Insurance at 19

[-Clarkey]

Ive been looking at getting an rx7 when i turn 19 but not sure on the insurance. Ive heard of some 19 year olds getting insured for around £2200 for 3G rx7 but cheapest i can get is £2800,  before people say get some more experience in fast cars etc im currently driving a subaru impreza. Has anyone insured one at 19 and if so wheres the best place too.

Mate, wherever you go at 19 you are gonna struggle to insure an FD for less than £2-3k.  All FDs were group 20 cars, but not all imprezas were so expwerience in one doesnt always qualify you for the other. I got my insurance at 23 with 5yrs NCB and it was still over a grand.

I\'d try adrian flux / a plan / sky and a few others from the "Useful Contacts" thread, but i seriously doubt you will find an answer to your liking.

Also, (no idea what your situation is so apologies in advance) these things are expensive to run. And i DO mean expensive, i use mine as a daily driver and i go through £50 a week in fuel and thats only driving 10-15miles each day!!!

My advice would be to go for something similar but cheaper to get used to the RWD layout like a MR2 or even a FC Rx7 if you really want rotary.

However, if you dont mind paying the $$$ for the insurance then go for it!! You will not regret it!!

Fair play to you if you are happy to pay that sort of money to insure a car - wish I was earning that kind of money aged 19! :Giggle

An FC TII will be considerably cheaper to insure than the FD, and with a couple of cheap mods you will see over 260bhp...

im insured at 20 year old with admiral online with 2 named drivers on MY policy at £2020 fully comp.

[Brett]

Who are the named drivers?

[nuki]

mum and retired grandma. saving me a total of £1300

Side note i found with my MR2\'s and my RX7 that the specialist insurance guys couldnt match the generic confused.com quotes (even with mods)
 
I\'m 23 and insure my VW Bora tdi and my RX7 on a multicar policy and pay approx £1k

ye specialists who specialise with high performance cars and modifications wont even entertain me.

I currently own a Honda EK9 Civic Type R, but am going to sell it in due course, paying £1200 for it, rang up my insurance company to see how much it will cost to transfer the insurance to a RX-7 (as i now want a RX-7), only £250 more, which is\'nt bad

I got my first policy at 21 with Noel Dazey. they were really good.
first year 1600 with 1ncb
then 1250 with 2ncb
now im getting quotes from admiral etc for 850. at 24 with 3ncb.
So once you get them first few years rx7 ownership out the way its all good.

Im currently looking for insurance aswel  . Just got myself a \'99 FC 2.3non turbo but waiting two weeks til turn 20 should drop price down a bit (i hope anyway)

[RX7-ALEX]

im paying £1700  year im 24 4 years driving experience and no no claims bonus  on a twin turbo fd with my dad as a named driver

[chrisJDM]

you will find with the performance specialist insurers they usually say 21+ or 25+

when i first insured my first FD at 21 i used elephant.co.uk

Crazy prices at the moment.
My son is 18 and cant get a lower quote than £2000 on a Vaxhall Corsa 1.2 worth £500.

Steve... its due to it being classed as a typical boy racer car... try something like a skoda felecia
