re: Teenager Car Insurance Sticker Shock

$350 Is actually a pretty damn good quote. It was $225 per month just for my son and his seven-year-old civic.


Also you are a damn fool for buying your daughter, a brand new car.

The agreement I had with my kid was that I would buy him a used vehicle and he would pay the insurance. It incentivized him to maintain a job and earn his way. It worked out beautifully as the kid is now paying his way through college and has a nifty savings as well.
