I only have a couple of months left on my learners license now, so naturally I'm looking for a car now. For easily the past 5 years I have wanted a Nissan 240sx. I find one for sale at a dealership 4 hours away, good price/condition. Okay cool.
The asking price is $4000(Canadian), okay a little pricey, but decenr since its a nice car right? Like what is money if you cant spend and enjoy it?
But then I check out some insurance quotes...
What the hell??? $1500 a year more than I paid for the car incase I might do something!!??!?

| Yep, that sounds about right. You're a new driver, it's not exactly the most suited car to learners... It's a high risk equation, insurance is going to be high unless you go for something smaller (engine wise) and safer. |

This is starting to look better now. People down the road have a nice little 1988 Mercedes 260e for sale that could be had for cheap. I figured "Hey its a 19 year old sedan, not very big, not overly quick... it should be cheaper"
Nope.
