View Full Version : Type 25 and STi Forester Quotes Mog 20 July 2004, 22:39 I'm trying to get quotes on the above for myself and the wife..39 and 42 respectively, full no claims, no cons or accidents but getting nowhere really. Tesco's want £1400 for the T25 and £1500 for the Forester, no one else so far has been able to quote.....any suggestions. Mog SPEN555 20 July 2004, 23:30 £1400 for a T25 does not seem that unreasonable. My quote for a T25 was £1900!!! Did you specifically tell Tesco it had a 2.5 turbo engine? Damian. stevem2k 20 July 2004, 23:44 you tried liv vic ? Forester should be on their list. Steve Mog 21 July 2004, 15:52 Tesco's did know it had a 2.5 engine ...why do you ask Liv Vic didn't want to know. Mog SPEN555 21 July 2004, 16:22 Mog, Just the T25 is not a standard car (JDM STi with different block etc) and so would not be on the usual list of insurable cars. So I am suprised to see tesco being able to quote on it. Damian. Mog 21 July 2004, 17:22 The T25 was quite painless to talk about with Tesco's, however they started off telling me that the Forester STi 2.5 didn't exist until I gave them the web link to Subaru Japan and then they quoted for it including the exhaust change and T25 suspension. Mog RLE 22 July 2004, 12:35 Get your money out Damian and get a Type 25 bought. Then you can take me for a spin!! A few weekends staying away from your regular drinking holes should see you save that premium!

Mog I tried to get a quote from L&V for the Forester. To cut a long story short the underwriters were always out for lunch (long lunches they have) and I gave up waiting. I don't see why the Forester should be more than the T25 though, not that logic has ever had anything to do with insurance quotes ! Did they quote for it unmodified - the standard STi suspension and exhaust should do for the time being... Mog 22 July 2004, 20:50 The problem with the forester was that they refused to believe it existed at first, I didn't ask for a quote on a standard car as the wife insists she wants the mods.....some good news though as Bellevue have quoted £867 for the T25 and £847 for the forester. Mog ricardo 22 July 2004, 21:11 That's more like it... ! I still haven't made up my mind about the Forester though. Its like I want one, but I don't like the look of it much :( T25 not much use to me although it is a cracking car. Mrs. ricardo is getting a RX8, so whatever I get needs to be a hatchback or an estate - otherwise we're stuck for any load carrying. Get shares in petrol companies now.

Funny you should say that you need an estate as my Audi RS4 is for sale.............. Mog SPEN555 22 July 2004, 22:38 Mog, Who are Bellevue? That's a fantastic quote for a T25! $OD the Forrester, get 2 T25's at that price! Rob, I had the money to convert my car to the T25 (as mine is the same model the T25 is) but insurance stopped me going for it. I have just blown that money on an 87 Audi Quattro as a second car.
