KAh well that's down to individual income and I guess where you live. I pay very little for my insurance, since I have 20+ years with zero accidents for instance.

Kidk how it works where you live, but where I am just having a license gets your merits yearly. We have a merit/demerit system, so you get one merit a year for each clean driving year. Goes up to 20. Rates go down as merits go up.
Ewe dont have that here
Einstead by age 24-25 the insurance suddenly drops a month compared to 23 and younger
Otbh if I had $100k to spend on a vehicle I'd be paying a mechanic to retrofit an old 2000s car with a hybrid drivetrain
