Ask DaveU

He has a Skyline GTR 33 !

I'm 22 and own a MY93 WRX, last year when i was 21 insurance was 2k, this year i've got trade insurance at about he same cost plus it insure's my to drive anything. But the draw back is that the excess is 10% of the vehicles value and you only get trade price back on any damage.

Im 23 and drive a 93WRX, insured with privelege (0113 2436855) 5 yrs NCB, £1300+£650 XS. They allow you up to 10% BHP increase, and up to £250 on styling(including lowering) with no extra cost. Not bad I think.
ROB

I'm 23 and have a standard UK turbo. I'm insured with Privelege through Barclays.
Premium is £1300 with an XS of £100.

Mojo

I was 22 when i got my STI-V Type R - with a full Blitz system the insurance was 1650 with 500xs through OPI (they are in Brum somewhere).
I got my Skyline when i was 23 and the insurance was hiked 'slightly' to 3000 through OPI - shopping around i got it down to 2500 with 500xs through Performance Marques. Obviously this is a silly amount to pay - and that's why it's for sale http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif (see 'for sale' section)

Dave

I was 18 when I got my turbo, Im now just 20.

I went with Zenith first which was 3k now Im with Subaru Privilidge for 2.2k

Cheers

Steve

I was 18 when i got my sport, I wanted a turbo but the least insurance quote i could get was 3000-4000 like yourself, needless to say that I didn't get a turbo. I'm waiting until 21 where it should have gone down quite abit http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Ian

im 20 costs me £950. The snag is its on a fleet policy! if you can get a few people together and get a fleet policy the insuarnce will be alot better !!!

if you want to no more just shout!!


Denz

I am 25 with full no-claims bonus and 3 points for speeding.
My insurance only costs me £600 fullycomp.
The only advantage of staying in the middle of nowhere!

Colin, you forgot the best advantage......quiet roads for scooby fun!!!

I'm 21 and paying £1700 with £900XS and Track Day cover with Privilage.

Looking at the posts above it seems privilage are the best for people of our age, so I'd suggest you give 'em a call.

Also I decreased my premium by £200 by increasing the XS by £400... which to me seems like a good deal.

I'm 24, and I'm picking my scooby up tomorrow (red mica metallic) - the wait has been killing me, not to mention the insurance!

Last year :

STI Type-R
age 21
4yrs NCB
6 points (speeding)
London postcode

1,750 + 1,000 excess (eek)
car valued at 20,000

dude try 24 two turbo's and a Chuffing quote of £4.595!!!! for just the one!!!...no conviction's points,,,,etc etc....in the end had to register the car's in my father's name....quote came down to £800

good luck chap

I'm 24, MY99 UK Turbo, just renewed with Barclays, £987 6 years NCB, clean licence, £100 excess. Been insured with Admiral since getting car in Nov 98, cost then £540 and last year £850. Barclays are currently offering to beat ANY renewal figure, hope it helps,

Nick

Same as Alec...22 and drive an MY93 WRX.

£1250 with Adrian Flux (Highways motor Policies)

XS is £500 and Ive no idea about what they allow upgrade wise.

Rich

A bit of international perspective, I am 21, have a MY00 Turbo, and my insurance fees are around £1000.....
