New car and fucking insurance!
 

So, bought my new car today. A beautiful Alfa Romeo GTV 2.0 TS from 1995. Get the license plate transferred to my name. All fine. So I call my insurance. They didnt let me insure the car since it was too powerful for someone my age, they only accept 24+ drivers for a car with that power. RIDICULOUS! So I call a different insurance company and because the previous one turned me down, this other company didnt want to give me this insurance directly. Now have to drive down to the car again on Friday (2 hour drive) and pick it up. Fucking shit.

Anyway, here's some pics of my bella.

congrats :thumbsup

hope you'll be able to get insurance

hm btw, you're in NL? how is it there? I guess there's a mandatory insurance and you got it but you want the extra one?

You didn't check insurance rates etc before you bought the car?

That's a rookie mistake.

Always do your insurance research before buying a car - consider it part of the payment.

24 ... + race ( sport ) car .... = high risk

No money to be done by the insurance company ....

They really don't want you .

I'll never buy more than 1.6 machines with no more than 100 HP! The insurance costs are just too much

Congratulations on your new car :)

Cool car though:thumbsup

Mr. Romance

That's actually one thing I like about the European auto insurance policies - it prevents unskilled drivers from driving powerful cars. I wish something like this would be instituted in the US, imagine how many 18 y.o. Mustang driving maniacs it would take off the streets! If some 18 y.o. would still want to drive that Mustang he'd be stuck paying 5x the car payment to do that and probably would be more aware of the kind of consequences his behavior might carry.

Didn't work with Ronaldo from Man United when he crashed his Ferrari... :1orglaugh

1995 ish garbage can, sorry.

That car looks like a Ford Probe with an Acura Integra grille and a Subaru XT rear end, and yet strangely I am aroused.

old piece of shit

Alfa is a great ride enjoy it!
btw: who the fuck rides that fiat 500 in the background?

She's a real bella :winkwink: How much?
(I hear that maintenance is expensive for an alfa)

no regulations like that in my country :)

Man you buy a car here and they usually throw in the first year or two of insurance for free.. Total coverage..

we call that a geo metro in the us

I don't see a powerful car in those pictures..

Sweet looking ride. Good luck.

Love NASCAR!

At least it will still be in nice shape by the time you turn 24.

Well, filled in the details on their website (car info and mine). Just told me how much it would cost me a month so seemed fine. Also all my previous driving and insurance info... AND I called them telling them I wanted to buy a GTV, that it would be my first car. Person said cool car, just call us when you buy the car and its on your name and we will insure it directly. Thats what pissed me off.

I know, 150 horsepower isn't crazy. Was even planning on supercharging it in future. Might give that a second thought now...

Regarding the price, 2900 euros which was a steal. New clutch, new distribution belt, new brakes and some other parts.

Well, insurance is arranged now! :)

I would of bought the travel trailer instead. That thing is hot.

Indeed! Going to be hell if I want to bang a girl in the back of my car... :(

Atleast it has leather seats so I don't have to worry about stains. :upsidedow

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

faster too

That's crazy. How do they determine if a car is too "powerful"? It's just a 2 liter 4 cylinder. That's Dodge Neon territory.

If they do it like motorcycles in Germany, experience/hp or something like that. You can't just start off on a Harley, you have to work your way up.

150hp :1orglaugh My first car had almost double that. Gotta love Insurance companies.

I was sweating what the insurance would be when we bought the Viper because my wife is only 24 ... but it turned out "fairly" reasonable with the cars we have.

Sell it. Everyone will be walking soon anyway.

What weird laws.I had a 68 Cuda with a 440 when I was 18.man that car was a blast

insurance companies are really asshats sometimes :/

sweet car, but sucks about insurance tho... they are a rip off

Congrats for your new car. Cool ride.

nice

i hope you got a spare 10k laying aroundthe parts and labour in the next year or so

nice car, congrats :)
