Which would be cheaper to insure for a 21 year old?

A classic Turbo 2000 UK car or a 03 WRX STI Type uk?

Cheers

 

Is this a serious question?

 

yes, ive had a quote of £2800 on a WRX STI 03 plate but was wondering if a classic would be cheaper to insure. Why wouldnt it be a serious question?

 

Just wondering

 

I have heard newer cars are cheaper to insure, was just wondering if that was true for someone my age?

 

 

No, usually it is the opposite

A 280+bhp car valued around £15k should always be more expensive than a 220bhp car valued at around £8k

 

Get a few quotes, you'll be suprised at what random numbers get thrown up

 

Scooby matt I have done a few quotes and noticed that they are very random lol.

Thanks Moley, the reason I asked was because i was told on another forum that insurance companies see an owner of a more expensive car as more likely to respect it more.
Thanks for your help.

 

i wish things like that were the case. it would be nice if they took things such as "im 21 and receeding so wont drive fast" or "little fat so cant steer as quick". if that were the case my insurance would be free!!!

 

also imports r dearer too insure than home domestic cars

i can c why with the bhp difference

but.... parts r the same whether the car is jap or uk spec lolz

 

I rekon you may struggle cos of your age
My ins comp told me anything with a turbo is group 17

 

I am 22 and have a 06 WRX got a good deal from bell.co.uk the key is to shop around some of them wanted £7,000 got it for 1,500 in the end

 

someones done alright for themselves lol (not jealous honestly )

like others have said mate shop around, use the net for discounts and get on the phone for a day, you really could save lots.

i started off at £3500 fully comp for my wrx (which cost roughly the same lol). made a few calls and had it down to £3000 a year (again too much considering ive got a mortgage lol). did some searches on the net, hours and hours of tweaking to make sure i had the right cover... and presto £2250 fully comp (£500 excess though). thats for a 21 year old, only been driving 5 months after passing my test, on a 240+ bhp car. reasonable all things considered.

get looking and do the research, you will save bundled if you know where to look and haggle.

good luck fella

 

Iam 21 with a 53 reg sti ppp few modifications through admiral 1200 for the year fully comp with 4 yrs no claims guaranteed hire car protected ncb and audio cover unlimited milage dont go any where near norwich union they quoted me a staggering 13500 for the year

 

lol christ! i tried to see what insurance would be for me on a 54 blobeye type uk sti thingy lol and it came back at £5300. think il stick to the wrx for the moment until ive been driving a few months

 

chocolate o brian what insurance companiy did you get the £2250 quote from?

cheers

 

ermmmmamamamam it was screentrade i believe. found it through the interent, autotrader or something. then got the quote and went to their site direct, corrected any errors and up popped the quote!

 

cheers mate ill give them a try!

 

no problems...

 

If I swap my 2001 WRX PPP for a new STI (bugeye) with PPP I can get it for 300 less.. so what's all that about then... I can also get an BMW M5 and a 911 insured for less...

 

that must be the greatest insurance deal in the history of scoobynet.

im paying that and i fookin 27!
