Good afternoon all
First of all, I'm new here and also a newly Subaru fanatic.
Right so I'm looking to switch from my Mazda 6 to a WRX. I'm 21, 2 years full licence, 3 years NCB & no penalty points. I know it's hard to get insurance at this age for a car like that but I'm willing to pay up to 2.5k for it (although obviously preferably cheaper).
So I rang up my current insurers and got a quote for €180 a month on an 01 WRX and was fine with that. I'm only after getting enough money to buy a blob eye around the 03 mark so I rang up again looking for a quote on once again but this time they told me that I'd be paying about 200% more than what I am now, I said I'm fine with that and then he changed his story saying that I can't get insured on it...he was clearly lying. I told him about the 01 model I got a quote for and he said will insure me on that but not the 03 as they are different...which they aren't, they're both the 218bhp 2.0l turbo WRX (not STI)! I could just tell he was lying...so why would he lie about this? What would he gain from not insuring me?
I suppose my next question is obvious; where will I go for insurance? Most places don't even ask my age, once I say Impreza they might as well just hang up on me.
I know I'm young and some of you will tell me to wait till I'm older, but I honestly love these cars and am willing to pay the majority of my wage to keeping one!
Any advise is greatly appreciated!
