euphoria

Hi all,

after owning various performance cars in the past and insuring them without any real problems, i am shocked to find that the subaru STI (UK MODEL 100% STANDARD) is OVER £2500 to insure!?

I currently own an EP3 civic type R and that costs me just under £1k a year insurance.

I live in the CM18 region, only doing 5000 miles a year, with 3yr NCB and 4 years driving experience.

No accidents, 3 points for using mobile phone a year ago.

Anyone in the same situation? or same age group with cheaper quotes than 2k?! if so please give me some advise! What am i doing wrong

To be fair you'll do well to insure an STi at 22 regardless of experience or NCB. You could try Moley but he couldn't help me until I was 24 as I only passed my test at 21. Defo worth the chat but remember its a group 20 car, and highly nickable by the pikey chavs

****, you either have an awful postcode or didn't look hard enough

Moley said for me (25 3 years NCB and 3 points) it would be well under a grand now

i do live in a post code that is a bit special , i had an accident a year ago when my brakes failed in my clio williams and they all gave me a bull **** excuse that i have never owned a car as powerfull as this before which is true but i work for a mitsubishi garage where i drive evos every day i have driven ferrari,lambos cossies and porches but never crashed them but hey its a small price to pay

Still seems high unless your insurance paid a lot out on the accident. I have 2 non fault claims on my insurance which happened within 4 days in April '07

Moley still insures me on my 205 GTi (group 14) for £400 fully comp with an agreed value Try him, even just for a comparitive quote.

I was paying 350 quid fc prot on a 306 GTI, the scoob is more (700 quid ) but im old
At 22 you will find it very hard to get decent quotes as your in the expensive bracket for crashing, a uk wrx with ppp may be cheaper to insure and they are the same/similar power as an STI type UK (2ltr).

I thought Moley didn't do under 23s or something like that...? Hmm I'll be 22 by the time my renewal comes for the STi, will have 5 years NCB, 5 years scooby driving experience, and 2 years with the STi.. hope he can quote me

i was paying £450 fc for my astra sport which was a group 14 so im in the right area its just the fact i have no scooby power experience so hopefully next year will be cheaper
