I know this has got to be a question that gets asked *all* the time, and you're probably bored to death but :-)

 

What are you guy's paying for insurance (if I may be so bold as to ask), and how old/yrs NCB etc are you?

 

I know I'm gonna be selling my kidneys to insure the car (Already had one quote of around £1700 from a high street insurer..) but just wondering..

 

I'm betting most of you are considerably older than me though Course I could be wrong!

 

A curious Az.

Az,

 

I have sold my kidneys, liver and spleen to pay for my insurance. Of course I have a disadvantage: I am 28 years old, hold a foreign license and have only just arrived in the UK. I am paying £1400, fully comp, legal protection, £250 excess. I did it through a broker and I believe my policy is with Privilege. I am 100% sure that if you are a UK license holder, with few or no points, several years of NCB that this will undoubtedly be halved. If you like I can get you intouch with my broker. E-mail or call me (07044016586).

 

Cheers!

Danny - that would be quite a reasonable quote for me I think

 

For reference.. I just got a quote from Elephant (full quote), of £1541.40 fully comp on a standard H reg '90 car.. What puts my premium up is my age (22) and 2yrs NCB (damned company cars..).. It drops a little though because it's not my only car..

 

I do know mind you, that I got a quote of nearly £900 on my current car from Elephant, but my brokers quote was under £600 for the same cover..

 

Still a big chunk of wedge..

 

But you're only young once, as they say..

I really feel for you on this one aaronjb. I phoned nearly 50 insurance company's last year when I purchased my Z and the most ludicrous quote I got was 3.5k for fully Comp Cover ! ! ! The best quote (which I accepted) was for 1.4 big ones...which only covers me for Third Party Fire and Theft. I Only got that on condition that I installed a Thatchum Cat-1 alarm + imobiliser.

The stats: I'm 22 years of age, with only 1 year No-claims and drive an imported '90 (H) NA ZX.

 

Prices this year are rising by an average of 25%.

Good luck ! We're going to need it.

 

Jayen - my God, someone my age! :-)

 

I'm used to getting scr*wed over on insurance.. It's taken this long to get my insurance under a grand - although that's only because I went TPF&T on the Reno 19..

I was quoted £1100 FC - 94 L, PiperX filter, ECU, exhaust, TarOx brakes, and 17" alloys.. Mad huh!?

 

Still.. I'm still paying over a grand really.. £600 on the 19, and £650 on the Reno 5 GT Turbo that I also own...

 

Lets hope the 2 cars, 2yrs NCB works in my favour on this one!

Try Tesco, cheapest for me, and one of only about 3 that would insure under 25's.

 

Cost me £1100. 24 yr old, 4 yrs NCB on modded 16v 205, 1992 Jap SWB TT

 

Next best was Adrian Flux at £1500

That's a damned good price on insurance m8!

91' Jap Import TT

Just got my renewal yesterday from A-Plan (0845 0711234)

Same as last year at £799.00, only pain is they want £98.00 extra to pay over 12 months.

£400.00 excess and must have a CAT1 alarm.

 

I'm 30, cover is Fully Comp, Business Use, Parked on Drive with 5 years no claims and the following list of which I'm very proud!

 

SP30 5 Points in March '97

SP30 28 Day Ban in November '97

SP30 5 Points in June '98

SP60 3 Points in November '00

 

Seems pretty good.

Most quotes were £2500.00 ish last year.

LOL

 

I'm still going to have a ring round though.

 

Agh.. Agh.. Yearning for Zed... ;-)

 

Ahh well.. Gotta fix the GT Turbo (driveshaft, turbo), sell the 19 16v (Anyone know anyone who wants one?.. Worth a try!), raise a few k's more, then find a decent Zed to buy!

 

It's nice to see that it *is* possible to get semi reasonable insurance quotes on these cars though..

 

Also nice to see that you're all friendly, and nobody has bitten my head off yet :-)

(Except when I was a smart arse about tire pressures.. Lol :-) )

John

Well it's good to know that I'll be paying anywhere from £1000 to £1400 :-)

 

Hmm... wonder how much a few mods would put the premium up by.. Heh - probably make the insurance companies run a mile!

 

And as for all you 30+ year olds..... Grrr.. Lol :-) One day I'll be that old and have cheap insurance ;-)

£443 for me, 27 and 4 years no claims.

 

Full comp with £300 excess.

 

Firebond, you gotta love em....Only if you have a UK 300 though (which I do) They no longer do imports

 

 

Matty.

I think the problem is to do with where you live as well. I'm pretty sure that anyone in London will get crusified. I'm 30 with full no claims and sill had to pay something like £1400.00 with Privilage (who are shit!)

 

Vijay

I think you're right there .. I live in Slough - with a post code of SL1..

Don't get much worse than that!
