Insurance for 23 year old!
Hi guys, I've just joined the forum :) My mum is selling her 97 import wrx and she has offered it to me for the price of a beer... So it would be rude to say no.. I've always wanted to own an Impreza, but never been in the position to be able to afford a clean example, but now I do..
The problem I am having is insuring it. I probably sound like a broken record ;) I'm 23 (24 in September) and I have 2 years no claims. I own a car already and a van so the Impreza will cover very few miles a year. I currently pay £380 for a 1993 Clio 1.8 16v through Greenlight, but you have to be 25 for Impreza insurance through them.. The cheapest quote I have had is £3860 (comparison site), which is just ridiculous.. Should I just forget it til I'm 25? Or is there hope for me yet? Thanks |
Hi and welcome,
Please feel free to give us a try for insurance if you like. If you wanted to Private Message me your details I'd be happy to arrange for one of my quotes team to give you a call back. Regards, Dan. |
The insurers we (Keith Michaels) deal with would need a minimum of one years experience on a similar car before we could quote.
I'd normally suggest Admiral for under 25's without the experience. |
avoid comparison sites, ask for restricted mileage, eg 1500 miles per year, or 3000 etc.
|
When you say a similar car.. My Clio is turbo'd.. 212bhp and I've owned that for a year now.
|
I could possibly look at it in that case
|
I found that the import cars were harder to insure over uk cars.
And no one would touch me till I was 25 on a uk car either. How ever sky came up trumps in the end with decent cover and extras at a decent price. |
Im 23, got my Impreza when I was 22, paid £400 or there abouts to insure it! Admiral for me mate.

I'm 36 and the cheapest quote I've had in 9 years of Impreza ownership is £500. Full no claims and Full Comp with 19 years experience! |

I've had this conversation on various threads before, tbh I've never paid over the odds for insurance! Edit** I have my mother on the policy as a third named driver as well! |

That is mental amounts! Has insurance risen ridiculously lately?
I had an RB320 when I was only just 23 and was quoted £850 for it, I'm only paying about £700 on a Type UK and am 24 next month also. |
Perhaps it's down to the age of the car too? An older car will just be written off in the event of a claim..
|
Well for reference, im 22 and with Bell, have 3 year no claims (soon to be 4 next month) and pay £1300 a year with my mods declared on my import STi Type R. And I've insured that for nearly a year now. I've got a funny feeling they will try and not come down this year so will have to look else where come renewal time.
You'll find a lower insurance quote but it just takes time. |
