hey people  :wave

Thought i would introduce myself as im new to this forum and looking to swap my 2l astra turbo for a rex within the next few weeks  
after hours of endless phone calls the cheapist insurance i have found is £995 tpft or 2k fully comp for a 21yo female with a cd10 and 2ync is this as good as its going to get....any recomendations? :xconfused  (would prefer fully comp)  
Im looking to learn a bit more about these stunning motors so this seems an ideal site and if anybody knows of any in the south up for sale then please let me no im looking for a 3rd gen with a recent rebuild in good condition but my budget is about £7000 max :p

thanks  :wave

Hi miss RX7, and welcome to a brilliant club, i may know of one quite close to your area, with a rebuilt engine,if it\'s still for sale i will see if it\'s sold or not and let you know,

Not meaning to be a downer, but to be honest I\'m surprised you got the quotes you did. Are they with limited mileage? I think quite a few <25 year olds are struggling to get quotes at all

[MissRX7]

thanks for all your welcomes and yes its limited to 7000 with no mods

Have you considered going for a 2nd gen (FC) rx7 first, the insurance is cheaper and the learning curve is a bit friendlier with the winter fast approaching.  
 Have you driven an Rx7 yet? (Might be preaching to the chior here)

 And welcome to MRC :wave

Hello and Welcome look forward to seeing your FD, good hunting. :wave

Welcome to MRC!

I\'m 21, got insured on my FD no problem, Elephant.co.uk and Bell.co.uk were the best for me, if you go for the 10month thing, fully comp should be about £1000, well that what I\'m paying. Limited miles, I have a few mods though, the street port isn\'t listed  :yes

Good luck finding a good one, have you thought about buying one from the docks and then getting a rebuild? £4000 is the average price + rebuild and then you are sorted.

Kieron  :cheers

I am lots older and have company insurance so useless to comment but hello and welcome!  :wave

Hello and welcome to the club.  :wave
Sounds like you\'ve got some good quotes there. Like some of the other guys have said, dont be afraid to ask any questions or for any advise, no such thing as a silly question on here.
Take your time trying to find the right car for you as there\'s are plenty of bad ones around now, looking for one with a rebuild is a good idea. Get used to driving it about, as they can be a big handfull in the wet but also loads of fun when things are good  
Make sure you post up some good pictures once you\'ve found your dream machine
Good luck and happy hunting

Adam

P.S. If you fancy meeting some of the guys off here and asking as many questions as you like, there\'s an RR day at ReWorks in Porstmouth on the 1st.

Hello MissRX7,

I bought my 3rd gen RX when i was 22 and i managed to get it insured for £1,500 fully comp but i think i had more NCB than you. I got mine insured with Adrian Flux, but i have also used in the past Tesco\'s, Belldirect (but they don\'t insure any kind of mods) and now with A-Plan which i think are great (and cheapest to date)!!

If you up your excess it should lower your premium. My current excess is at £500. Hope you manage to get a good quote.

Happy car hunting!!
