Default Insurance

Hi all, long time reader, never posted, that i can remember anyway! I was just wondering if anyone can recomend any insurac companies for me to ask. I have money available to buy an S, but they want five grand a year to insure it! Now i am only 22, and i have 3 points on my liscenec (for a bald tire) but i just dont understand why it is so much!

Any ideas, apart form wait, which at the moment is what i am doing!

Thanks

Can give adrian flux a try, they give s2kuk members a discount too.

I think you'll find it hard at your age, when I was 22, it cost me

If you're paying 14k (OOPS 1.4k!! ) for a 1.6 Pug I'm not surprised it's a high price for the S, it's a Group 20 (i think) car !!!

I'm 30 with 6 points (one speeding offence) and it cost me nearly 2k the first year I insured it, 1.6k the second year. It dropped because I turned 30, even though I had a prang and lost my only years NCB. Age seems to have a lot to do with it !!

There are a few youngsters on here who have managed it, but it will cost you, it's a high risk car. If you're paying

I really don't know how these youngsters are managing to afford the insurance on these cars. i was 25 before i could afford the insurance on something decent.
