A few things I wanted to know about the s2000 drivers here.

Year of car

Age

Insurance Costs (Every 6 months)

I hopefully will be getting an s2000, so I don't have to share with my father. I just wanted a comparison is costs you guys pay to drive this car.

Thanks

I will start

2 tickets (speeding 10-15 over, "failure to obey a traffic control device.") good luck on getting cheap insurance being a 19 y/o with an s2000.

Wow!

And I thought my insurance was high!

On average, how much does a ticket raise your insruance by? I wouldnt know since my parents still pay for insurance, but once my S rolls in, I will have to stat paying.

It will be worth it though!

i have no idea... but i know even before i got my tickets, my insurance on my integra was about $100/month. so add to that the two tickets and the fact that the s2000 is a bit more expensive to insure. oh, and i've found that having an at fault accident seems to raise your insurance more than moving violations (but don't quote me on that... just an observation.) don't know if you have any on your record...

also, i'm no expert, but i'm pretty sure that anything is going to be more expensive if you personally are insuring it alone vs. your dad insuring the vehicle and having you on the policy. plus, you probably don't have as good / established credit as your dad and that's a factor in determining how much it will be to insure you. (at least it is in oregon...)

Don't be an idiot in the car and you won't have to worry about speeding tickets / at fault accidents

well, to enjoy the s2000, you more often than not will have to violate one traffic rule or another. are you suggesting we buy an s2000 and not enjoy it??
