Default Insurance on the Type R is crazy!

I just got an insurance quote from my friendly advisor. She tells me that the insurance on my recently purchased Type R is more than my S2000!

Damn, when did the insurance rates go up that much for these cars?!?

Kinda ironic that my supposed winter beater is more in insurance than my summer car!

yeah you pay for having a high profile, high theft auto. I hate insurance companies. Just raking in the cash and when you need money from them they "investigate" you for it. I should go into thae insurance business and become rich.

Rguy, who would sell insurance to HT members for mucho discount.

U guys are lucky. Guess how much those ppl in HK gotta pay for their TypeR? If u don't have 30,000+ HKD cash in your hand(for insurance alone) don't EVEN bother thinking about getting any TypeR.

Hey Hey Hey, just wait a second their guy did i just hear you call the type r a beater (by hear i mean read), the type r althought not as nice as your s2k is still and awesome car, and far from any sort of beater status.

Reply coming from a current type R owner, so not biased what so ever.

LMAO sorry....30,000HKD= around 6000cad. What is that in USD depends on that day's exchange rate.

6000cad is just a conservative # that I can remember. Probably more.

Only $300 / 6 months for me on my 2001 R. Gotta love good student discount, multiple cars on policy discount, home owners policy discount.

30,000 HK Dollars = $3,846.84 US dollar. Damn that is alot for insurance but I heard that theft in HK is pretty bad. They like to steal the cars and ship them out to other countries.

Thats because ITRs get stolen all the time in Toronto. I wouldn't bother owning one if I lived there. Its not worth the headache.
