actually more receptive than most kids his age to "logic".

The quoted price is for the car in our name on our policy. It's just
dang expensive to insure a teen in a Civic Coupe. We use 21st Century
Ins.

True dat. But the combo is deadly to the pocketbook.

We have assets that could be gone after, which is why I prefer to take
it bending over from the Insurance Co. My son's risk of injuring others
is high right now. I don't want anyone going after our 'stuff' because
their kid got hurt in our car. And I'm not quite ready to write off a
'99 if'n he is responsible for the accident.

I got a brand new sports car when I was 17 but don't remember my parents
complaining.

Wrong! Its usually cheaper to buy and old wreck and put the kid on it with
insurance than to add them to your policy. Been there. Currently on 4th
kid.

There are two major considerations going on here for insurance. One is the
age, sex, experience and accident history of the driver. The other is the
claims experience the company has had with that particular year/model of
car. It doesn't matter if its big or small, they are looking at claims
frequency and money they have paid out on this particular model car.

It is usually a good idea to get a quote from the insurance company for
insurance on a particular car before buying.

NO! You're wrongo bozo!

A 17 year old's liability coverage alone is thru the roof regardless of the
car.

A 17 year old will ALWAYS cost more to insure than a 35 year old!

Don't get him a car and save lots of money. Buy him bus/train tickets for
when he needs to come home. Or, have the many family members who want to
help him out pick him up from school on a rotating basis. The 4 hours spent
in the car together will help them bond.

I had one of these. Same color, same year. Twice as good condition,
though. Excellent little car. Okay - it was a heavy gas-guzzling
160HP beast. Fast, though, and everyone stopped me to ask what
in the world it was.

The 1975 164E was basically a 240 with 164 sheetmetal and the bigger
inline 6 engine - the best of both worlds. They only made *two*
wagons, though, as prototypes.

And everyone's favorite:

Volvo made nice cars back then.

B.S. Like I've said - I'm on kid number 4. With two of them now, the
insurance price to buy an old car and insure the kid on it was less than
just the cost of adding the kid to my policy. Calling me names is not going
to change the numbers on my insurance bills and checks.

And a new Rolls is always going to cost more than a ten year old Impala.
Your statement that its not the car is just plain wrong. Its both the car
and the driver, not just one or the other, and the OP was commenting on why
a Civic would cost more to insure. Where did this 35 year old come from?

I did a comparison at www.esurance.com and it was LOWER to add the 17 year old
to an adult's policy! If you aren't such a thickheaded moron, I dare you to do
the same.

That wasn't my point, idioto. I'm saying no matter how responsible the 17 year
old might be, he'll ALWAYS be a higher risk than an average adult.
