for the life of me i cant find anyone who'll insure me on an evo 5, i dont get it, im a female full licence no points or claims, anyone know anywhere i can try or even specialises in high performance car insurance

i got the same guff, so i said i had already bought the car and it was sitting on my driveway

so my insurer had to quote.. a bit risky but they quoted quite well

Try Britton insurance, EVOs be harder to insure than Ferraris though to be honest.. Good luck!

Not many dodges are in Ireland though so not a lot of claims against them. A lot of evos are robbed or written off though so the insurer sees it as a bigger risk.

a lot of companies won't give online quotes, so if you haven't been phoning, then I would recommend doing so

true but which will kill you at the first corner you come too lol

Yeah, as SV says, Evo's are probably going to be at the very top of the risk factor unfortunately.

I'd ring up 123.ie and see what they say.

I'm insured with Travellers (through 123.ie) on a high performance car and 1 year younger than you and I'm a fella, so, you'd think they'd be able to do you a decent deal.

As already said try Britton Insurace, they seem to be somewhat keener to insure the higer performance cars, but you'll probably not get a quote for an Evo online, so ring them instead.
