i am 20 with 3 years no claims, i've just been quoted ?1536 for a 2000 model 1.8t gti (sooo haaps[])on TPFT with elephant, but a year ago they quoted me something like ?7.5-?8k with the same specs and details. y on earth that has changed so dramatically within a year AND i also tried to get a quote on 150PD and they quoted me nuts ?6558[:O] any ideas y any1????

You're happy about a ?1500 car insurance quote??! Mad

Ah, you live in London. Nuff said. I'm glad I live in the sticks and pay circa ?600/yr for my V6

 

[turbo_gti]

have you tried greenlight ?

 

[The Walrus]

And no company I know of would insure that value car on TPFT, TPO possibly but the normal threshold for cars acceptable for TPFT is SUB ?5000.

Do check on that as it sounds suspicious

 

[andymac]

Try Adrian Flux they WILL beat that qoute if it s genuine but as said above none will give tpft for a ?5000 plus car

 

[daflyingfinn]

yep, the value of the car was ?5k cos its nearly 100k miles with FSH some body repairs to b done.

WTF

 

[skillz]

5k worth of car is too much on TPFT insurance policy IMO. what if u have accident remember is does not necessirly need to be your thought for you too loose out 5k. 2100 is uneconomical to insure almost any car let alone something worth 1.5k. this is madness i say get the bus.

 

[daflyingfinn]

And that was Fully Comp. I got a quote on a 1.8T Golf, 150PD and a 2004 2.0TDI A3 and they were all about the same. With regards to post code, I really doesnt get any worse than SE18!!

 

[PJ52GLY]

Yopu think that's wierd . .

I'm 30, live in London (HA3 postcode) with 25 yr old wife.

One total loss claim, not my fault but other driver not found.

We need a 2nd car for wifey, whol will not be fobbed off with a Mini.

I pay ?1,000 on the 4 motion with full NCB.

Quotes on the 2nd car, a 2002 330ci sport are . .

Direct Line (current insurer) - ?2,283 less 35% introductory discount

Elephant - ?1,053, 12 month policy, NO ncb, no introductory discount

How can a 330ci sport cost less to insure than a 4 motion ?
