High claims ratio

Theft stats are awful (look on the MLR to see how many have been stolen recently)

Just been on confused.com quotes coming out at £600 notes for an 2003 sti , for a t reg evo it was banging out £800 plus!! Forget that , been to see two evo's today both dogs , but I do like the the model but I think that has changed my mind , I was thinking they would be about the same!!

May also be something to do with the fact that all evos before the nine are imports.

At 45 years old I am looking at near £700 to insure an evo, £550 JDM Scoob, £200 uk classic, all for business use.

Ive just been offered a straight swap, my 2001 uk300 for a evo 7. i pay £600 fully comp on the scoob and my insurance company want nearly £3.5k for the evo. although the evo is worth more, by the time i insure it it wouldn't be worth swapping.

Anyone want to buy a evo 7 £6.5k. lol
