Most of these young troops buy cars that the insurance payments equal the car payments every month. Imagine that dilemma?
I remember buying my first car when I was in the Navy...the car cost me $3600 and my insurance was $1200 a year in 1977...20 year old E3 with no traffic violations!
I scrimped and saved to buy that car, and when I got the loan approved and went to get the insurance, I nearly fell on the floor.
That little MG Midget took a pound of flesh out of me, too...
