Default Transition from Integra to tC / Insurance

Hi guys, I'm new here. I've been heavily researching cars for the past month and settled to save up my down payment for the 08 tC. I just want to know if anyone owns or did own a teg how was the transition and maybe a comparison between the two?

I'm actually going to buy mine fromt he costco auto wholesale (www.costcoauto.com)

My other question is that how much are you paying for insurance? I might be asking for too much, but i just did the ballpark estimate on allstate and it was pretty hefty (at 1200/6months).

So could u guys list:
1. Age
2. # of tickets or accidents
3. Insurance Company
4. How much paying a month or 6 months.

Sorry if I asked alot, just wanna research the tc before buying it
Thanks everyone.

1. Search. There are already a ton of threads with people listing what they pay for insurance.

2. Call your agent. Tell them you're thinking about getting a new car and would like a quote. They should be able to do it over the phone in a couple minutes, since they already have the bulk of your information.

There are way too many factors involved in something like insurance for you to be able to get much in the way of reliable information based on the experience of others. (Trust me- I help write the software that helps underwriters determine the premium for a given policy at the insurance company I work for). Talking directly to your agent is the fastest and most reliable way to get this sort of info.

(And for what it's worth, mine is about $280 for 6 months for 250/500/500 limits, $250 deduct, and a $1mil umbrella, but I'm also 30, married with a clean record, living in a rural area, and have both my wife's car and our house on the same policy- see what I mean? That's a lot of other factors, and that's just a small portion of what they look at)
