Okay i know everyone is going to say there's no way to tell me there's no way to tell how much insurance costs, but I'm hoping someone can give me a rough estimate based on this information
So I'm 17 right now and in a little less than a year I'll be looking to buy a car. By then I'll have 7-8k that I'm looking to buy a car with. Currently I am insured on my moms 05 Toyota Sienna and it costs about $1000 a year to have me as a driver on her car, cheaper than it would have been on my dads civic($1200 on a 04), and that's after discounts for good grades and my parents not having an accident or ticket since before I was born. I won't be using the car that much, seeing as I am still in highschool and walk to my school, so not many miles would be put on each year.
If anyone has a prelude around that year, or anyone just has some knowledge on the subject, I'd really appreciate it if you answered leaving an estimate of what you think it might cost a year. If it's really just ridiculous do you think that going down to the previous model, the one with 135 hp, would save a decent amount of money on insurance? I'm really wanting a nice car but I don't want to be one of those kids who go crazy with their honda civics to the point where you can barely tell what type of car it is.
