Hi.

I'm in the throws of trying to find the best solution to my craving for an impreza. Due to work commitments I need to run a diesel car as my first car, but I'm trying to claw together funds to get a nice scooby as a weekend car. Unfortunately this means trying to get the scooby insured as a second vehicle . Does anybody know of places that are good for insuring scoobies as second cars?

When I tried Adrian Flux when I'd spotted a nice Imported R33 GTS-T Skyline they wanted £3K for a years fully comp..... And the car was only gonna cost around the £7K mark!!!!!

I'm really, really confused...... Please help!

{p.s. - I'm 27 with 5 years NCD on my main car (SEAT Toledo at the moment), but I'm looking at either an import WRX/STI or an UK Turbo 2000, probably around the 6 - 8K mark}

Surely the most cost-effective option here has to be to insure the Subaru (or whatever) as your main car and re-insure the Toledo as a second car. Have you tried doing it that way?

Thanks for the pointers..... I think I'll be giving Adrian Flux a wide-berth and trying L&V. Just checked out another thread and L&V seems to be pretty good. Anybody had any experience of a claim with them?

greasemonkey - I haven't actually tried the toledo as a second car (yet?!?) but I did do the online quote with a number of companies using the toledo and no no-claims bonus and it was better than the scooby!

Lagamorph - I tried elephant online... From memory they were around the same sort of money as Admiral. I tried them for an Escort Cosworth Lux (boyhood favourite car!!!) and was shocked at how little they wanted... A mere £1500! The AA wanted £4500 for the same car!

unfortunately yes i have, there were very good, as soon as the chappie had seen the damage, they ok'd it within 3 days and it took SCOOBYCLINIC just 8 days to sort her out
Dinged the passenger wing and all down both doors and rear end, while she was in had new front and rear lights fitted both colour coded and then the mirror's and sils done aswell oh yes had a bigger spoiler as well

Sweeeeetttttt......

Glad to hear that at least one company out there plays ball and doesn't take the "hit 'n' miss"! I actually like Direct line as a company (my current insurer), but they don't seem to like performance cars. Maybe if I promised to wear a flat cap whilst driving an impreza they would give me better quotes?!?!

Cheers,

Michael.

Do not quote me on this but i can remember a while a friend of mine was looking for the same thing as you and the answer was the AA if you have a policy with them for your first car they give you the same no claims for your second car as well if that makes any sense wirth giving them a call if only to find out mate hope this helps.
