Insurance woes and wtf have i done.
 
Well in september last year i brough a turbo 2000 i loved it. but i sold it for a bike in march this year hear i am 7 months after selling it going into winter n the nights are drawing in. im thinking of another i miss the rumbling theme tune. and the car alarm i used to set off lol. i really really miss it. and now i have a sense of what the hell have i done
:freak3:

anyways i got my insurance last year for £948 paying monthly. now a year later (6 months after i cancelled) they now want 1400! its the cheapest i can find!

HELP!

I think its the insurance companies that are getting conned.

Cash for crash and I broke my fingernail can I have £10,000 please etc etc.

Try Greenlight insurance they smashed all other quotes I got by a long way on both my last cars, Pulsar GTi-R and my current Type R.

am 25 and have a uk 2000 and am paying £900 quid with elephant insurance and my brother who is 20 has an astra mk4 sri turbo and pays the same price and the cars are basically the same insurance group,i also have 7 years no claims,think am getting ripped off

Webba's right greenlight has beat every quote I've ever had went up to £560 fully comp with the girlfriend on this year. That's on a modified car policy. People like Adrian flux charge extra for every mod. Best thing to do if you've got time is to play each insurance company off against one another, it worked for me.

Exactly.

If you could see how much the insurers are paying out on personal injury claims you'd understand why rates are going up.

Yeah they are really good. The mods I made to my Pulsar full exhaust, filter, coilovers, front mount and up in boost to 1 bar didn't affect my premium at all from standard. The insurance for my Type R with turbo back exhaust was 700 last year. I've had to make two claims both not my fault and they have been really helpful. I'd always recommend them.

Aviva £500 fully comp 1998 sti with 5 yrs ncd. Wife (31) is policy holder and im named driver (35) all mods declared, simtek, afp 20g, nismo 740s, fmic, 3" straight through exhaust, fuel pump, runiing 25% meth and a few other bits and bobs....

Majority of the prices are postcode based. I could put my details in at my mates address and it shoots up to £1900 which in my opinion is a joke.

Whats the best/ stroke cheapest postcode to insure then?

i think my insurance is reasonable for my age etc

I'm assuming anything starting with a 'B' automatically adds 50% to a quote..... :lol1:
