S2000 OWNERS!!! Help me out.
I went to Honda a few days ago and once again sat in the new '04 S2000.
I've sat in them before and thought they were cool but very expensive. I
actually sat in the passengers seat and just had to have it. I don't know
why the passenger seat did it. Maybe cause it felt like I was all cramped
like a race car but I loved it. (If I get one I will definately be the one
behind the wheel. No I'm not hiring drivers.)
I was wondering what you guys are paying for insurance on this beast. I
haven't called yet for fear of crushing my dream. Also-what discounts do
you guys have like married-multicar-homeowners-multi line-etc? And who is
your provider? I'm in Washington State. I am single 22 year mail
(ouch-this is gunna hurt I know) with only 1 minor ticket but I just wanted
to compare rates and discounts. I know I can put my girlfriend on the
registration and vice-versa to get multi car and I'll get renters to get
multi line but do you know any other tricks?
I figure I'll lease to get the payment lower and then buy it when the lease
is up and maybe sell it to get some money back. I'm probably going to wait
til they have some special intrest if they offer it on the S2000.
Any info would be helpful and if anyone knows the secret company with cheap
rates please let me know!

Re: S2000 OWNERS!!! Help me out.
At 22 any insurance is so expensive. I just turned 25 and my rates cut in
HALF> However, I go through GEICO, and I was looking into a used S2000 (29k
miles). Geico told me it would be a small fraction more than my 4 Cylendar
Accord Coupe. Something like 20 a month. It was not the horrible figure I
was expecting. Give them a call, you might be surprised... But at the same
time, I would recommend you wait till you turn 25 so that you can get an
S2000 AND have your rates drop simultaneously.

Re: S2000 OWNERS!!! Help me out.
I can't comment on your insurance question, but your comment about
leasing and then buying at lease-end tells me you don't understand
leasing very well. If it's important that you have low lease payments,
you should negotiate the highest possible residual value but
understand that a high residual means a high lease-end purchase price.

leasing and then buying at lease-end tells me you don't understand
leasing very well. If it's important that you have low lease payments,
you should negotiate the highest possible residual value but
understand that a high residual means a high lease-end purchase price.

I can't comment on your insurance question, but your comment about
leasing and then buying at lease-end tells me you don't understand
leasing very well. If it's important that you have low lease payments,
you should negotiate the highest possible residual value but
understand that a high residual means a high lease-end purchase price.

Re: S2000 OWNERS!!! Help me out.
That's odd cause I see my rate going through the roof. I quoted myself on
Geico and it was outragous. Like 280 for 98 civic ex. I pay only 165 now
with good student and im about to lose it so it will be 210. I'm finding
that I can't get insurance cause of 2 accidents that were not my fault but
they don't like to see my name involved in a claim for some reason. Plus I
just got reported 3 months ago as 30 days late for a mess-up on my quad loan
that Suzuki did and they won't remove it. Dropped my credit score 100
points. I'm so mad. I almost was able to buy a house and now I can't even
insure my car! Frustrating.
