Back off a bit peeps plz....
Did you try the insurance supermarket for insurance ??
If so what was the best quote ?
Personally i would choose a smaller car that will be just as fast due to it being lighter.
example :
2.5 Vectra with 200 BHP and weighing 2 tons (2000 kg) will give you 100bhp per ton and do 0 - 60 in 12 secs.
1600 fiesta with 100 bhp and weighing 1 ton (1000kg) will also give you 100 bhp per ton and will also do 0-60 in 12 secs.
The fiesta will be cheaper insurance, cheaper fuel and just as fast.
Im not saying to get a fiesta but its worth considering going for a smaller engined & Lighter car as it will be just as fast as the heavier/more powerfull car.
Mister adam got a Toyota Scarlet Turbo quite cheap and cheap insurance, something worth thinking about ??
Insurance is DEAD Money, just dont like to see you throwing your money away mate, But after saying all of that if you have your heart set on the vectra then go for it as its your money....

2.5k for 12 months,and if the car is stolen or burnt u get **** all. If u crash into someone then theyre car gets fixed and urs is left in a heap.Ever taken that into consideration, its like me buying a Focus ST. The insurance wud put me off,and i'd never insure a car TPFT let alone TP End of the day its up 2 u,but y not save this 2.5k by buying a smaller car thatll only cost 1k and the insurance 1k also, if u dont mind me asking how much was the car,and how much insurance was ur last car?
