Just been told by Liverpool Victoria that the Subaru Impreza STi5 V-Limitted Type RA (4 Door) doesn't appear on their computor and therefore they couldn't offer cover!

Has anyone got one of these insured with the above?

Paul.

yes i have, just go on there website & look at the models listed, IIRC it say 280BHP 4wd import or something like that, they told me the same so i rang back quoting there exact model code off there site & bingo :D

Thanks Andy!

Just been on the website Andy, they say they don't insure imports?? the list is UK models only!

Paul

I had same problem yesterday - WRX Sti (MY97) 4 door - they insured 2 door but not 4 door!

ignore that statement we dont insure imports, it was orig in there website at the beginning, but they changed there policy, without removing that statement, trust me they insure imports ;)

Yeah - but only if you have 2 doors!

go to this location & look
here
look at the model codes, it say turbo sti 4wd (280BHP)import 4 door, you must quote that exactly

forget filling in the main ****e, just go to the model & fill it in

Andy, You're a star..!

I didn't get to that page when I went on their site earlier, it just gave me UK models....????

Thanks for your assistance

Paul

Thanks 4 that paul, it is a cock up there site & phoning takes ages, after all that i hope youre both over 30 :D

Blo@dy H%ll,

I owe you a drink or three Andy, L&V have just quoted me £700 less than my present insurer, Tesco! :D :D :D

I can't belive it :eek: :eek: :eek:

Cheers

Paul

they knocked me over £400 off direct line who i was with, they dont even want tracker :eek: glad youre sorted mate ;)

200 off my Direct Line as well - thanks for that.

Sounds like your round at the next meet! Mine's a pint of champagne!

LOL @ Super!

It also pays to increase your excess - I got a good discount for increasing mine to £500 (from £300 iirc).

Also they don't seem to be bothered about mods, as long as you don't increase the engine cc. I've got my brake upgrade, alloys and exhaust mods all listed at no xtra charge.
Edited to also say that at renewal last month, I checked with Priviledge, tesco and two others and none came close to LV without getting into the subject of mods....................

L & V are sh@t - despite using the link and finding my car on their website (WRX Sti MY97 - 4 door) when I phone to insure they tell me they don't cover this car! They told me website meant nothing - it was down to whether it was on their list! What is going on!

im sorry mate, if you quoted exactly what is quoted on there website that should off been enough, is it the year of manufacture thats the prob?

I think he has said it is a 'WRX STI import'and on their listing as someone above has quoted their list says 'TURBO STI import'so technically you have not insured your car if you have a WRX STI .I know there is no TURBO STI import but if something were to happen they may get funny and say you lied about the details as you have not notified them of their error , if they say it is a printing error on their behalf then get your document ammended or a letter from them to clarify the difference in wording to cover yourself if the worst ever happens . The last thing you want is for them to get off without paying up over the wording in the document , it is the same as the reg. being wrong or a different persons name on the document .There seems to be alot of confusion with L&V on what they will and won't insure.


Mark

I can see type RA on the list BUT NO TYPE R !!!!!

has anyone with a TypeR had insurance from L&V ?

I'll answer my own question, just phoned them and apparently they only have two imports listed and one of them is:

WRX STI 2 Door import (wahhay)

Minimum age of 30 on my WRX , u old farts haha

They do not list this car. If you insure the car as an STi 4 door as mentioned earlier in the thred you are not insured, its not the same car.

L&V's list of insured vehicles is a bad joke, so many incorectly specified cars there. For example they list the 22B as a 4 door.

That list is really funny, NOT :(

Now I'm going to panic until I call them tomorrow about my 4dr 22b ! Not that it mentions the number of doors on my certificate so I can't see it matters. But this is an insurance company so I will have to confirm it.

Oh and when did Subaru make a WRX STI 2100cc 3dr?

DaveW.

I just phoned and they won't insure me as DVLA have got the model down as a GL, and that doesn;t match with what I want to insure a "1994 WRX import" which is on their list!

send your V5 document back to the DVLA and get the correct model put on, they will do this if you explain what is wrong.
