Question by nickyohomie: Insurance Quotes?
So i just started driving and my parents put my name under the title of our van because the insurance was cheaper. Well i would like to save up and get my own car, but they keep bringing up that the insurance would sky rocket. The van is a ’03 Honda odyssey and the car i’m looking at is a ’91 Toyota 4runner. If anybody could give me a ballpark estimate of how much the insurance will cost for one verses the other. I’m 16 and live in the zip code 80127. Dont know if any other info is needed. Thanks.
We actually already have a good insurance agent, i just want to know about the difference in cost for the two vehicles.

Your parents are prob. right. The factors against you:
new driver
no driving history
age (ie: very young)
will ramp up that insurance to the point where it will actually cost more then the value of the car after about two years.
PLUS.. your parents will STILL have to have some kind of coverage on you since until you are an adult or emancipated, they are legally responsible for your actions.
Stick with their insurance and save the money for a GREAT car in about 5 years.
