Hi

I have been reading through some threads here and i'm wondering if anyone out there who is about 22 yrs old and has an Impreza can tell me who insured their car. Footman James quoted £2800 on a £6k '95 WRX no mods. There must be cheaper ones!

Please help.

Rob.

p.s. places like tesco, 1stQuote.com and some others wont do it online

its much harder to insure a japanese import, the insurers seem to be clamping down on anyone under 25 on any type of scoob let alone jap imports. To be fair your lucky they gave you a price at all.

stoneyb

Might try my chances on a UK 2000 Turbo in that case.

Cheers

try tesco online for a uk turbo, they insured me last year at 23 and this year on mine, £1000 all in protected no claims etc

Try Tesco's

I did try just now but still no joy as they ask you to phone. Reading on here people tell different stories about Tesco so i may just give them a ring. Talking to someone might shed light on the situation.

UK 2000 Impreza standard
1996
Thatcham Cat 1
£5500

Quote was £2200

Tescos are not interested till your 23 or 25 with a lisence for 2 or more years and similar no claims.

Adrian Flux were no good either. I'm thinking i may have to wait a year?

Doh

think the main underwriters for performance cars for youngsters has gone bust. colleague has tesco insurance on his 328 convertible and it tuns out this week (he is 22) tescos cannot renew his policy.

Try Egg I have my son with them for last two years renewal next month just after 24 birthday. He had t have a tracker. Let me know how you get on.

I will start to phone round next week.

im 22 n av a my94 uk. i have 4 years no claims and got insured with tesco`s for £800 3rd party fire n theft. u have to have a traker fitted or they will only insure you 3rd party only.

im 22 got a my97 ra and tescos want 1900tpft with tracker and cat 1 alarm, not bad for a 280bhp import i think.

R1916v

Yeah but TPFT on a car like that!

Elephant quoted me 800fc for me and the missus on a uk turbo, thats 23 yrs old and 4 years no claims.

A celica GT4 was only 650!

stoneyb

Hi, just got a quote from Elephant. Standard UK impreza 1996 with CAT1 alarm and they quote £2500 FC...

Has to be FC on an Impreza ... too much to loose

Rob

R1916v

lol elephant quoted me 850 fc on a 95 uk turbo 23yrs old.

stoneyb

oh this isnt fair

darlodge

stoneyb,

Your correct its no fair, but....insurance has always been expensive and will always be expensive. Have you not considered a lesser car?

I looked into buying a Scooby 2 years ago and realised there was no way I could afford the car without spending all my salary on it, instead I got a mortgage on a house

I really would wait if you can, you will appreciate it more, honestly.

Darren

stoneyb

Yeah, i agree, it does look as though i will be waiting till i'm at least 25. In the meantime, the replacement for my 1.6 petrol 306 will probably be a 306 1.9TD and enjoy cheap economical driving and save!

Thanks for all the comments and i look forward to contributing more in the future.

Rob.

Im 23 and i pay £1400 tpft through Bell Direct on my 93wrx

GrantyBoy

I'm 23 on 98 STI Type R. £1400 fc. I live in a good area. Phoned them up, they said they couldn't insure me so I kicked up a stink about a quote I recived back in feb. Guy on the phone was quality, went to his supervisor and over rid the system.

Think I was one of the last lucky ones, that was 3 weeks ago.

Tesco BTW

i think it seems like rob from the needy & give to the greedy as far as insurance geos

i got mine insured for £600 from tesco with 9years no claims and it had to have tracker but i am old

i say to all the younger lads get your parents to insure it for 1 year
