insurance help!

[Lanky_mos]

ive just been speaking to somebody about porsche 944s and apparently he can get insured for a 2.5 litre one for less than an 1.8 16v astra coupe (new shape) and seeing as i can get insured reasonably on an astra coupe, do u reckon id be able to get a reasonable quote on a porsche 944 2.5..>!>!! also what insurance group they in, and how quick are they????

cheers

I belive insurance on a poweful old car isnt to bad. As they cost less to repair and if you write them of they dont cost as much to buy so settlement are less.

Your best option is to ring a few specialists and maybe limit your milage and get a classic car limited milage cover which may work out cheaper.

As for speed well I heard in a race between a 2litre tubo corsa and a 944 the porche lost but care even if u loose a race agaist a nova 2litre turbo, etc ur still driving a porsche.

as for performance according to http://www.parkers.co.uk www.parkers.co.uk there never was a 2.5 litre there was a 2.7 turbo and 3.0 s2

0-60 hp mph

2.7 5.6 250 161

3.0 6.7 211 149

As for detaisl about ther car try http://www.honestjohn.co.uk www.honestjohn.co.uk who should give u an idea of possible problems.

I know of someone who traded a new Ibiza for a 944 convertable and he does 50k a year and so they must be reliable however it will drink fuel at 25mpg.
