2000+ Toyota Celica Insurance and More?

Cory Ferrigno · 10 Apr 2011, 02:09 am

I'm a 16 year old boy and expecting to buy this car for about $6,000 in August.

I am looking for details such as mpg and insurance rates for a 16yo boy buying this car.

I heard the mpg are really good on this car but will it be worth it if the insurance is high?

Help me decide and give me other car ideas under the budget of $7,000

First of all your a minor. Any car you drive that is insured under your name is going to cost a lot of money a month. Second of all your going to get a 2 door sports car and insurance is going to skyrocket even more. There going to look at it this way a minor in a 2 door sports=big disaster waiting to happen. Your going to be looking at least 200-250 for full coverage a month. If you can afford it go for it if not you might want to think about driving a truck or granny vehicle till you get a little older

Expect it to be painfully high.

I have a 2001 Celica GT (not even GTS) and as a 23 yr old female with a 100% clean driving record with no accident history or tickets, the cheapest I could find was to stay under my parents with multiple discounts and pay $430/6 months. It's obscene since it's a 10 yr old 4 cylinder 140 hp car but insurance companies claim it's a "sports car". No. A Porsche is a sports car, not this.

When I purchased it at age 19, I was paying $900/6 months. This has all been with American Family Insurance. The insurance quoter told me I should be thankful I wasn't a guy since it would have been $1600, yes SIXTEEN HUNDRED every 6 months. Thats roughly the same cost for an adult male to insure a $100K brand new Mercedes SL.

I truly suggest you shop around for insurance A LOT and make sure a Celica is an economical option for you. I love my car to death but this insurance cost is the worst!
