Depends on a ton of factors. When I was looking for a car, my mom called our insurance company and figured out how much it'd cost to insure me on everything from a '80s corolla to a new Lamborghini. Then we'd just fit cars into the spectrum to estimate.
I really need to do this. We use State Farm right now but may be changing soon because their rates are screwed up. In fact, if we bundle our policies right, it'll be cheaper to insure three cars than the two we have under policies right now.
Maybe one day....one day.....I can get a job. And once I do, I'm probably going to scrape together pennies to get some cheap car to get from A to B. Then I'll try for a smartphone. After that, I'm going for a '90s C4 Corvette.
