Vette :)
« Reply #30 on: July 07, 2007, 02:58:54 PM »
I have a '98 trans-am and a 2007 honda civic, and the civic costs about $160/year more to insure than the trans-am.  Both have identical coverage including full collision/comprehensive with a fairly low deductable, and increased liability coverage because our combined income makes us a fat lawsuit target.

Hell, if I ever get really sued, it'd be cheaper to just shoot the bastard and his lawyer.  That way my wife would get to keep the house.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

I have a BMW Z3 Convertible.  Full coverage for me is 504 dollars a year.

Of course.....haven't had a speeding ticket for about 20 years.  Do I speed?
Hell yes I'm just older and wiser now :aok

Insurance on the Vette for same coverage we had on the Durango is within a few dollars per year ..ie: wife says it's less than a 20 dollar difference per *year* ..she was as surprised as I was.

We both expected a hundred or more a month boost ..LOL.
Heck we got surprised in several areas when we bought the Vette.

Wife says it's one of the most comfortable cars to ride in we've owned..
..she sleeps most of the time we cruise anywhere in it :)

Feels about the same at 50 as it does at 70 or 100+ .. solid ..very stuck to the road :)

If I push it hard into a corner, it's very easy to neutral out initial push with a little throttle ..she corners *hard* yanno?

As for places to buy, here's a couple to add to your favorites to look at :

There just isn't any reason to pay local outrageous dealer markups
(some of these yahoos here in Phx want 100k for a Z06)
