Ok, well my younger bro needs a car. SoOo, I'm gonna let him have mine, so I can get a new one! Ok, well not new, but a new used one. Anywayz, I'm looking for 6G Accord Coupe EX 5speed b/c I can get my mods from the car I have now over to my new puppy so I don't really have to start allll over. I know it's hard to find a blue or red one, but i'll get my hands on one. Anywayz, a couple of questions about insurance.

1. How much more can I expect to pay per month by switching from a 4door to a coupe?
2. Is true that if you get a red car, you will be paying more per month? If so, how much more?

Hopefully, I'll have this new car by the end of the summer. Thanks in advance.

 

i never had an insurance company ask for the color of my car, so i don't think it matters. it's not the first time i have heard someone ask that, so maybe so some do.

a 2dr will cost a tad more, nothing to get worried over. maybe $50-60 a year more. as the car gets older the difference won't matter as much. with my 5th gen 4dr accord, it's only $24 a year more to insure it as a 95 prelude since i have an H22 i asked about that scenario.

 

Insurance dont always ask for color because you can get it off the VIN number you have to give them... hehe

 

i've heard of some places charging more for coupes and certain colorsof cars saying its a sports car but its a small difference really

 

I don't think color is built into the VIN... Just manufacturer, origin, body type, engine, transmission.

But I've simply called my insurance, told 'em I'm looking at a couple different cars, and asked what the rates would be.

 

Well how the heck did my insurance get color? I didnt tell them...

Also when I registered my car at honda.com it shows my color and I dont remember telling them color...

I am not saying your wrong, maybe my insurance called dealer or somthing, but was just sayin... Maybe some can some cant or I am just all wrong and they found out other ways, I dunno I am no expert but just wanted to state my opinion on what I think...

 

the color shouldnt be a part of the vin cuz thats something on the car you can change constantly. thats on the regestration and maybe the title but i dont think on the VIN you'll find it

 

Color isn't apart of the VIN number.
So the bottom line is I should expect to pay about $50 more per year for the coupe? and there isn't an increase for certain colors?
I guess I'll just call my insurace company and find out.
Thanks guys.

 

I learned in drivers ed that all colors are the same except for red which makes insurance go up $10....I also found it odd that the difference for insurance for me between the i4 03 accord and the v6 is only $10.

 

Think of it this way....no matter what you pay its still cheaper than the raping Geico gives me at 4200/6months on my Supra I think with a decent driving record and depending on how old you are and how many cars you own.......the insurance on my accord with a crappy driving record and a 9 car discount is 847/year..........so if I got a coupe I might be looking at 900/year.....so either way its not too bad. Good luck!
