( I drive 30miles to work then 30 miles from work BARE MIN. a day...40.00 to fill every 3days)
Oil Changes- $50.00
(twice a month done at home)
Other Random Maint. avgd per month- 50$ Between brake wear, tire wear, car washes, etc.

How do you all have such low insurance rates? I don't have any tickets, I am 24 and live in michigan and I pay 217 a month to state farm.

what am i looking at insurance wise if i were to get an IX next year?

im 18 now, if i survive this summer with my beastly 97 Ford Explorer (limited edition i might add) i'll only have one speeding ticket. im headin off to college at ASU next year and am not bringing the car from chicago... so what price would i be looking at insurance wise and car wise. I was hoping to get a IX, SE if possible for high 20's, but have no clue what i'd be spending on insurance, I'd be 19 with one ticket at that point in time

During the school year (when I use the Evo as a daily driver) I spend the following each month:

Insurance - $160
Gas - $340
Tires + oil ~ $80
Wear and tear + depreciation - ?

Minimum total cost is therefore right around $1156/month. Can anybody beat that?

EVO IX in Greece costs $60,000 (EVO VI costed $100,000 4 years ago) and the gas is 3-4 times more expensive than the U.S Do you still feel that you pay a lot?
