Insurance

I have a 1991 GTi-R and finding reasonable insurance is so hard, I got quoted from rio insurance broker and they said 1200 a month, like i new buying the car that insurance wasnt going to be cheap but I was expecting something like 500-600 a month basically what I am trying to say is I am looking for a good insurance company that will give me a decent quote, so what are you guys insured with?

How old are you and I could move my licence address from Brampton to Barrie but I don't know if that would change it because I'm only 17 but I have a clean driving record and driving school, so I probably will contact state farm for a quote what should I tell them when I call should I say it's rhd or should I just give them the vin and say its a Nissan pulsar and If they ask then tell them

Jesus that's some pricey insurance. This is why I'm glad to live in Saskatchewan.... $90 a month for my R and when I plate it next summer it'll be even cheaper.

My car is insured at my Peterborough address.  You have to have been with State Farm 6 months previous before they will insure a rhd for you (don't ask me why?).  I gave them full disdisclosure.  Told them rhd Nissan Pulsar GTi-R and they even have it registered with the JDM VIN.

Also I am 26.  They werent phased when I first asked them about rhd.  They knew what to do with zero issues (the way it should be).

Odd. I called Farmers in the past and I got the response of "no rhd"

I miss Sask insurance rates as well. However Ontario doesnt seem to care about the DOT compliance.

I was just quoted $1188/month!

Thats $14256 per year!

I told them i bought the car for $800 and they didn't seem to care.

Have two years driving experience under my current car (2003 Accord), but this seems ridiculous. Think, i'll keep the fact that the car is RHD quiet. Might even tell them its a '91 Pulsar NX!

Who are you guys with?

i just realize that in B-C, its the province itself that insure you. they insure you wathever you got a RHD, LHD or a ferari 2012. but its only for basic insurence, if you want go colision insurence, you got to got private and $$$$$

Fire, theft, collision, 1 million liability. $300/month.

GTi-R, the best ugliest car I've EVER seen/driven. You can make it cool, you can make it fast but you CAN'T make it look pretty.
