That`s cos a lot of younger owners can`t get insured or can`t afford the insurance.

What you paying chaps1536?

24, 6 years NCB, no claims, no points and with Keith Michaels paying just under £2000, fortunately i'm an existing customer so i'm able to be insured still. I beleive i would have been paying between £2000 - 3000 if i wasn't with KM.

Well said birchy2010.

I've owned my Impreza Turbo 2000 for 2 years, first year i was paying about £2000, second year £1500 and this renewal just under £2000.

Who's paying the most insurance!?

Thanks
Sam

I'm 23 with a Classic UK Turbo 2000 that's standard. (at the moment ) 6 years NCB and no points helps the insurance, although I've got a motor trade policy.

That doesn't count then Guest lol. Do you own the trade policy or are you a listed driver on one?

I'm a listed driver on a trade policy but i don't drive cars on it as if i crashed the car or got hit, my employer would not appreciate me using it. In fact i would be insured while driving but the moment i got hit i would become uninsured if it was personal as they aren't going to sort out my mistake, and i don't blame them, they obviously work hard to run the company.

Thanks

motor trade policy not cover you for only driving cars that u dont own though ??? or at least ones that are not registered in ur name ??? and have had a valid v5c filled out thats says been sold to a trader ?

i heard my mates traders policy only covers him in this way , had to insure his r32 outright as he was told if it was driven or at most crashed then he could be done for no insurance as the car was registered to him and he owned the car as such
