Car insurance quote before buying ?

Was thinking about buying a car (first car) just to run around in for a while before I actually buy a better one when im older but want to ask a question. When buying a car, should I get an insurance quote first, then buy ? Or should I just buy a car I like then think about sorting out insurance for it ?

1. If you're buying a beater for cash, and don't need comp and collision, one rate quote should cover almost anything you'd want, unless it's a sports/hot car. Even plain liability rates will vary between companies, so call several. If you'll be financing the car, you'll need comp/collision on it to satisfy the lender, and those rates will vary a lot. Can't help you much there.
2. it's your first car so you r bound to buy small car with very small engine, so decide which car u want to buy then get a quote,because u r young it will cost u lot.
3. Once you have an idea what kind of car you want, you can get "indications" from calling a local agent. If you're planning on borrowing money to buy this car, there's going to possibly be a WIDE variety of insurance costs. To buy a car and keep your insurance costs low, absolutely consult a local agent, BEFORE the purchase.
4. You will have to shop around as you do. Get a quote from insurers you get from yellow pages or from the web.
5. You can quote an insurance first before buying but it will depend on your car, so it will probably be just an estimate. If you want, you can get free auto insurance quotes at Auto Insurance Snap.
6. Hi! Jordy. You have to first go through the quote, schemes/policies of the insurance company for which you are applying. Even if you buy your favorite car you can easily get information about the insurance and their schemes/policies online too. This will make more easy and you will have a fare idea what coverage does the insurance company offer and what all documents you need to submit for it . If you are buying the car such as the collector car or classic car or the BMW, Ford, Land Rover then there are site where you can find the benefits and schemes or coverage offered by the insurance company. carinsuranceclassic.co.uk
