Insurance @ 20?
Hello I'm new to the site but always been interested in Scoobs
I currently drive an SW20 (MK2 MR2) which is a nice car and I do really like, especially having the roof off, but I need 5 seats realistically, and i want more power so was looking at scoobs for around the 5-6k mark. In Feb all being well I will have 1 years NCB with a clean license and be 20, is there any chance I will be able to get insured on one for a reasonable price? I've been getting a few quotes and they're well over the 3k mark tpft! :eek2: Any chance of insuring something like this? Subaru : Mines V6 Sti Impreza |
You will struggle getting low priced insurance on any subaru at 20 really, and then most companies wont insure drivers under 25 on STi's as they are a higher performance/higher risk car.
You can try keith michaels, though I think 2-3k is what your going to be looking at really :( Tony:) |
at 21 mine was 2200 , that was 4 years ago , so god knows what it will be now , try green light mate
|
age 20 and 1 year no claims
might as well pull ur pants down and bend over now!! my bro was 22 and had 3 years no claims and he paid £1200 quid which is reasonable |
as above mate . you wont pay less than 3g id emagine .
keep trying though |
insurance is crazy prices on scoobys for young drivers, just to give you an idea im 23 and have a clean license and 4 years no claims and the cheapest insurance quote i could get on my 2004 wrx is £1900 with admiral. daylight robbery really but if you want a nice car you have to pay it. ive heard if you go for a wagon it works out a bit cheeper but your probly still gona be talking silly money

You are in a good situation to buy a mint classic UK turbo 2000 now. 98-00 on your budget.
Once you see one you like, try giving A plan a call. It would help having more NCB though. I had 3 years NCB when I insured my scoob at 20(last year), and I paid roughly £1700 TPFT... Alan Edited to say - Just noticed that you were looking at a V6 Sti. All I do is be honest and say no chance. You could be talking almost £3000 third party! Not really worth it. Start off with a UK turbo(208 - 214bhp), to get a year's experience: which insurers like on a car like this. Then you will 21, and have another year's no claims, so will be in a better situation to start looking at Sti's. Really nice tidy car that Sti though...I noticed it on pistonheads yesterday |
I'm 23 with 5 years no claims, I paid £900 fully comp for my99 uk classic turbo, sti's are more again!
Good luck though, if you can get a good price that you can afford. DO IT! |
im 25 3 yncb fully comp 700 quid which is fooking good for london
|

crazy! Why is that crazy exactly? It is probs worth a maximum of £4000 to an insurance company(maybe less), so why would I want to claim if I put it through a hedge and wrote it off? Would ruin my insurance for life. |
so you either pay £3800 up front in insurance or at least £4500 if you pay it over a year and do it monthly as they add interest on to you!
thats £450 a month over 10 months. crazy!! but if you work hard enough then why not! good on you! |
I'm 20 now, 2k with 1 year no claims. try companies like 4youngdrivers.
ive had my scoob since i was 18 an its a 94 import runnin about 340 with declaired mods. So not as bad as people say if you shop around alot |

when i got my impreza insured i was 20 and i put my old man on my insurance and it was still 1700 a yr, and thats on a uk 2000 turbo, just got my renewal through and they dropped it down to 700 just because im now 21, will be 22 at the end of the year, funny how a newer blobeye sti on fully comp insurance is only 50 pounds more lol

(most of the time) |

For younger drivers I would say dont even bother until you have at least 3 years NCB - it does make a big difference towards lowering the cost. Anyone with no or 1 year is going to be looking at paying £3000 on a car that isnt worth much more than that.

Jesus! A Z4 AND an STI at 23? You must either have a very good job or a big credit card bill ;)

just can't see the point of chucking good money to drive a 10 yr old car about.
given the high running costs too..... if you have £3000/4K a yr spare buy a house, go on nice holidays- but honestly to sit in a 10 yr old car worth £3K-£4k anyway ???? its just not going to be anything remotely special anyway. each to their own-but just coming at it from an older point of view- been there done that kind of thing. |
