I'm 21 years old and have been looking at quotes for a hawkeye because I'm planning on buying one in the first few months of the new year.

I've been onto the Admiral Car Insurance and they quoted me £1680 with both my parents as named drivers which I thought was pretty damn good for a 2006 Hawkeye Impreza STI.

I then changed the car to a 2007 Hawkeye Impreza STI and it brought the quote down to £1024 per year...

LOL? That's a damn good quote if it's correct considering I'm 21 where some people aged 18-20 are paying over £2000 per year on tiny vehicles..


Edit: Just changed the vehicle to a peugeot 206 and it's quoting £518 ...I really don't understand how insurance companies work out their quotes....

 

At times I think Admiral baffle those who work in the industry with their prices as well

 

I pay more than that at 32...

Dont forget the difference in road tax between the two when it comes to working out your yearly costs

 

about 3 or 4 years ago i seen a 21 year old insure an impreza type r with Admiral for £1700 with nil ncb and some mods disclosed

crazy

best quote i gave him was £9350

 

Well anyway Ive saved the quote reference and if I can get insured fully comp for that price of about 1 grand, Im gonna be a happy chappy!

I was looking on 'go compare' and the cheapest quotes were all around £4-5k. But I find that 'go compare' sucks with actually comparing and searching for quotes.

And yes PaulJC, however a 2006/2007 hawk are the same road tax of about £420 or something? The only hawk which is the cheaper tax of about £200 is the '55 plate, correct me if Im wrong.

 

06 plate up to 23rd March 2006 are also on lower band :thumbs:

 

My wife (26) has just got insurance with me on a Mercedes B200 Turbo for £1100 and she passed her test 2months ago! With only 60bhp less, living in a Bradford postcode and no driving experience that seems really good as well. Maybe this is the time of year to get a quote...before the winter sets in and cars start sliding around into each other.
