Wow man it's time to change insurance companies. I pay about 1200 a year on a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage. And they've never raised my premium even though I was involved in an accident (not at fault though) and I got all the money I've ever payed into car insurance back and then some because of that accident (seriously get a lawyer if you get into a car accident)

 

Although I only have the most basic car insurance.


Wow I wish I only paid $1200/year. Mine's a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt LT (not even the faster SS version) and mine's $3500. 

I'll get a discount once I'm 21 years old but it's damn high right now. 

Then you're definitely gettin raped by your insurance company. I have a 2008 Chevy Impala SS and I pay around $1,800.00 a year with Progressive.


Wow man that's crazy. In Canada or somewhere else?

Plus are you 21? For some reason it gets a lot cheaper when you hit 21. Its also cheaper if you're married and/or a home owner. 

The insurance broker I use has a tool on their website for calculating insurance rates and I found out that if I was 21 right now I'd be paying $2800/year compared to $3500/year (for being 19).

I also found out that if I was a girl (same age and driving record) it would be $2800/year. That's sexism if I've ever seen it. Imagine if they charged Asians more for insurance based on the stereotype that they're bad drivers? People would be outraged.
