mine only £500 fully comp fully protected all mods listed but no real power gain mods only PPP so £500 not bad im not 20 years old tho
I was quite naughty when younger driving so would have prehaps been bit better than that.
so be good ;-) .

do you have a good history of faster cars? that sometimes helps things aswell as age.

Not bull, I'm 21, got my father and uncle as named drivers but I am the policy holder, registered keeper and main driver. I'm insured with Elephant for £1000 on a 2003 STi. Exhaust modification declared, no other mods to declare.

OP: Comparison sites are your best bet.

don't get your hopes up too much.. 25 isn't the golden age.. it's more 30+ (but they don't tell you that) lol

Insurance prices seem to be very irregular...I tried to insure my lad (20) on my freelander...last Sept best quote was Around 2 grand...last night got a quote off Post office insurance of £953

Im 21 and have a 2005 STI and pay 1k

Jesus! Your getting stung. I'm 17 on a provisional license and its costing me £120 on my rb320 :hjtwofing

ramboscooby 02 March 2013 11:33 AM

lol some of these prices are stupid.
there are so many factors when it comes to insurance eg postcode, age, points, mods, UK or import, job, how many been stolen/crashed etc.
the thing is ok the UK spec are cheaper to insure but i find there's so many imports that are reg'ed as a non turbo and people lie to get the quotes down eg there's no mods its garaged i only do 3k a year the funny thing is if you crash it your so called insurance is void.
to OP if you want a sti then make sure you insure it properly cause if you crash it and insure it as something its not it pushes everyone else's insurance up.

JamesDundee 09 April 2013 09:19 PM

I found for the BB postcodes Greenlight quoted me a cracking price. Ste - Maybe give them a buzz when your renewal is up.

mogs132 10 April 2013 12:41 AM

I've tried since i was 18 to insure an impreza only dropped from around 3k to 1300 when i was 21. Got a hawk sti with exhaust declared with elephant for around 1300, got my mum and dad as my named drivers, brought it down a fair bit.

Peedee 10 April 2013 12:58 AM

Gotta love how some folk quite obviously lie about how much there policies cost!

I'm 30, 8 years no claims, no points or previous in the past 5 years, held a license since 2001 and my car is insured under an Army barracks I.e a secure, non-public compound, probably the most secure place with exception to your car being on the moon. I pay £605 per year, that's with the tracker registered and activated and an aftermarket cat1 cobra alarm.

Although when I was 18, I managed to get insured on a Ferrari f40 for just £200 a year....stuck me old dear on it didn't I......right shrood move!! :Whatever_ :cuckoo:

I had very similar recently although it was a Navy base and I've got 6 points for an SP50, license since '02 and I'm 29. £950 for a UK wagon.
A buddy of mine has an FQ360, is 24 and reckons he pays £800. Hmmm...

Although we are considered very high risk drivers by insurance companies, mainly down to blokes coming off tour minted at 18 yrs old, buying fast cars and then crashing them!

Must have his mum on the policy ;)

Good point :lol1:
Twice I've come off patrol and bought motors lol
A 106GTI and an E36 M3evo. I didn't crash them though :thumb:

Infected by sti 10 April 2013 02:11 AM

I've just had a young lad of 19 buy my M3 cab today, he's paying £4850 and insured it there and then Infront of me, I know the boy and has been involved with cars from a young age, he was trading before he even had a licence with the help of his mother, fair play to him I say :eek: at least he's dug his hand in his pocket and insured it correctly, he's always pestered me about it and now he finally has it, in his words " its only money, at least I got something I really want " best of luck to him I say :thumb:

salsa-king 10 April 2013 07:04 AM

£5k for ONE near!!!

pimmo2000 10 April 2013 07:12 AM

I'm 30, full NCB, been driving Imprezas for 10 years and pay £800 for a basic UK Turbo.

marshall332bhp 10 April 2013 07:18 AM

i had my 03 sti insured with admiral for £650 or there abouts 28 8 years ncb

adz556 10 April 2013 07:34 AM

I bought my wrx for my 21st birthday and I paid £1600 and it was standard.......the day before my 21st it still quoted me £7500!!!!

Fonzey 10 April 2013 03:20 PM

My postcode must be decent I guess, as I'm paying less for my first time Scooby than some are for older and slower cars despite being 4 or 5 years my senior.

I don't think people are lying, insurance costs just seem to vary massively for seemingly insignificant factors.

Mine was the same on my RS, i bought it in august, and couldnt get insured for less than £4000, waiting till september (when i turned 21) and it went down to £900! also looked at an evo at the same time as the RS, that was £7000+ in august, then went down to around £1500 when i turned 21....

Does make me laugh though that some of the old people on here dont believe what some of us pay on insurance lol, just cuase theres "is only a couple hundred less" weve got to be lying lol maybe your just not shopping around properly ;)

daz b 10 April 2013 04:20 PM

Excess can make a difference,a mate once had a £2500 ex on a £5000 car.

It's obvious that some folk are quite clearly bull****ing about how much they pay for some reason. Yes, postcode does make a difference, as do many other factors. I paid £1600 on my first car at 18, a 1.2 corsa, and im sure there are lots of other 'old people' on here that were in the same situation.....lots of money for not much of a car, mind you, this was back in the good ol' days when us oldies were frivolous young whippersnappers.

There is no way on this Earth that some of these policies on here are as cheap as they are. I just don't see the point in lying about it.

I dont see why this is true? i got insured on a 2l turbo focus RS with mods 2 days after passing my test for less than £2k, infact it was about £5 more than a standard 1l corsa.... alot of people didnt believe me and thoguth i was uninsured or payed alot more than i said, but i had no reason to lie, thats what i paid, and im guessing thats the same as some of the guys on here...

Mustoe91 10 April 2013 05:11 PM

Well I'm 21 with 3years no claims and I drive a standard 2005 wrx, I pay £1300, my insurance runs out on the 25th of may and I'm turning 22 just before and I've had a few quotes for £900 and that's with 3points

:facepalm:

i agree with the above though, there is either some bullsh1tting about prices or the insurance isnt properly done.

i live in a good postcode with full ncb and no points and several years experience of impreza's thats why mine is reasonable.

i know most specialist require you to be at least 25 with performance car experience.

Martyn19 10 April 2013 05:17 PM

Try Admiral. I have a multicar with them.

I had a blob wrx till recently and was £420, traded it for a 2010 sti saloon and was charged a extra £31.50.

7 years ncb, 24 and just me and the girlfriend on the policy.

Surprised it was so cheap as my S2000 was £650 just the other month
