I had a 2.6 when I was 19, insurance was only 10% more than for my 1.5 Almera...

£1100 or so. Because so few younguns have them, they don't crash them as often, so statistically they're less risk than a Corsa or Fiesta. Even with two or three times the power output...

Damn! I just wish they were cheaper to insure straight away, rather than needing 1 years NCB to bring the price down to a reasonable price  :-\

We are going back a few years don't forget. And if you're thinking of modifying it, that will send your premium sky high.

Get something slow, old, and decent, yet relatively unknown to the chavs, ie an old (very old) Corolla, 323, or similar, and keep your initial outlay down, then save hard for the Omega you want...

I'd love to have something old and uncommon for young people, but insurance prices are still stupidly high no matter what the car is  :(

In a perfect world I'd like a facelift 3.2 in a prefacelift shell, but I'm going to have to do that swap myself which kind of sucks haha

I'm 2500 For now and only got my licence in May last year, but I have 2 years no claims, from my provisional, but my insurance company wouldn't take them because I bought my omega when I still had my Fiat  >:(

I checked insurance for a 3.0 elite and ( with 2 years no claims ) and it came up 900  ::) some 1.1s come up more expensive than that  :o
