how much would it be to get insured on a mitsubishi lancer 1.8 engine, 1996. im 17 years old and the car i am goin to buy is done up a bit.

Ring the insurance companies, or try the online ones, but at 17 I don't think you're going to have much chance, even a 1ltr car will cost a couple of grand.
Have you a full license?

half_life_man

just have my provisional. would you even have an idea how much were talkin like?

Mezcita

At least two grand, I'd say. Since the engine is above a 1.6 and you have a provisional it means that they will screw you.

But some day you will be in a position to make them beg for your business assuming you don't make any claims.

Most companies will steer clear. No point asking here for guesses just ring the companies.

2 grand? You're joking.

And the rest.

tbh, its going to be funny money

I'm 18, almost on second provisional, on my mother's 10yr no claim bonus on a 1.4l astra, and its gonna cost something like 2200.

on my own policy, for the laugh i got a quote last year...

it was eight hundred shy of 10grand....

That has to be wrong.

I'm 19, first provisional, 1.4 Pug 306, No NCB or driving experience and paying less then 2K.

not a chance in hell you're gonna get insured unless mummy and daddy want to remortgage the house.

I'm presuming it's a GSR turbo. They won't touch you.

why do you want a 1.8 lancer? Is it a gsr? If it is you would want an awful lot of money between insurance, tax and petrol, not to mention hospital/repail bills:D

Britton insurance i think are good if you want to get something fast when youre young. But seriously a GSR is not a good car to learn to drive in.

Esay answer is you wont. I am 20 have my full licence and find it hard gettting qoutes on any car over 1.4 and let alone it being a lancer.

It's no wonder we have all the deaths on the road. I say close to 4k would insure you, thats if they would insure you at all.
My first car is costing me 1k and its a 1.2l clio.

Back in the days of when I started to drive, the cost of insuring me when I was 17 on a provo licence on my parent's Ford Sierra 1.7L Turbo Diesel was in the region of €3,500. Needless to say I only then opted for the one-month-at-a-time insurance policies that Hibernian were doing (maybe they still do them). You can get insursed of €96 per month, but the catch is that you can only get insured for 3 months a year. Still though, it is better than nothing.

You wont get insured on that.


Best bet a 1.3 GLX Lancer

rowanh

Well if you want to get a gsr i definatley would not reccomend the 1.3 glx. Its a good car, very reliable etc but its very slow and boring to drive, also if you drive it hard it uses loads of petrol and still is slow.

To the op , It will be expensive if you can get anyone to take you, 3 k plus .
