My friend's picking up a GT tomorrow...
 
2003 Black, light gray leather interior, 77k miles, 5 spd. Has a K&N FIPK and flowmaster catback on it.

Talk about being 1-upped eh? Actually it's more like 4-upped... newer, leather interior, V8 and a manual..definitely 4-upped.
This is the guy that has that GSR swapped civic, which he is trying to sell.

now you need to do the 5.4l, T-56 tranny and 8.8 rear end swap.

Haha, it'd probably be easier to buy a new car than swap a 5.4l into a 3.8 body.

True. But if you get a GT just because your buddy got a GT, then you're just a lemming.

Yeah..I don't want a GT, but I do want a better car. It was just so much nicer being a newer car. It's tough....If I manage to find a decent job (which I haven't yet) and pull in enough $ from detailing from now-summer, I may seriously consider selling my car and taking out a loan for a 4V Mustang. Insurance is the only thing that would be terrible. And by terrible I mean over $3k a year

King 09-18-2008 10:40 PM

Dear God, boy! What on earth would bring it up high? I thought I was getting the wrong end of the stick when I was told $160/mo, but $3k/year is pretty insane.

Well currently it is $2700 a year for the 6.... 18 y/o no tickets, clean record, no wrecks. On family policy. Full coverage I think. Our insurance company is really terrible but my dad refuses to do anything about it.

King 09-18-2008 10:46 PM

Ouch. I'm 18, one ticket (two years old/reduced to failure to signal), family plan, full coverage, 4v Mach 1 at $160/mo. You're making me really appreciate State Farm.

PColav6 09-18-2008 10:47 PM

Yeah....I hate my financial situations.

Shit. Im 18, no tickets, family plan, full coverage, with only a V6, and I'm at $180/mo. I have State Farm too.

King 09-18-2008 10:55 PM

I think you need to sit your parents down and have a little chat.

PColav6 09-18-2008 11:00 PM

Yep..well I know for certain as soon as my friend drives the GT normally for 1 tank of gas and I see how it gets equivalent or most likely better gas mileage than my 6 I'm definitely doing something about it.

King 09-18-2008 11:05 PM

And rightfully so. Stick it to the man!

What the fuck...god. Seeing how much easier other peoples' insurance goes on them really pisses me the fuck off. lol

Stephen4036 09-19-2008 01:03 AM

thats nothing for a v8 in orlando... for an 18 yr old. i paid 200 a month for firebird without collision so i paid an extra 40 a month for a v8 and full cov.

spike_africa 09-19-2008 05:47 AM

Im 23 with only 1 ticket they know about and my 2002 GT is only $122 month. Some of you guys suck.

You made it into the big leagues Spike. I believe after 21 you start catching some insurance breaks depending on your record.

And PCola, Stephen is paying nearly 3k a year at $240 a month. So he's not catching much more of a break than you.

Lazerred6 09-19-2008 08:13 AM

I pay in 6 month incriments i'm 21 clean record $800 for 6 months fully covered


my wifes car is 200 for 6 months with the lowest coverage becuase she never drives and her car is a piece


gotta love costco

krazypony 09-19-2008 08:17 AM

When you hit 25 you start to see some breaks, but not till then and thats if you have no incidents

Mr. Zip 09-19-2008 09:24 AM

^ +1. And at least he's not a rice head anymore.

Yeah..but he's the same age and it's still less than what my cost is with a V8.

I decided I'm going to stop modding the v6 and work to replace it with a mach 1 by this time next year...there are many selling for <$16k now so when the new mustang comes out they may go down to around 14-15k.

I almost bought a 2004 white GT 40th anniversary last summer had the same low mileage as my current 6er at the time. After trade in of my 6er i would have only had to pay 4k

Thats because they cant afford to keep pumping the premium gas in the dayumn things! Hell I would love one too, but damn that gas price per gal is scary these days, even for one that takes regular gas!

00blkstanggt 09-19-2008 11:04 AM

Full coverage here, State Farm, one ticket that should be up soon, 2000 GT, and I'm 26 = $85 a month.

Steeda97 09-19-2008 12:55 PM

1 upped? My buddy had a 2000 z28 that after I got 4.10s I could almost keep up with and he went and bought a 2008 C6.

I got 200000 upped!

Is the title of the car in your name? If it is just tell your Dad your going on your own policy and go get yourself a quote
