Default WRX insurance for 31yr olds

Just wondering if I have a good deal with insurance or not? 55 plate WRX saloon, garaged of course, 31yr old, 6yrs no claims, 6 points (obtained pre-WRX!) with PPP - £720. This is with Elephant. Just curious about those of you with simlar circumstances.

Cheers fella. I ran through online and it came out at 410 but they require a tracker fitting which I don't have. That was also without the PPP into consideration as there was no way to add it. Shame, but thanks for the idea.

Seems ok to me but post code is a major factor.

Unless I missed it, nobody has mentioned what type cover. IIRC mine is roughly £650 TPTF. 31, clean licence, drive for a living.

Wonder how much Moley WRX pays for his cover

Dunno how old he is though.

I'm 27, with the wife insured too on a two year old WRX we're paying £800. I only have three years no-claims. Car is garaged and only down for 10,000 miles a year. It looks to me like you are being penalised for your points mate. I would try the companies in the insurance section though, I called A-Plan (never heard of them before looking on here) and they dropped my previous best quote by £100 straight away. No tracker required and really good customer service.

Its cheaper to insure a spouse on your policy even if they aren't going to drive it!

I looked on here, some of the prices were very cheap. But be warned, most of the prices do not match up with the website if you actually call the broker. You have to check with the provider before you get your hopes up
RAC gave me a good quote btw

A-plan on an 06 WRX with Mods, 31 and the car is garaged, cost me £550 all in fully comp. As I insured 2 cars together they took an extra £50 of each car.

cannot recomend them enough.

Nope. They've stopped covering imports as new policies now haven't they

I didn't think it was a bad price.

Default 2002 Sti PPP policy for £500

I have only 4yrsNC but got Norwich Union policy out of 'Endsleigh' for £500ish and thats no garage, no tracker and bad area.

Not seen cheaper and Norwich Union wanted £1300 when I tried them directly, well weird!

So go Endsleigh!
