Hi Guys,

Am looking for some advice on insurance before purchasing a scooby.
Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of buying an import over a UK spec car from an insurance point of view?

Is there any great difference in insurance cost?
Who would be the best insurance company to use if I did buy an import or UK car?

Many thanks,
Dan

Uk car is a group 16 and an import is in group 19/20

i only pay £364 f/c pa for a uk impreza,

and im insured with Tesco online..
i spent 2 whole days getting prices and they seemed the best as regard to breakdown/ courtesy car etc and price of course.

there was a tread on here the other day regarding this
try a search.

Depends on what your buying really, a new age wrx is a group 20 car, so is the STI but the STI will cost you more, a UK turbo is a group 17 car (208/215bhp) and the JDM classic WRX varies from 240ps to 280ps but those are group 20 (excluding the wagons).
Also age/ncb/area/points etc can have an effect on the cost of your insurance.
A hint at what your after may give us a better idea as there are far too many impreza's to list

Hi guys,

Thanks for your comments.

I'm 31 with 3points and have 4 years ncb. Thinking of going for a 98 UK Turbo with some mods. Shouldn't be too bad really, but just wanted to know what an equivalent import is likely to be.

Thanks,
Dan
