Cheapest modified insurance.

[blueorb]

Hi, just took a look at gtsdarell white turbo for sale. Looks pretty! However, enquired about insurance and no one wants to know. I can get an umodified car insured for about £620 f/c.

Any thoughts?

[ribbo]

blue,

how old are you?

edited to add....

okay, so it's a revII k reg, bout the same as mine,

if your under 25 then your stuck with not a lot of options,

best thing to do is get www.mr2dc.com membership straight away because

a) you can try dorset insurance for a discounted rate (see details on the dc club)

b) Adrian flux require it.

other than that there was 1-2 other people that were happy to insure me from the back of Banzai but not many others.. cant wait till im 25 in october.

[Hotshot2005]

Have you tried Autotrader website and then go insurances!! They are pretty good but again it depends on your age and current status ie no claims etc

I got my 2 insurance from there and it was £600 I think which weren't bad, I have slight mods but nothing to write home about.

I think that was F/C as well

Good luck

Age = 29

full n/c

car parked on street at night

3 points (sp 30) in 2003

1xaccident on 26 feb this year, however no claim made.

GTSDarrel's car has a lot of mods!

I want to keep running costs low, plan on using the car as a daily run about, that why I origionally wanted a standard one. It looks as though I may have to import! Seems truamatic!

[Driftlimits Performance]

wouldn't bother signing up to DC
Unless you wanna be paying for Kens mk3


Try Adrian Flux.

I got quoted £800 4yrs ncb, on a driveway, 22yrs old.

Dorset don't offer competitive quotes anymore, particularly so on modded cars. I'd call dorset first before you throw £30 away on DC membership!

[blueorb]

So who is competitive on mods?

I tried adrian flux for standard car cover. At first they seemed competitve, but then the quote increased a few days later? WTF?

I have found Elephant fairly cheap, but will not insure mods.

AON can be pretty good and mod friendly too.

Tesco wouldnt touch me on a jap car (22, 2 NCB) as under 25, unless i was renewing an existing policy, Flux used to insure my j reg g ltd at 19 (but only tpft)

Try www.confused.com

[URBANLEGEND]

im 22 with 5 years ncb, 3 points and got insured on a 92 gts turbo fully comp for just over £900... not bad i thought from adrian flux!

Unable to quote on an MR2 Turbo when I tried them

[senie]

oh.
i got about 4 quotes on std ones. didnt even ask abuot modded as i was some way off buying at time.

[Dave Couzens]

Confused's best quote for me was £2500!!!! Best thing was, i had a follow up call from Endsleigh (the only one from confused's list who would quote me) and this numpty proceeded to tell me that he could lower my quote a bit by getting more detail.

After me telling him he would need to come down by £1400 to get competitive and then me having to intricatley describe what strut braces were - he said (in his whiney voise) that it was still coming out really high.

the best bit - he then told me to get a cheaper car insurance with them i should buy a cheaper car?!! At which point i just hung up. Wow - what a salesman.

On a side note - Elephant have been my best quote so far for the turbo, quite cheap and cover the basic mods. Flux were a bit too pricey for me on this.

Skywalker - how come you quote with them is so low? I'm 22 prospectively having a 94 gts turbo with a few mods (nothing major) and flux said £1400 - no claims etc and a nice area. I just don't get it?

[blueorb]

Phoned AON yesterday, nearly fell of my chair with shock!!!

Standard gt turbo motor £311.20, This would be a classic type policy, limmited to 5000miles and it not being my main car. Both of these conditions are not a problem, but they insist on a drive way or garage. I don't have one!

I thought about asking my neighbor if I can use his drive.

What a price?

[r.dawson]

thats because they dony take into account ncb's and because they view you as a car enthusiast, which at the end of the day we all are.

i take it you want one then
