Insurance can be weird. For a while I was paying less for insurance on my 2008 Dodge Viper than I was on my 2001 Ford Mustang GT. It's all risk tables.

- nunez 9y agoAren’t Mustangs more common and thus easier to steal?
- flachsechs 9y agothey're also involved in far more accidents.
- traviswingo 9y agoI feel like I’ve seen more busted up GTs than anything else. I guess it makes sense when you build a 400hp muscle car and sell it for less than $30k.
- nunez 9y agoLol true Janky Mustang GTs are everywhere
- mulmen 9y agoWhy would they be easier to steal because they are more common? Criminals have more experience with them?
- dragonwriter 9y agoMore common cars are easier to sell (or sell parts from) after stealing, and easier to avoid getting caught after stealing. The act of stealing them may not be easier, but the enterprise of stealing them is.
- traviswingo 9y agoInsurance rates are all determined categorically. Mustangs have a higher “accident rate” because they’re cheap and fast and young people with lower incomes, who are also most likely irresponsible, buy them and crash them. Vipers aren’t exactly in the same group. It’s not performance based, just statistics.
- Viper007Bond 9y agoYep, exactly.
