i have seen a nice 93 wrx for £2200. new engine, clutch and gear box. with a carbon fibre bonnet.

i went to moneysupermarket.com to price insurance and the cheapest quote was £4196.... every other website was up around £6200 i'm 19... with no no claims bonus and live in northern ireland... but this is just ridiculous... i tried limiting the miles to 4000 and tried classic insurance but still well over £5000.

anyone know a cheap insurer that might cover me??

I think that no no claims at 19 and Northern Ireland will put off a lot of companies, I think you may have to either pay a high premium or wait until you are a little older with some no claims under your belt. Sorry to be a bearer of bad news.

Try Greenlight,but as said above be prepaired to pay a small fortune.

i'm thinking of getting someone else to insure it in their name & me as a named driver hopefully i don't crash again though

Mandz

Yourself as a named driver is probably the main factor in the price.Have you tried Tesco,Admiral,Elephant,Greenlight,etc??

Because most insurance companies aren't stupid, and they know what you're trying to do

that comment is exactly why companies wont touch u, your way way to young and inexperienced to be driving such a powerful car.

m8 do,nt touch that car !!!!!!!!!!!! not even for £500

Mandz

why not??

Mandz

i drive a similar car all the time thank you very much! and it was a wall i reversed into, not an actual other car....

Mandz

a friend was telling me if i insure a car in my name fully comp, something cheap, then i get someone to insure the scoob, i can drive it, aslong as i have their permission, then if i crash, i just say i was borrowing it, and it wont do the persons no claims bonus any harm because it will be through my insurance.... ? is that possible... or legal?

Good luck getting DOC (driving other cars) at 19
If you can't afford to insure it legally why bother getting one?

Agreed, just get something smaller and cheaper until your age doesn't mean big bucks for the ins company.

Mandz

just burst my bubble

yeaam gona work up some NCB & then get a newer scoob in a few years

war1974

and wrx dont class in insurance terms as classic cars so you wont get a discount that way.

just get some experience then move up to big power cars

Mandz
