Im glad he did post that info here. If he had not maybe he would never get insurance. But obviously since he did he heard some stong opinions and it might have changed his stance. I understand his point though, Mexican car insurance is second to none, like he said it is practically free. So being young as he and putting myself in his shoes going from practically free insurance (prolly paid for by his father) to on his own and expensive I understand why the risk was taken. Car insurance is not looked at the same here as in Mexico, so his initial opinion prior to cost was cloudy as well.
I just got a quote on my VX, my soon to be wife's Explorer, and my firebird for $123.67 a month full coverage through Geico.
