Finally got rid of the C-max, now I'm getting an 01 WRX in black, the bugeyes have been replaced, it has a STI rear spoiler, scoobysport exhaust and nice wheels.....Can't wait.

ONE question though....are their any insurance Co. that you don't have to have a tracker...????
it has one, but I'm not sure £££ it is monthly to get it working..???

Thanks for any help.

i just insured with norwich union, 25y/o ,1year n/c cat 1 alarm on a MY05(EU import) new sti, 2000 quid,,,,no tracker needed, just so long as you have cat1 alarm or immobiliser

Scoobylambo

cheers, I tried Norwich union and they wanted £990, Liverpoo-victoria £980, Tesco's £678 and Privilege £556.....and that was ringing them just to make sure.

Be careful with Tesco's insurance people. It is very much like Admiral's policy in that if your car is written off (regardless of fault), you have to pay the full's years premium and the policy is cancelled as soon as the car is deemed a write off.

This has 2 really nasty effects. One, you could have just insured the car and now have basically lost a year's premium (which is not recoverable from the other party in any circumstances).

The second, is that you have just lost your car, and not too surprisingly, you will want another. Since the policy is cancelled, you have just lost the ability to drive other cars on 3rd party insurance. It is not possible to arrange insurance just for a test drive, and trust me, I tried.

I have just been through this process, and I can say that it is no fun at all. Apart from the fact that I have just swapped my 106 GTi for an Impreza that is due to arrive on Friday

i thought tesco wanted trackers on scoobs?

have a look in the insurance section there has been loads of places mentioned which do not require one. I think they are begining to grasp that these things can be jammed etc and are not worth the ££££


enjoy your car

Luminous - Have just gone through the same myself with Admiral but they didn't cancel my policy...I just paid a premium to top up my policy to cover the WRX. My old car was declared as a write-off (he told me it's now a 58% call....if it's more than 58% of the car's value to repair they write it off) but haven't yet got the settlement figure from them...Perhaps that's the difference?

I had three years NCB but I'll have that knocked back to 2 now....god damn it...

Cheers

I think you'll find Liverpool Victoria will only insure over 30's on the newage scoobs, over 25's on classics. That's what I've seen posted in numerous threads before.

I'm with Directline and have never required the fitment of a tracker.

Admiral don't require trackers.

Wasn't aware of the 'pay whole years premium following write-off' bit though. Will go read the small print tonight.

TBH i was with Norwich Union and they only gave me 25 quid discount when i did get Trakker fitted.I am with L'pool Victoria now.They are far cheaper no matter what.

Don't forget when sorting your insurance that the car has been modded. I know its not much and you wouldn't think it should make a difference, but best to be on the safe side.

Enjoy your new scoob!

L'pool Victoria dont bump up the price for exterior mods and the points on your license unless you have been banned or sumthing.Good to tell them everything tho.They do take notice of engine mods.Still the cheapest in the market
