Car insurance - first time driver in his 40s

Hello,
I moved to the USA when I was in my 30s without a driver's license. I lived in the USA for 10 years where I obtained a license. I moved back 6 years ago and passed my test last week.
I am looking for tips in order to get my insurance quotes down as at the moment they are incredibly high.
Would members suggest that I obtain a low powered elderly car for my first ride, go to an independent broker to see if my past driving experience can lower a quote, leasing or something else?

Many thanks for your time.

    Drive carefully and dont make claims or have claims against you and the premiums will go down.

    Elderly car maybe or maybe not... I did quotes for someone and anything over 5 - 8years old increased the premium depending on te company.
