bmcginn · 04-27-2008, 11:11 AM

So i totaled my r18 and now i am shopping for a new car.
I am 18 and my parents kicked me off their insurance so i have get my own policy. I am going for 4 door 4 cylinders.

Right now i am looking at a 02 sentra se-r...for 8k with 85k miles
i have received a quote and it seems good

How did you total it?

I dont know the story behind how you totaled your car, but if its your fault that its totaled, and you're only 18, id stay away from anything thats sold as a performance model because insurance was gonna rape you already just for being 18

i hit a tree, but yeah i have done some reserch and i got a quote on it from usaa(i was with htem on my parents insurance and they were good ot me so i figured i would stay) and it was 189 a month. so i figured with the money i get from insurance from my civic i can purchase the car and have enough to pay the frist six months and have some left over to save while i work

I would suggest getting a last gen corolla. They look great modified, get great gas mileage, and should be pretty cheap on insurance.

Or you could think about getting a 7th gen civic. Those also look great modified, they're really safe, get great gas mileage, and are very cheap to insure.

Just my .02

i have looked into 7th gen civics a little
but never thought about a corolla

thanks for the suggestions

I Vtec, do you? · 04-27-2008, 01:28 PM

Ion redline

They're cheap to buy and surprisingly cheap to insure. And quick, although that's probably something you don't need

i just got a Yaris Seadn S 34 city 40 Highway

If you're going to be paying for insurance as well, I'd rather gloss over that SE-R or performance-minded cars. Especially at the tender age you are. Just some advice.
