I'm about to buy a new MY01 and made a few calls to see if I could afford the insurance.
Greenlight, Flux and a few others coming in at £900.
But Direct Line and Tesco - much cheaper £650/£700, until..... I told them the car was coming from Belgium. Result £300 hike.
When I asked why this was, they told me difficuly to get parts :-(, more risky etc. etc.
I think they're getting confused here - since a Belgian import is identical to a UK except the alarm.
I need to pursue this a bit more, 'cos of the money involved.
Anybody else had the same problem?
