Lol, you spent something like £7000 on the engine right? And you're worried about £100 to insure it for a year?

^^^ Very true it just doesnt make sense!! By selling up you are going to lose thousands that you have put into the car never mind being stuborn about £100

Im with greenlight and my insurance went up about £50 but I'm happy to be insuring an EK9 with a good few mods for under £700 fully comp at 25. I remember when I was 18 and I couldn't insure a 1.4 ek if I put a set of springs and a backbox on :mad:
 
31 years old, full no claims, no accidents no points.

£400 fully comp with sky for me, where do you live mate?
 
Im paying 1600euro!! Now thats a slap in the face! But then again i am only 20 with 2 years ncb!!!
 
I wish I could get some of the quotes you guys are getting!!:shocked:

I'm 26 nearly 27
9 years no claims
Never had a accident
No points
Advanced driver

£1230 was the best I could get from anyone! :angry:
(I do have my 23 year old mrs on there to but I she is same as me no points/claims)

Insurance is a joke FULL STOP!!!!!!!!
 
im 28 now with 7 years no claim and 1 accident within 5 years (didn't claim on ins) and im paying 780+ a year

got a letter through the post on monday saying that my ins will be going up by at least £80+ next year because of the financial situation, plus they are charging £75 to cancel a policy and £50 to ammend it! one word UNTS!!!!

if you want a cheap car to ins get a classic car and classic car ins! you cant go wrong, got a modded old skool mini and it only costing me £127 a year limited to 5000 miles though
 
A prime example of insurance increaces-

I use to insure my old 1.9DTI vectra for £460 fully comp with the mrs on with me about 1 & an half years ago.

Just out of curiousity i tried to insure the same car @ same address last month & the cheapest I could get was £940.:angry2:

I'm not paying £730 to insure my car thats up £100.

Its morally incorrect.

Who else can i insure with?

SKY are to expensive

Adrian flux is who i am with now.

Not many will touch such a modified car.

i'm the opposite, sky quoted me far better than adrian flux.
crap that higher insurance is causing you to sell up.
 
2007 impreza sti type uk full ppp pack and miltek 3" turbo back litchfield cold air feed and a few other mods all declared. agreed value no voluntary excess, 10k miles a year. 24 yrs old, 7 years no claims, no points etc

fully comp with legal cover for £980

it helps that my postcode is as good as it gets though

shop around though my previous best quote was £1600 odd from adrian flux which i flatly refused. and don't be afraid to haggle
 
Seriously mate? What are they charging you? I've seen your 9 and it's minted, surely it ain't going to cost you that much that you would get rid?
 
Just read the rest of this thread as first time I viewed it just came up with 1st page. Anyway I wouldn't touch Adrian flux, i got a quote for my ek9 (through their imported car sectioned) and they quoted £500 for the year. When I phoned them they said we didn't know your car was imported and then said they would charge £1200, with 4 years ncb and no points. Admiral then insured me for £550 and got this years quote through and was £400.

Shop around and don't just use comparison sites as they are not as good a deal as you think. I work in pensions and it's all a gimic, these insurers pay the comparison sites so their results are not strictly true!

In saying all that I don't think the quote is unreasonable. I know what your saying principle wise but the cost of everything has increased including the cost of repairing a car. In all honesty us guys will be getting a better deal if anything because of the stupid woman who brought it up in court that it was sexist to charge female drivers less.

Insurance companies will have to level out there insurance prices because of this law ruling and although your insurance might go up slight women's insurance will catch up with ours. Boring but it all effects life assurance and the cost of this so technically it will cost us more for pensions and life assurance but will cost us less in car insurance. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
 
Damn, insurance is expensive on the other side of the pond!!

Here insurance is not mandatory, lol :p
 
I'm 25 with 5 years no claims. 3points (SP30) my renewal for this year (in 2 weeks) is £940 on a DC5 with full exhaust system, intake and suspension declared.

I'm seeling up soon to get an evo.

Get this!! - Evo 8 FQ340 MR £1040! Only £100 pound more to insure with the same company (sky insurance) Where the f**k do they get there quotes from?? They make them up as they go along i swear!

Insurance = 1 BIG RIPOFF!! :angry:
 
considered all of these things before stripping mine, i couldn't justify the costs anymore especially with the distance i cover. sad times :(
 
I was quite lucky last year as my renewal dropped from somewhere around £650 to £450 with Admiral. 23 at the time, 2NCB with an accident in 2007.

I think the specialist companies seem to increase the premiums the most (AF, Sky, Brentacre etc.) but I guess once a car is highly modified it rules out mainstream insurers for the owners. I'm in the light modification bracket myself and to be honest can't see me venturing outside it unless these companies start to offer vaguely competitive quotes!
 
So your thinking of selling up due to a £100 increase. Need i remind you the time and money that has gone into that car? Selling it now would be a massive mistake. I doubt in the current market you would make back the money you spent on the engine etc.

Also someone correct me if i am wrong but is there not a new law out in england that if you own a car, regardless of whether or not it is driven, must be insured or it can be crushed?

So we have decided that you cant possibly sell the car whole, so you will break it? Well i refuse to let you use my parents driveway again if that is the case!! :D
