Young-ish driver needing some advice/info please
ello....
Im currently looking into buying a Newage WRX STI UK Type, but insurance companies are being right idiots when quoting me!!
Info
Age - 22
NCB - 3 Years
Convictions / Speeding etc.. - NONE
Insurance Cover - Definately Fully Comp
I thought with me being 21 with 3 years NCB I would be getting some decent quotes.
Ive tried the comparing sites (moneysupermarket.com / confused.com) but the cheapest fully comp im mangaging to get is £2200. Which is alot of money for insurance! I would never consider 3PFT etc.. as the car will be worth well over 10k! plus i know some companies require fully comp when the value of the car is above a certain amount.
Basically its a Noob asking for some advice, am i best to go for specialists, that deal with performance cars etc.. will they be more understanding or will they just rip my eyes out too?
Obviously im going to try - Keithmicheals, a-plan, green flag as they are the most commonly used on here.
Or am i seriously dreaming about getting a Newage WRX STI? unless im willing to pay serious £££ for insurance?
Any advice / info greatly appreciated.

doubt a plan and keith michaels will do a quote cos of age, although have a word with gary see what he can swing.
2k is about where i'd expect price tb be considering you age/ncb etc

Gary Moulson from Keith Michaels insurance, posts on here as moley.
He would be a good person to talk to but dont kid yourself into thinking you can get insurance for under a grand.

I would have thought Gary would be your best bet mate.
A lot of insurers decided that you had to be over 25 to get insured on a subaru, so you might find it hard to get people to quote you, keep plugging away.

try www.hertsinsurance.com, they seem to be pretty resonable on quotes, lots of options for young drivers/modded cars etc, worth a go.

Cheers Raulus, will get them a try.
5t, unfortunatley im only driving a 94 Honda Civic 1.5, which indeed is a massive step up.
From a - 1.5 N/A - 140bhp - group 14 - Civic Coupe - Value £1500
To a - 2.0 Turbo - 261bhp - group 20 - Impreza STI - Value £13000
As you can see from the above, slight difference lol
The standard WRX's are only 220 bhp arent they? what other differences? interior down grade? etc....

Spoke to a guy at MCEModifiedcars.com and seemed pritty helpful.....reckons he will be able to beat my cheapest quote (£2200) by a few hundred quid. Even though the original quote they gave me was close to £4k haha
Lets see what he comes up with, also asked for a price on a newage wrx.

Yeah 220 for standard WRX still a massive step for you from the Civic but a chance to learn how the car plays. Plus easily moddable to STi+ performance once you've got the hang of it and got the all important "experience"
good luck.

good luck.

Hi mate, think your quotes gona be a killer considering your age and the age of the car regardless of who you go to.
im 26 and driving a classic '94 and paying a grand for insurance but then i have got 6 points (had 9) but found the guys a Car insurance quotes online - cheap car insurance quotations from leading UK broker. quite helpfull. give them a call on 08707 709070 as i found doing the net quote anywhere always more expensive.
good luck to you mate
