Yeah tell me about, it feels like most of them are just profiteering and using the insurance rises as an excuse

So lets get this right:
we pay through the nose for car insurance, which rises every year.

Then when you are in an unfortunate position like imprezajon is, they offer you peanuts

And there's nothing you can do about it. Unless you can find similar spec'd cars for sale and show what they are going for. I did this when I was younger when they offered me half the price of my car until I showed them what it was really worth.

insurance are just arseholes jon, you do get the odd one with a good reputation such as moley but the majority or at least the ones I have ever dealt with aren't willing to do anything for you other than rape you of your cash and the offer a p!ss poor value on your pride and joy in the unfortunate event of an accident

Its my own fault that I don't have no claims. I either change my car so cancel the insurance or I end up on traders from work. I no longer work at a garage so can't be put on a traders policy. No offers as of yet so I'm looking at insurance. As soon as I do its comming off sale.

I am 22 and do live in Birmingham.

Someone must have some ideas or somehwere to get insured *wink* *wink*.

Guys please I need help.

unfortunatly birmingham has been put on the insurance blacklist, due to the high rate of personal injury claims (apparently on the chester road is the worst for it ) there was a news report on it last month, and brum is in the top 5 in the country.

Car is gone now

When I got rid of my classic I didn't feel anything it was an inanimate object.
