I just saw this, read the article and started to laugh. **EDMONTON - Barbara Wellensiek knew her son’s insurance bill would be steep because of his driving record, but when the renewal notice arrived she was shocked to see the annual premium was $104,566.63.** [240sx insurance for a kid in edmonton](http://jalopnik.com/cars/offbeat-news/teenage-hoon-slapped-with-104000-insurance-premium-332935.php) What do you think? ---

Insurance for 240s are so high because of wannabe drifters who keep crashing. I bet that if insurance companies were to read what we talk about in car chat, all of us would not be able to afford insurance. ---

What did they expect honestly, his old premium was $1300 a month/$15600 a year. This quote is jokes: “Moped!? I wouldn’t let his ass drive a golf ball. Driving is a privilege not a right. And when his dumb ass goes sailing through his car’s windshield from impact after f\*cking around on public streets I hope two things for him: a) he doesn’t hurt or kill anyone else. b) he keeps his arms at his sides to maintain proper form on exit” ---

I had only liability on the S13, and now I have full coverage on the G. Apparently the biggest difference was that I had my own policy for my S13, and the new company counted my driving experience differently because of it. I also have my own policy for the G now. The price is actually almost the same, the reason why I said it’s cheaper for the G, is because that’s full coverage, and I had liability only on the S13. It is a fantastic car for insurance purposes though, everything else sporty that I priced was significantly more to insure. ---

What I find interesting is that they offered that high premium, instead of refusing to insure him. ---

I found out that the insurance on my '95 240 is less than the same year 4-door honda civic… (both under my name of course). That doesn’t make sense at all to me, but I’m not gonna complain 🙂 ---

The only legit tricks i used were. - occasional driver (weekends and evenings; not to work /school) - I’m listed as residing in Waterloo which = a cut of 30% and i’m paying 200 a month with a 10 over and an at fault collision (which is being appealed. ---

I know a couple guys that were paying over $1200 for Vipers, M5s and Supras and I thought that was outrageous. Don’t most ppl just register in BC and get protected by ICBC rates. Insurance companies dont understand it only promotes uninsured driving. They have a huge prob with that in the US, uninsured mexican illegals, they can’t get insurnace or its astronomical. They tag you after a few too many Coronas too bad for you and your insurnace company. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/104-000-insurance-premium-for-240sx/111772.md?page=2)
