Unhappy

I'm 30 with a MY98 WRX (Japanese import) which I've owned for 3 and a half years, a clean license which I've held for 10 years, have never claimed, 6 years NCB and my renewal has just gone up from about £1100 to over £1350! FFS, WTF etc etc.
Can anyone suggest a company that will probably give me a better quote than that? Thanks for any help.

Greenlight told me they have had a bad year on the Impreza turbo so are either quoting high or not at all.

However, I have a Sport and they beat my Norwich Union Direct renewal by £200!! (£780 --> £580 fully comp inc mods )

It seems as if scoobies are almost as bad as 'cossies' were in the 90's ! And we all know why...I HATE thieving basts !!!

However, I've just bought a MY96 UK Turbo for the missus, most were quoting into the £700's, but Churchill just quoted £553.

Might be worth giving them a call, but I wouldn't bother with impressions of the dog from the adverts - they don't find it funny !

Cheers


Matt

LOL @ Dog impressions

Churchills were going to quote me with my Afterburner exhaust as it's a *cosmetic* mod but the refused to give me a price when I mentioned my Subaru WRX 17" wheels

Question

Just had a quote from Kwik Fit of £390 for my MY00. Anyone out there used em before?, seems a bit cheap compared to my other quotes of >£580.

Cheers,

Mark...

LOL @ Kwik Fit.

I thought I'd stumbled across a good deal with them. Eventually turns out they were quoting me against a 1.8 GL Impreza, not MY00 Turbo. Make sure they've got your car right........

Thumbs up

Thanks for all the info guys.
Have a few more places to ring (like A Plan), but have had a quote of about £960 from Liverpool Victoria which is much more like what I expected! Thanks again all.
