Car Insurance for a brand new driver

Hello, my name is Dylan and I'm currently 16 years old. I plan to learn to drive as soon as I'm 17 and to buy a car at 18. The problem is, I've got my heart set on a Porsche Baxter 2.7 (2001) which is hard to find any insurance deals for at my age. I realise that getting a cheaper, smaller car would be the sensible option, but does anyone have any advice on insuring the car I want? Thanks!

    WHAT!!! Sulk until mummy and daddy buy you one.

    Do you want the Childline number?

    Must be torture that they wont buy you one.

    Although my parents bought me a car when i was 17 they wouldnt buy me a house for Xmas so i left home thinking that will teach them to be mean.

    As i slept in various friends spare rooms, their butlers wouldnt do my laundry etc. After 4 days i thought my parents had been taught a lesson and went back home. Bit of a shock to find the house sold and the neighbours said they had bought a boat and gone cruising for a few years.

    They must really miss me.

    If you can afford a Porsche then surely you can afford the insurance that goes with it no?


    Maybe get an insurance broker that would insure you in 2 years time. Preferably with your own money as you cannot depend on the bank of mum and dad forever.

    Easy. What you need to do is deposit £500,000 with the courts and you don't need to buy insurance.

    There's no problem, Dylan when you buy insurance they go by your real age not your mental age.

    What's a "Porsche Baxter"??
    All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.
