The thing that kills me is that you get a rate drop if you were irresponsible and got married in Vegas this weekend...

I would think that being responsible would get you a better rate...

Not saying this has anything to do with you premium but they also look at your credit score.

LOL, that depends on alot. I bought a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero, 4 door, 4 cylinder, but it was still listed as a sports car persay. I was paying $190 a month, then when I got my 2001 Mustang GT, it went down $25 a month. And ask people with EVO's or STI's, I guarantee they are getting raped. Guys with SRT-4's probably pay a decent amount aswell. Sedans ARENT always cheaper, just so you know.

my old '06 colbalt lt coupe is the same as a new 08.5 mazda3 sedan, with only one accident just before selling the cobalt, so the mazda would be cheaper.........it is also safer too.

99.99% of 20 year olds do not share anywhere close to a similar situation as yourself.

Good for you, honestly, ballin outta control, but most 20 year olds still make minimum wage or not much more.

And your right, age has nothing to do with it.

i am never stopped long enough for someone to hit me, so it should never happen to me. anyways people around here drive very cheap cars and the others drive bme, mercedes, infinity, lexus, etc. so it is either a fall apart cheap car to hit me or a really strong well built import that most people are not driving as much of anymore. very few trucks.

wow, must be nice to live in an area with no traffic lights, or a place that never sees stopped traffic.
Do you run stop signs too?
