Thinking of buying an impreza turbo.
Current insurer wants plenty of my money, so can anyone help with alternative insurers.
Also what do you think a 00 X / W 5dr will cost???

 

Hi soups and welcome

How old are you?
Do you have any no claims?
Whats your area like?
Who's your current insurer?

There are plenty of knowledgeable people on this board (I'm not one)but they're going to need this kind of info.

Hi, and welcome to the bbs.

Check out the insurance forum, which will give you an accurate guide to the current going rates.

As a guess, depending on age etc 600-1200 quid for a standard car. 800 being the norm.

What Car? Insurance

 

Try AXA insurance

X reg, uk turbo, age 25, full no claims, 3 points, £700 if you bump the excess up!

 

Here's a list of quotes and contacts from when I recently renewed my insurance.

 

Hi guys'n'gals,
Just to clarify our situation at the moment.

The P1 scheme is up and running really well - it seems that I am the only one that keeps claiming on it.

With regard to cover on other types/models - alas at the moment we tend to struggle, unless your cheapest premium is still over £1000!!!...over £1k I can normally haggle with underwriters to try and compete.

We also HAVE to have one of 4 GPS Tracking Systems fitted! Telematics eGuard, RAC Trackstar 24 Hour Guardian, Tracker Horizon or Nav Trak (just negotiated Nav Trak with the insurers - excellent due to cost!! )

However keep your eyes peeled - we are looking to set up a scheme for other Subarus...hopefully an internet based quote system for standard models...however still being available to quote over the phone for the modified/imported ones..

Sorry I can't be of any more assistance at the moment

The best for me and a few of my mates with various cars, try Lancaster ins (Cambs) 01480 484848, I put a voluntary £450 excess on and got it for £650 full breakdown icl.
11points, full NCB age 30 for UK94

 

Any ideas of decent insurers in Australia?

Coz I have no idea.

I'm currently with RACV and they appalling service and exuberant pricing

 

Thanks for all this info. Amazed at the amount of help out there !!!
Currently insured with Bell Direct. They are looking for £830. I'm 31, the car will be standard, on a drive (or garaged - depends who gets home first), I have 7 yrs NC, no accidents, and use the car occasionally for work.
Finally has anyone seen a nearly new X or W reg 2000MY 5 dr advertised (Silver / Blue). Tried Subaru, ixm, autotrader, topmarques etc but dealers want near £20k, and there is nothing private with low miles.

 

MY99 4 door turbo, 33 year old.
SS backbox plus uprated brakes and suspesion.
No points or claims & garaged.
£538 with privilege.
1 small claim this year, but renewal not due to July.
Full NCB protected ( thankfully )
