Ep3 civic type r insurance?

[J55NI]

Anyone any recomendations on who to try for insurance i know its not gonna be cheap but the best quote so far is 4k.. Tried w todd and son (5k) and gocomapare (4k) just wondering has anyone any recomentdations for who to try and get a better quote with.. 19, 2 years no claims and a clean liscence..

An Ep3 isn't going to be worth the insurance premium imo. Doubt Quinn will even touch you on it at that age.

havent tried quinn myself for it yet.. They quoted to change on a 182 so not sure maybe they would cover the type r?.. Would be something i wouldnt be planning on keeping maybe the full year so if i got a quote around 2-2500k i would take it

 

[Graham2]

Thats a mad amount of money for insurance lad! Are you with Quinn at the moment?

yea with quinn at moment been with them for 2 years now.. might push my luck and see if they will cover it.. If not thats getting a type r plan out the window.. Its a mad amount but for some reason its a car i have always wanted to own

They might refuse to quote you on it so tell them you've already bought the car but haven't the reg number to hand. That's what I had to do to get mine insured with them at 24 for £800+

have used that a few times for various cars they "didnt cover" .. If not anyone got any other ideas of what to go for next that can be insured reasonable.. Budget of 6k say? Petrol 3dr ideally?

Is an Integra R any easier to insure? Far, far superior car in every way; build quality, reliability, handling, interior... I wouldn't have an EP3 near me again.

It was comming back on gocompare about £500 cheaper to insure if i could get a decent quote on one i would buy one after a run in my mates the other week

I was contemplating one last year when i got to 2 year NCB, direct line quoted me £900. Im 26 though, good luck at 19!!

seems a loosing batle gettin a good quote.. few people simialr stats as me have said they have been insured for the 2500k mark but anywere i try it seems to be more like 4-5 k for me

 

[steveo21]

close to impossible to insure a ep3 under your name at 19. Im 23 and couldnt get quote under £1600. Once your 21+ greenlight insure uk dc'2 and ek9's at really good prices

 

[bluntcap]

unfortunatly the EP3 Type R has a very high accident/claim rate. So this causes it to be quite a hard car to insure and most companies wont touch you. But a 1996 UKDM DC2 you might get a good quote no?

 

[chunkerz]

directline were only company i found last year that had reasonable quote i paid around 1k for the year being 22,1 ncb

couldnt get a dc2 thou they wouldnt touch me with that

 

[Smog]

Keeping an eye on this thread, I have 3 points A crash and 1years ncb under my belt and best quote I have had yet is 4k

 

[Dave]

19... no chance. try admiral when your 21 though

 

[Boydie]

£1000+ in my opinion is excessive for insurance It would have to be something extremely desirable for me to even consider forking out over £1k to insure a car!

If I wanted a certain car now and it was going to cost more than that, I wouldnt buy it and put it off for another year!

 

[Rob]

I had my Type R when I was 23 and the best I could get was £1k from Directline. All others wanted £2k+! Hardest car I've ever tried to insure, majority of companies just wouldn't touch it for some reason.

Integra was even worse iirc..

Would it not be easier to insure an ek9 as they're only a 1.6 and I am sure they are a lot nicer a car to drive?

[Miss 206]

direct line was the best quote i got on type r £650 fully comp, i was 24, thou i am a girl!! Its helps, but no chance when your 19, my bro tried to get insured on one, £2000+.

I would'nt of thought so as they are an import so restricted to certain insurance companies. They seem to be quite strict on imports

 

[Graham2]

Probably a lot easier to steal too.

 

[Jo-Jo]

£420 to insure mine fully comp and im 25 but have 6 yrs no claims. u'd be better off holding off for at least 2 yrs til ur 21 and a few more years under ur belt. i know u prob want it so bad now. but your mad IMHO if you are considering spending that much on insurance.
but each to their own and all that. ur decision/money

ek9 harder to insure as they are a grey import (no uk version ) ek9s are quoted as group 20 .

 

[J55NI]

got quoted online on confused.com for £2495 with 3 years no claims which ill have in feb hopefully so may start saving
