've been avoided if the person just had their headlights on. It's real hard sometimes to see someone coming up the side of us when it's raining out without their lights on. Sorry this is so dang long. GEEZ

Only time the headlights on any of my vehicles are off are in clear, sunny weather. Any clouds or precipitation headlights go on. I feel your frustration, even driving a sedan it can be difficult to see some vehicles, especially in the snow. I also do not take kindly to those who do not use lights when not only the weather permits but CT law states whenever your wipers are on you are required to have headlights on.
