Insurance Woes

[shahvi]

Hi,

Been quoted £2,500 for insurance on the SC430. I've had it a year and the premiums have gone up. Can anyone suggest any specialist companies I can try?

Rang Bell Direct, Lexus, Tesco and a few others. The best so far has been Privilege. Got 2 SP30s and 1 IN10 and my age is not helping much. Maybe I should change s*x?

Thanx

Vin

One of our members had a really good quote yesterday from Adrian Flux.

DarkIS has a serious list of modifications to his car, and the quote was just over a grand (I paid £700 for my completely bog standard IS).

The thread is here

Also got a good quote from roadsure - 020 8989 3339

when everyone else failed me direct line saved me. i was 19 when i got my new IS 200SE on 1st september and every other company was telling me stupid amounts direct line was much better.

how old are you if you dont mind me asking mate?

I'm 25, 3 years no claims (only been driving since I got the IS back in 1999)

I've rang around a bit more. They all say that its my age that is putting the premium up so much. (Whats wrong with 27???)

I'll try the guys that you have suggested tomorrow in the morning. Need to get it sorted soon.

Not sure if I want to put the alloys on now though, thats adding ~500 but those Kahns look damn good.

20" alloys or £500 additional premium - what do you think?

I don't suppose living in central London helps!

Thanks for the guys,

I ended up paying £2560 in the end! Guess, I'll have to cut down on the drinking a bit.

Getting the Kahn's in two weeks time. Will put the piccies up then!

Tries Adrian Flux and Roadsure and a few other specialists, the couldn't touch the Privilige/Direct Line quote.
