Hi Mark,

Is that Barclays as in Barclaycard or is it a different company altogether. Can they quote online?

Thanks

Privilege just quoted me (24 3yrs no claims) £1325 for myself and my girlfriend (21) on an unmodified 97 turbo (with tracker).

Shame I've got a modified sport and they would only offer >£1400

I heard from Martyn that Green light are meant to be very good, I haven't got their number (if anyone has could you give it to me please). If you ask him about the young guy that walked in and bought a new Sti who is 23 with 5 years NCB for £1200 not bad!!

Getting totally hacked off with this insurance lark - it seems to be an absolute lottery!!!

I'm 25 with 3 yrs NCB, living in London (N10 postcode), parked on the street, have one SP30 from 1998 but no previous claims. Best quote so far (inc Business Use)on a MY02 WRX with Cat1 etc is £2700!!!

Getting more frustrated by the minute!

Thumbs down

Privilege just quoted me £3173!!! I appreciate my postcode is not very friendly but so far I haven't had a quote that's anywhere near the ones stated on this forum. There seems to be no logic to insurance at all.

I don't understand this insurance bo11ox, you seem to get a different quote depending on who you speak to and the tiniest detail can make a BIG difference - e.g. whether you have a turbo or not

I'm 22, 5 years no claims, clean licence, tracker, cat1, garaged, 'standard' MY97 UK Turbo......

£900 (protected NCD).

N.B. as I have done 'Pass Plus', Privilege give me an extra 10% off - EVERY YEAR, I think!

Jen - what exactly do they mean by 'previous experience' ? Hopefully not a dumb question (it is late!! ). Do they mean that you must have previously owned and insured a 'performance' car, or that you must literally have had 'experience' ?

Im 23 (24 in October) and would be looking to get a new WRX this year some time.

I have off street parking, but only 2 years NCB (becomes 3 in 6 or 7 months). By the time I get hold of one, I will probably have climbed up to 3 yrs NCB (I didnt crash or anything - well, I did many moons ago , but I was on a company insurance scheme for the first few years of me driving, hence no NCB - had a big off during that time....)

I should be able to get a decent quote shouldnt I?

Please....??!!

Nick Cook - Ive had some £1600/£1700 on line quotes come back. Ive found that with these on line quotes you can play around with the different elements (age/NCB/excess/postcode etc...) and see what really effects the premium. Might be worth a try...


Jamie - Is the 'Pass Plus' thing the one you have to do within a year of your test, or something? If so, can anyone recommend a similar kind of course (that isnt too expensive) that you can do at anytime, and that would lower insurance...

John - Yep, I started my Pass Plus within a week if doing my test - ther last thing I wanted to do was take more lessons but it only cost me 70 quid and got me 30% off my first premium = 300 quid!
I think only new drivers can take it, but when I took out insurance with Privilege (about 3 years after my test) I thought 'what the hell' and sent the certificate to them anyway. I received a letter back saying 'congratulations for gaining Pass Plus, this entitles you to 10% off your premium'.
Which was nice.
