Hey,

Does anyone know any good sites that give you the insurance group number?

It seems alot of sites either dont have the model of scooby im looking at or they have the old range (not up to 50)

Cheers,

UK WAGON

my wrx was a group 37 and my import sti is a group 50 , if this helps

Parkers have the new group lists:

This is where I get confused Parkers say a impreza 2.0r sport is group 26 yet someone just insured one on this site and it was group 13? ahhhh

26 seems a bit extreme for a 20 sport if you ask me , group 13 seems more realistic .

Says 14 on AutoTrader! Who knows! heh.

14 sorry! was thinking off the top off my head :P ahhh i may toddle off along to my local scooby dealership in newcastle and sit down with them and get a nice long list. im sure they'll love me

I cant understand how a 2.0 hatchback is more expensive than a saloon :O

UK WAGON

The link is saying my 04 STi prodrive is group 42. I new it was over 35 as my last insurer the AA wouldn't quote me, as thy said thy only cover up to group 35.

ahhh, i cant even get a quote on a 2000 sport saloon do you guys think mouley could help? or is this a think i am just going to have to wait till im 20?

Don't read too much into the group of the vehicle.

I thought insurance groups only went up to 20.
For instance, a UK turbo was always group 17 whereas a JDM STI was a 20.

They changed the insurance groups a little while ago. A lot of dealers etc still quote the old insurance groups though.

Not any more.

The 1-50 makes it easier to fine tune the groups, but most specialist insurers concentrate on experience and postcodes rather than the group of car TBH.

hughes741

is it true that most insurance companies require 1 year of high performance experience to be in the same car to give a specialist quote?

i have been driving permormance cars for about 3 years but change car approx every 9 months is this likely why i still cant get it under £2400 for my m3 im 25 with 4ncb

grievsa93

Hey moley, have you managed to insure other 17/18 year olds on subarus? like i say, im not bothered about turbos.... roughly what are the prices?

i would be prepared to drive a 1998-2000 scooby i can wait while driving one of them

would love a reply Cheers

a-plan wouldn't insure my step dad on an imported wrx even though he has over 20 years no claims. reason they gave was no previous and recent experience of driving a performance car.

have my modified P1 insured through moley and I'm 26 with 4 ncb, it's massively lower than £2,4k. i told him my previous performance car experience. didn't know if it was necessary but i told him anyway for good measure.

It can be done, but the price would be silly (£5k+)

Better off waiting untill you're 19 and getting a 2.0 Sport

Apparently some companies charge you more for a hatch/wagon because its an extra door to be able to get in to the car

Different insurers use different lists/groups. Well that's what Aviva told me anyway.

grievsa93

Thanks dude! im sure i can wait another year be sure to hear from me on the 18th october 2012

what the hell :') oh yeah mam, if you wouldnt mind just getting in the car through the boot, back doors are a bit squeeky :') im sure insurance companies just chop a chickens head off let them run around on a big board of numbers and see what number it lands on to decide a insurance group :P

grievsa93

yeah i've been on some comparisons sites and they wont insure me with me as the policy holer due to age, wouldnt even come back with a quote except asda and debenhams with £71k haha, with me as a named driver and my dad as a policy holder they wouldnt give me a sensible quote till i changed my age to 19 and they were giving me £5000/£6000 quotes on a 2000 sport, sad sad day

No not a door for you or your passengers to get in to silly lol
But another entry for thiefs to get in


Comparison sites are ****e! They never give you proper insurance quotes and you always have to phone up the company to get a true quote anyway, so a waste of time they are

grievsa93

haha i know :P haha

and yeah true, i was gonna ring around but i dont want to waste moley's time and if i want to 'change' my policy i need my dad to ring my current broker (hes pretty good too) and my parents hate it when i talk about getting new cars so, it appears my car life is decided by my parents... not for too long though, next car i get they can :P and im gonna do it up how i want
