Renewal came through yesterdayfrom Admiral.

Phoned areound to try and reduce it but no joy.

?920 (me 29, 6 years NCB, IAM driver, clean license) and wife (same but 26) living in Docklands.[][B)]

 

[Gary]

Have you tried Esure? Knocked about ?300 off my quote.

 

[turbo_gti]

Try Greenlight. Speak to Neil and get a forum discount! []

 

[MkIV Turbo]

Yup, I'd recomend Neil to, is a top bloke.

 

[sutherlandm]

Have you got a number or web address?

Sounds promising...[|)]

 

[Tom R32]

Iam 26, 5 yrs no claims and I pay ?1011 fully comp, fully protected and I use Tesco. I live in a fairly good area though.

 

[MRK IV]

Try Liverpool Victoria - saved me over ?500 against Adrian Flux - and that's now including protecting my NCB and insuring my other half - who's 25.

 

[sutherlandm]

No joy with Greenlight or esure.

Will keep trying!

 

[golfv64mo]

Jeez. There ain't no way I'm moving down south! I pay around ?700 for fully comp insurance. I'm 25, have 1 claim against me (theft of stereo from my car) and only 1 years NCB. I'm with Elephant.

 

[sutherlandm]

Tried them all and the best is Bell with ?885.

Will stay with Admiral at ?920 [B)][]

 

[BlahBlahMan]

Sounds bad but i've got a blemish free history (passed test at 17 now 34) and my 110 STILL costs me ?500 fully comp.

I'd be happy to pay double for an R'.

 

[sutherlandm]

Blahblahman - Made me feel better!

E14 not a good postcode (despite secure parking).

Was expecting around ?7-800.

Oh well - It's worth it (I think)!

 

[Tom R32]

It is worth it, I was paying ?1945 for my M3 when I was 23 - now that hurt but the car was worth it, then when I changed to my 51 plate Range ROver it went down to ?850 - the Rangie being worth 40k - so work that out!?!?!?!?

 

[sutherlandm]

Hard to put a value on insurance - Seems a bit random.

My mk2 GTi 8V was group 14, yet my Saxo VTR (about as quick) was group 7!

Apparently the R32 is a bit of a tricky one and sort of fits into it's own category.

Can afford it for now but it still hurts a bit.

Tom - How the HELL did you own an M3 aged 23?! Loaded parents or are you an internet whizz?!

 

[sutherlandm]

Oh yeah - Insured on the inlaws ?45k 4.2l Landcruiser Amazon as is my 26 year old wife. Total premium (FIL has 6 points and is 50) - ?450!

I used to be with Brentacre when I had the Mk 3. They were one of the most expensive quotes I received when I bought the R32 though because they said they only really deal with older cars.

Elephant were the cheapest for me for the R32 - 25 years old, 3 points, Protected No Claims, 8 years NCB, 2 named drivers - ?690!

 

[sutherlandm]

Brentacre ?1600 for me.

Golfgirl - You must live in the Welsh Mountains or similar!

That's DAMN cheap!

 

[The Walrus]

Thats odd as I have a 2001 1.8t chipped coilovers wheels different bumpers exhaust and a few other goodies and they came in with the best quote of ?730 9yrs ncb no points off street parking etc.

I have heard Herts use that excuse before about not doing newer cars did they even try and match the price ?

 

[marriedblonde]

I pay ?905 for my r, 32 years old, 9 points for speeding, max no claims including bussiness mileage, wheels, suspension, exhaust etc all declared. So thats prababley about right for you I'd say.
