Does This Sound Right - 21yrs old + Nova Turbo

[10jonesy7]

Just tried a few insurance companies for 21year old male, 2 NCB driving a nova turbo and was getting quotes of around 3grand?

Does that sound about right because 21 is still pretty young. Just seemed abit steep to me.

Anyone know if thats about average?

That's alot...

My mate doesn't have any claims bonus and has just turned 18 and on a 1.9 GT 205 it's about 3 grand.

hmm yeah thought it was quite steep, but wasnt sure because ive never looked into insurance on one before.

I don't know anything about turbo's is this the 2ltr turbo?

[10jonesy7]

yeah was looking at 2L 16v turbos

Sounds expensive.
Depends on whether its garaged, and the area its kept in etc.

well ive checked it and i live in a decent area according to that chart thing, i did say its kepted on a off road driveway but theat cant make that much difference surely.

At my dads the car is kept in a garage yet my insurance quotes for my mums area which is 5 mins away without garage is 500 quid cheaper

hmm strange. ill just have to keep searching around, but surely its gone wrong somewhere being 3grand near enough?

Yes, but you're comparing a engine transplanted car with one that has - I assume - a standard engine.

Engine conversions are expensive, but we need more details to figure out how good that quote is. Whats your postcode risk rating? Who is the policy with? What type of policy is it? Clean license? Other drivers? What car did the engine come from?

Could be very cheap, or very expensive, depending on the above options.
