    Your current insurer must offer you a quotation. You mightn't like the figure if they don't like the car. An alternative insurer may be your best option

    In my short experience, no. They'll charge you the extra amount to amount to the original quote. Couldn't you get her to setup a policy on the Integra, and go as a named driver? Paying for her, and yourself..?

    They must be. I know people who are currently doing what I just said, without a problem.

    Couldn't say. No experience doing it myself. Couldn't be any worse then €2000

    Or find an insurer that will give you third party extension.
    I've used it to drive cars much more powerful than the car I was insured on and had it confirmed by liberty/Quinn to say that I was insured.
    In fact I'm still insured to drive any privately owned roadworthy car with the owners permission but it's since lost its novelty as I'm nearly quadrupled my bhp!:D

    When I transferred insurance from the polo to the alfa, I had to pay extra (not much) to cover the increased risk. The biggest determinant on the cost isn't age, it's your Ncb.

    The main insured driver has to have an insurable interest in the car for them to be insured is what I was told.

    Provided your girlfriend will register the car in your name first.

    They may well ask for silly money to transfer the policy over to the Integra though. So that may leave you in a situation where you bought a car you cannot afford to insure.

    Insurance companies are not dumb, they know young drivers are getting their parents to add themselves as the policy holder and then add their child as a named driver who in reality is the main driver. So more than likely they will put limitations on the policy of such a car, around named drivers such as minimum age, driver's license type and number of years driving experience. Failing that they will just increase the premium so much that it will become unaffordable to add a young driver to drive the car.

    No but they can absolutely ride you at renewal time. A friend tried this with a Celica a few years ago and got quoted something like ten grand at renewal.

    Do not buy this car unless you have an absolutely watertight guarantee of an insurance quote that you can afford. Because I can tell you from experience you are going to have a very hard time insuring an Integra for anything resembling a reasonable amount of money, especially at your age.

    What about driving what you can afford to insure until you get a bit older and the premium drops?

    Not really advisable. The dc2 seems to be the most stolen car in Ireland with the amount of threads across forums. The last thing I'd want to do is spend 3-4k only for some scrote to burn or steal it. The third party extension is just that, no fire or theft protection.

    For what its worth I'm 24/ 4 yrs ncb and full since 08 and I'm paying just under 800 fully comp with liberty on a 02 Honda Integra Type R (DC5 Import)

    Im with Liberty also, but they will no longer take on new business for a car like a DC2 until the driver is over 30.
