    I dont know if anyone could help me with this, if you could that would be great...I want to buy a car when Im down there (so I can drive back to Canada as well as more convient for transportation while and disney, and of course....coco beach road trips. How much is insurance in the states typically? plus is there any dealerships that give CM's discounts? or are there a lot of CM who sell thier cars at the end of thier program?

    My dream is a sebring convertable for some reason, and I know that there is one waiting for me in Florida some where!

    As much as I get for selling my BMW over here. Hopefully somewhere in the $5-6000 region.

    Hi buddy! I'll be there in a dew days and I worked all the winter to save money for the car and trips.
    You can check insurance at this website.

    people use to sell it...in particular members from europe and asia. (i'm a US cars lover,but bring it to italy would be too expensive).

    There are no discount for cast members.

    see you soon and check cars here

    I have researched it, car insurance is quie expensive compared to what i pay now, though i do drive a 19year old vauxhall nova so it wasn't going to be that expensive anyway. Plus you have to pay extra to be insured against uninsured drivers if that makes sense. I'm gunna buy a VW convertable beetle cause i always thought it was an ace car, but my parents want me to buy a convertable mustage, which is better cause im a girl who is clueless about cars!! Seriously i judge them on color!! lol

    Jesus, id love to have the cash to spend on a car.

    Im hoping to have enough to buy a beach buggy or jeep soft top. Seriously doubt I will though. Plus the hassle of selling it after a year! You could stand to lose a lot of money. Or worst case scenario, you don't sell it. Il set my budget at $3000 if I can afford it

    Was also thinking of buying a bike instead. It will get me from a-b and is cheaper to run and buy. Plus its "open top" ;D

    When I was out there in march, my rental car was a H3 Hummer which only got me about 16 MPG but as gas is so cheap it still cost me less to get to get around than it does over here!

    And going up every day it seems! I remember when I was 17 & passed my test it was about 49p a litre. 10 years later it has more than doubled! Damn Iraq wars or whatever causes these things!

    I saved money all the time for the car in the USA and the insurance! But i'm a car - fanatic...so I may be a little strange.

    Gas in abnormal in USA..almost 4$ a gallon. so 1 dollar/litre. In italy we pay 1.55 euros/litre (2.25USD/litre)

    i'm planning to buy a car with an avarage fuel economy of 20 mpg
