Default Insurance Rates

Hello,
I'm a 20 yr old student at the University of Delaware. I live in Bergen County, NJ and am curious what the yearly insurance costs are for having a vehicle such as this. As it is now, I am trying to justify the purchase of this car. Currently I have a '98 A4 but that is getting old, and with the real world quickly approaching, and soon to be in the workforce, I am looking for a better vehicle that I would better enjoy driving. Any help with this would be appreciated. As it is, I only have 1/3 of the cost under my belt, the rest I might handle thru loans and additional income that I would receive before the time of purchase.

Thanks for the Help

What car are you looking to buy??? If it is the IS300, it is in the top 10 cars that are the most expensive to insure!!!

Yea. Thats why I traded in my 2004 IS300 for a 2006 GX470. Kinda stupid but it was worth it. Especially in the winter it sucks with the snow and when I drove to the city the potholes was the #1 killer for my IS300. Know with my 2006 GX470 I don't have to worry about that and my insurace was also $650 lower a year than my IS300. The only thing that sucks now is the gas prices. DAMN
