This is why I always find the "What do you pay for insurance?" threads that come up hilarious since there is not any possible way people can compare.
You guys pay, pay, pay for everything though! Buddy of mine just bought a $3.2 million two bedroom bungalow that would have cost about $150,000 here.
I can't catch a break on insurance. 31 now, never a claim all these years & clean record. When I was young they kept saying it would get cheaper one day G1,G2,G (with driving school for price break), turned 25 (suppose to be cheaper after) etc, not once have I gotten a break lol.. Still pay over $2200 for my Brz currently.

Yea Toronto is just a wild place right now... Between housing prices, Insurance and businesses not allowed to open it's been rough. I thought I did good selling my house before covid, now I'm just shaking my head looking at places

Wow! I see where you are coming from my friend

Yep, dealership and Honda rep said "Hmm, that should never happen". They replaced both the exhaust and the carpet under warranty.

This is the same Civic that they also repainted due to "spider veining" in the paint.

Both were done in the last few months of warranty, and I was the second owner of the car.

Actually it was a great car, I loved it. Other than those two things it was trouble free for 200K miles which is pretty amazing for a 1977 small car.

I suppose they would cover the car anyway, not the exhaust system but....
Ask Frost about the (IIRC) oil cooler and his S2000... Last I heard he was sueing the shop who did the install. (faulty installation, oil in engine compartment, fire).

Toronto is a big factor in all this. I moved into London for a year and my insurance premium dropped significantly (down from ~150/mo to ~90/mo IIRC) and I was about your age (32) at the time. Back in Toronto, and back paying Toronto rates now though!

I think I'm around $1860 a year with monthly payments. I was with TD the year I got mine and they tried to jacked the price up $600 after the first year for no reason.

Once the car is payed off there are a couple of boxes I can untick

Guess I need to move away from GTA. Thought my insurance was "affordable"...

A bit less than a grand a year on Vancouver Island. We just got a rebate as Covid has brought accidents and payouts down.
