My insurance is up this month and i'm having a bit of an issue with the year of my car.

It's a JDM imported newage, year 2000 on the log book as it was manufactured in December 2000.

The problem i have is every insurance company thinks this is a classic STI and not a newage. They only recognize bugeyes as being 2001-2002.

This past year I've realized that i've been insured as a 1994-2000.

if i insure it as a classic it's £1000, as a newage it's £700! Has any one else had this problem and what did you do?

 

The new model year starts around September/October for Subaru's, so your car is an MY01 and not an MY00 even though its built in 2000.

 

Hi,
Please feel free to give us a try for insurance if you like. If you wanted to PM me some contact details I'd be happy to arrange for one of my quotes team to give you a call back.
Regards,
Dan.

 

Yeah it's annoying because when i imported it my export certifacte states that it was manufactured in something like Dec 2000, so when the car was registered over here they had to do it as a 2000!!

Are you saying that when i insure it i just do it as a 2001? Being an import it can never find the car on the reg, so i have to search for the car and then the reg later.

Cheers Dan, I got a quote from flux yesterday based on a 2001 which i'm happy with. I've sent you a PM.

 

Have you tried Sky? i tried all the usual companys flux, Moley on here etc and Sky were considerably cheaper and its a all singing and dancing policy with Mods included etc
