Hi, I recently bought an FRST to restore etc, and am intending for it to be finished for when I am 18 and have held my license for one year. I will have no no claims... Do you think it would be possible to get insured on it for itro £2000? Has anybody on here insured at RST or similar at 18 recently? Thanks

 

I do not think you will get insured. If you do it will be very expensive
When I was 18 I struggled to get a decent quote for a xr2i

 

a mate of mine got insured on a frst when he was 18 , he was payin around the 2k mark and that was onli a year ago

 

lol your insurance quotes are going to be crazy.
best of luck

 

depends where you live mate.
I payed over 3k. And i phoned everywhere and tried everythink.

 

All the ones I tried were ridiculous...wasn't looking high and low though because got put off big time by what I was getting. Not worth it imo. I'd say after a year or two yes but not at 18.

 

Suppose it will have to stay in the garage longer than originally planned.

 

I've just been quoted £2700 for a mk1 Focus RS and I'm 19 with no no claims, just shop around a bit and maybe add someone like your dad or mum to your policy, makes a hell of a difference. I reckon you can do it. Good luck anyway.

 

When I was 18 (2 years ago) I was paying £1300 for Third Pary Fire and Theft, on my XR2i 16v. That was with 0 NCB and had my license a year.

I was getting quotes for an RS Turbo around £2000+.

 

can you please tell me where to go aswell for al them quotes im looking at a fiesta rs1800 and my cheapest is over 2k im 20 been driving a year and half and live in corringham

i feel really mugged off coz theres people my age insuring mk 1 focus rs's at 20 4 2 k
iv looked on compare the market and elephant all rubbish quotes

help me please

 

ive had my erst for 3 years, insured it when i was a spotty 17year old, payed 660TPFT using my dads no claims tho, im going to be paying around 900 fully comp next month but thats with 3 years no claims, its deff possible, its a fuking joke insurance, were not all shitty drivers with heavy right foot, over 60s are worst drivers than newbies id say,,

 

mate your getting shagged, i got quotes for 900 fc for a frs ? im 20 now but was 19 when looking at gettin one

 

spot on there 60+

it sucks coz 4 me 2 insure a xr2i fiesta is more than a rs1800 its so gay they aint got a clue them insurance people coz once your in the 30+ bracket most cars will cost the same just stupid but one day ya will get cheap insurance

 

I was insured on my xr2i, first car, at 18, TPFT garaged in a very secure rural area and paid £1700 so I'd say no. Escort RST seem to be cheaper to insure than Fiesta RST as well.

 

it could be quite pricey for ya, but make sure its your own policy, but add your parents on too as secondary drivers, it helps to bring the premium down! also, play them off other companys, ring around and tell them uve had quotes a couple of hundred pounds less than what they offer, and let them try and get it down!

 

get classic insurance i did when i was 19 and was 900quid with an agreed value

Tried adrian flux, told the person on the other end the car, she put me on hold and then said sorry for that car you must be over 19 and wouldn't give me a quote of any description. Call themselves specialist insurers...

 

am going to try adrian flux my gf brother had a rst when he was 18 insursed threw his mum it was only 800 a year dont no what type of cover it was tho

 

I had to go on my dads insurance as it was too expensive to insure a escort rs turbo when i was 18/19, so unless you do something like that i cant see you getting a decent quote, have a try on www.carinsurance1.co.uk for some reason they like sporty cars lol works out £500 cheaper than other companys for some stupid reason as they are the same insurance companys that come up on the broker.

 

I tryed with adrian flux, to go on my dads insurance and was told the named driver has to be 25+

but i had my rs turbo's insured with them when i was 21 on my own at £900 with no no claims but i had to be a member of the rsoc and a passion ford member to get it at this price.

With adrian flux ... one of my friends put an air filter on his rst and it put the insurance down! for some reason they saw it as he liked his car more, so its worth trying, just dont go too mad like hybrid turbos ect ... could end up doubling your quote

 

I was insured on my frst for the first time when i was 18 and i was paying £1700 TPFT on my own insurance 0 no claims and i only been driving a year so it is possible mate just bite the bullet ant get the bank card out.lol good luck

 

Was that recently? As that seems very good and I see you are just up the road from me, I live in Ossett/Horbury.

 

that was 3 years ago mate i eventually sold the rst as i was nly an apprentice at the time but i bought it back the end of last year so its undergoing a mojor restoration, i think i was insured by quinn direct, where abouts is it you live i use to live in ossett for 11 years until moving to middlestown are you going to the passion ford west yorkshire meet on the 10th june

 

I live on kingsway , I may attend the meeting, but am not sure at present.

 

go on www.carinsurance1.co.uk

or confused ao autotrader or compare the market

your like me mate no specialist wanted to touch me all of these will quote you aslong as you got a clean license the one at the kept coming up the cheapest for some reason .
the carinsurance1 seemed to come up £500 cheaper on my frs for some reason so give them all a try and see whos the cheapest.

what you will find mate is not a lot of places will give you an agreed valve insurance.

good luck as it is possible as ive had loads and had 2 cossies at 20 years old
