You must be doing something wrong then. How could a group 1/2 car possibly cost over 2k?
Either that or live in a very, very dodgy area.

There's your answer. It's probably cheaper to insure a tank in Afghanistan.You should phone up insurance companies rather than getting an online quote. MUCH cheaper I found. For my W reg Punto as a first car online quotes were around £1500 then Mum phoned up and we got it for £928. You can haggle aswell because they get paid based on sales I think or at least get some kind of bonus when they sell a policy so they did move on price. Also try putting your Excess up, mine is at around £800 I think so I'm screwed if I am in an accident but the price was cheaper.

Have you done any quotes seperately (i.e not on moneysupermarket or confused.com) ? On my first year of looking for insurance i tryed both website and i found that i could get it cheaper by looking at all the different insurance companies alone

Good grief, just put your details into moneysupermarket to start with and just look at some of these quotes:
Unbelievable or what!

Bell.co.uk are quoting well for me at the moment. Just over £600 for my 2.0 Mondeo Estate. I just turned 20.
When I was 18 I paid £2200 for my Mondeo with Asda who use Norwich Union. My postcode isn't that great as some council estate also use a few miles away.

I am paying £1045 TPFT for my S Reg Saxo VTR @ 19 with 0 NCB & both my parents on the policy (Admiral) and they both have the max NCB. Removing both of them as named drivers resulted in the policy climbing up to £1470! I think after my 1st NCB it will drop to ~£600.
Unless your a chick the cost of insurance especially for a young driver is extremely high and you have to pretty much bite the bullet. A 1.0l AX was £790 for me to insure so it didn't really matter how slow the car was as insurers still quoted me nasty premiums.
