once you get a into buying a modified vehicle your insurance will go thru the roof
It's an unknown qty to your insurer,
your more likely to drive it aggressively and therefore more likely to damage it.
it is more likely to be stolen.
This is what your insurer will think (not me) and will put the price through the roof. especially at your age.
also If you don't know what to look for you could end up with a right dog. You don't build an hybrid for tootling round town, you thrash the pants off em doing extreme offroading.

That's true, but only to a degree, usually the fact that you're a youngster and that you have a large engine works against you before the fact it's not going to get nicked works in your favour ...
I'm sorry to say that at that age the assumption is that you'll have inserted it into someone, or wrapped it around a lamp post long before you get chance to have it nicked ...
I know that sounds very insulting and condescending, but I was in that boat a few years ago :(

I know exactly what you mean, thats why i wanted a hybrid cause then i could of got "classic insurance" which would of hopefully of worked out cheaper cause im not going to be doing that many miles anwyay

It doesn't work like that any modified vehicle is going to put your insurance through the roof. The only way to keep your insurance manageable is to buy a bog standard series landy and keep it for a couple of years. you could "make a hybrid up" and phone a few insurance brokers for a quote. Make sure your sitting down though.
