Do imports still cost more to insure?
Few years since I've had a Jap car.
Does a STi5 still cost twicw as much to insure as a P1?
Does an import Evo7/8/9 cost twice as much as a UK one?

Standard STI 5 worth £18,000 cheapest I could get it for was £4,000
Standard P1 worth £18,000 cheapest was £2,000
I was 25 then, 4 years no claims. Just had my renewal through about 3 weeks ago and its now gone down to £1400 (26 with 5 years NCD)
Imported Evos were coming in at about the same sort of price so I obviously opted for the P1!
Hope that helps!

Thanks guys.
£542 for a STi is bloody great!
So you might aswell pay the few extra quid and buy official since you'll end up paying any saving to the insurance man anyway!

I'm not sure about the U.K., but I know that my Scooby is getting insured for the same price as my 1993 Chevy Corsica was. They're both the same years.... I dunno, just trying to be helpful.
