Wait until you're 30, then buy it. Insurance on that would be between 2500 & 4000 per year for under 30 y.o..

I'd say buy it to, but the insurance could hurt you.

If you really wanted a xr8 that bad , and it's understandable being only 18 ;) , you could allways ask your parents to insure it in their name and put you as a second driver , although if you stack it you will probably have a hefty excess and make the yearly insurance price go up in their name ! .
Its sometimes a cheaper and legal way around it with alot of insurance companys, your covered pretty well in most cases except for your fault crashes , where its still covered but the excess and rating that goes onto your parents name aint the best.

They are great cars, but insurance will kill you. I was paying over $3k for insurance when i first bought my XR8...although my history is not great, and the car was insured for $30k.
19,990 sounds like a bit for a 2001 XR8. Is it a 200 or 220kw XR8? Plenty of potential in the little windsor too, easy 13sec cars with the right bits...

It is legal to insure the car in your parents name ( as if it's their second car ) , and have you down as the second driver , totally legal .
Oh i forgot to mention though , to make it fully legit you would have to put the XR8 in your parents name on the rego/owners papers when you buy it.

You can get a T2 for that sort of money if you look around. For me there is no contest on which to get.

If you hand the money to your parents and get them to purchanse the car , put it in their name , then who is to say it isn't theirs ! , its a totally legit loophole .
