does somebody know an insurance company that would insure a 22 year old with a WRX import and still allow mods???? these supposed specialists are no good whatsoever and the major ones who say yes say they wont even cover alloys which seems pretty pathetic to me. ANY IDEAS?????? THANKS

 

Many companies inist on 30+ for imports so I'm not surprised.

Have you got a couple of years No Claims?

If so, try Keith Michaels.

aye, got 3 years. some arnt bothered thats its import and some wont touch it with a bargepole i can get it though just wondering if there was some obscure company that id never heard of who would do it for less then £1500

will try keith micheals tomo

cheers

 

£1500 sounds good. Who's that with?

 

I paid £1600 for my MY00 UK Turbo when i was 22 like, with Tesco's.

Give them a try.

 

tescos wont insure anyone under the age of 25 now? i tried them a few months back and thats the reply i got.

 

hi mate im with tesco. im 23 with three years no claims and i picked my new turbo 2000 up yesterdady and theyll isure me for 1400 as long as its got a cat one and a tracker not sure why they said they wont insure anyone under 25 cos i rang up yesterday and paid them for mine might be worth giving them anoher try (then again it is a wrx thats probably why)

 

What about A-Plan? Try calling the Thatcham branch (www.a-plan.co.uk) - they specialise in Subarus.

If you've got a good history of owning performance cars, they're more likely to insure you. If the Subaru is your first you're going have a bit more trouble.

Somebody young got a fair deal from that performance car specialist (I forget the name) based near Kings Lynn on the A47. However, I've always found them too expensive.

 

if u mean adrian flux, ive tried them and they wont do imports for anyone under 25 im gonna try tesco if they will insure a 23 yr old male im a woman so that should help calling a-plan tomorrow aswell.

thanks

 

Mate PM a guy on here called LUCKO, he will sort you out, ive been in youre boat and it aint fun

 

It's the import thing, uk cars are ok, it's the imports and yougsters they don't like, i tried quotes a few years back all uk cars were fine, soon as you import was mentioned it was 'call us'.

 

try admiral

 

hmmm. up til a few weeks ago norwich union wouldnt even insure on a uk one. they will now. doesnt help me much with an import tho. im with them at moment with my sport. gonna try em again tomo.

import not a good idea then???

 

Prbably not for your age, but it's swings and roundabouts, imports are generally cheaper than uk cars, and the insurance is the opposite, so there probably wouldn't be much in it.

Cheaper Car= Dearer Insurance
Dearer Car = Cheaper Insurance

 

insured with admiral, when my renewal comes i will be 22 with 2 years ncb and will cost 1600 quid, for a 01 wrx, with prodrive styleing, so exhaust alloys and spoiler mods

 

elephant may do ya insured me when i was 23 for a mere £1950tpt&t on my old 93 wrx jdm

 

that uk or import????

 

sounds like uk mate

 

uk

 

mines import. i think admiral said about 1600. so far zenith are £1500ish, but i want cheaper

 

1500 quid sounds good mate to be honest

 

sounds good, that sound absolutely unbelievable these days

I cant even get a quote less than 6 grand and im turning 23 soon

so who is it that will insure for 1500, im taking my policy out tomoro

 

Elephant are good, thats who im with. Im 24 drive a 2002 uk wrx, pay around the £900 mark.

i have a Sti version 5 wagon, obviously import

 

Worth a try though

 

true the worst they can say is no or give a silly price i guess

 

Give them a go, am interested to see what they come back with

www.elephant.co.uk

 

hopefully got on with keith michaels for just under £1400

RESULT!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats £100 better off in my pocket

 

Correction: £80 for you £20 referral fee for me!!!

I was also in the same position and tried everyone, I was at the point of selling my Turbo Modified Import until I came across a guy called LUCKO on here. I am just getting my car resprayed then getting it insured by him
