19 Year old looking for insurance
Looking for some insurane companies to try out because im thinking about buying a Impreza Turbo 2000 (UK Model)
will be 19 with 2 years no claims. I want it fully comp in my own name
Any chance of someone insuring me do you think for around £2500, or should i just wait until im a bit older

Wait until you are a bit older m8. I had to wait until I was 21 to get my sti 4. Well worth the wait though!!!

forget it. Most insurance companies wont touch anyone under 25 (recent new policy i think) and if anyone did insure a 19 yr old it would be about 3k
good luck
good luck

Chris is right. It is best to wait till you are 21 then Tesco 4 definite will insure you.
Or alternatively go under a parents name and go 4 a any named driver policy. I was quoted £2300 under this when I purchased my STi VerIII.
In then end I went under my dads business policy as even £2300 is expensive.
If you want 1 now tho... dont let insurance stop u. Go 4 any named driver and you will get it...

So im going to go to an insurance company with a crap car, insure it on my own name and then be allowed to drive any other car (Quinn direct does this), and quin direct said you can drive the other cars as often as you want and do however many miles you want.
All i have to do now is persuade my mother to insure the scoob in her name for me (£450 for a Turbo 2000), she is silly with these types of things and will need some persuading.

Prob about 60 BHP at the most ! I now run a MY04 WRX and i know that i aint imortal..... Just some friendly advice.....
I know an impreza is a car to be respected and I certainly wont be abusing it and driving outside what i am capable of. An impreza is going to react totally different to my current car, and im going to have to get used to the way it reacts before pushing it a bit.

Go for it Jon mate, I am 
You'll be perfectly legal to drive it, I'm sure she'll come round with a bit of persuading! Just make sure you respect the car and you'll have no problem.

All insurance companies seem to keep changing the rules as they go along, I know they have changed a lot in the last few years.
Give Egg a try, my son has been with them with a classic for past three years, they do require a tracker.
