I own 3 american cars, my daily driver is a Chevrolet Camaro Z28 with a 305 cubic inch (5 litre) V8 engine, it is 20 years old now, and I have a limited milage policy of 3000 miles and I can get the basic fully comp cover for around �157 (I pay a bit extra for other benefits like legal cover, etc). You can also get 4500 and 6000 miles a year cover, they told me to phone them if and when I reach the 3000 in that year and I can upgrade it.. I think it was about �15 for 4500 and �27 for 6000. Parts are very easy to get.. and relatively cheap. A set of front disc pads, �15 + VAT. I use Adrian Flux insurance company. I get people saying things like "That must cost a fortune in petrol" .. well, I can get 25mpg on a run, but around town and if accelerating quickly it may be only 15mpg.. but you do get performance usually only found in expensive sports cars.. and an american car is a head turner, both young and old people admire them.. you are driving something different. You can pay �2000 for a yank car and turn more heads than spending �10,000 or more on a euro-box that every man and his dog have. Insurance and parts are cheap and the depreciation of the car is quite low.. so actually they do work out cheaper to run than your average car.
