INSURANCE

[marmite]

Re-insured the beast..went with Priv as they were the cheapest by far..
I was with Direct line and they want £935 but Priv want £565 big diff..!!

Norwichunion wanted £1800 shame on you..!!!

Didn't go near elephant...!

As we are similar ages what else are people paying..£565 seems well cheap to me..that is with protected no claims

 

[Randomjim]

How old are you? if you don't mind me asking

 

[marmite]

I'm 31 nearly 32 with full NCD and 1 SP30. I'm well chuffed with my quote

 

[Randomjim]

That is pretty good considering its a £50k plus car with 450 bhp

I found elephant to be the cheapest for me

 

[bbigman2000]

Im paying a grand and thats with 10 points all for speeding and 2 years no claims and im 33.

Thats with Norwich Union surprisingly !!

 

[natedog]

mmm im currenty paying like 1200 for mine with 7 years NCB, but that is cause the ocmpany im with is a Jap insurance company as I used to haev an evo, done load of looking about and should be able to get it for about 600-700 all being well.. Be first time in 8 years I will be paying less than £1000

Worse year I ever had was about 5 years ago was paying a total of about £4k for insurance, but this was on 2 cars :-( never again

 

[Randomjim]

What two cars was that?

 

[bbigman2000]

most ive ever paid was £1800 per annum on my P1

I'm was well shocked..I set a target of a grand insurance but couldn't believe these quotes sub £1000 then Priv said sub £600 I was really shocked..had this quote when I got the car but I had already paid for the insurance through Direct line so didn't bother swapping over just topped it up until renewel.

The RS is this year cheaper to insure then my Allroad??? no idea how or why but it is....

Also cheaper for me to insure RS then a B6 S4.

 

[Randomjim]

That makes sense

 

[marmite]

That makes sense

no idea makes no sense to me..RS was £14 more then an S6..insurance companies make no sense at all to me.

But I'm not complaining at all cheaper the better for me

 

[Randomjim]

Yup happy days

 

[natedog]

It was on an E36 M3 Evo Coupe and a Escort Coswroth runing 403bhp.. was loads of fun

 

[Randomjim]

That explains the high insurance then

 

[marmite]

E36 M3 Evo my Fav I grew up on BMW and lov'd them....UNTIL the Audi chip was inserted into my head
Was it standard??? Think from memory they were 308BHP as the orginal ones were 286BHP..which in those days were big power...now that is nothing how times change..god I sound old

 

[bbigman2000]

321bhp the evo's mate, I loved mine aswell, great cars, aside from the vanos issues LOL

 

[natedog]

yer was the 321bhp model, second day I had it entered a roundabout backwards.. those where the fun days... Also once it had a new gearbox done under warranty, pulls out the garage sideways.. then I got onto the Jap stuff, then fell in love with the RS6

 

[bbigman2000]

lol about the same as me then mate I have had everything apart from skylines.

 

[natedog]

yer never had an r34, it was either the RS6 or R34... An the Audi won....

 

[marmite]

good choice..I have only ever driven 1 skyline and that was far too quick for it's own good..the guy said it was 800bhp with out Nox.
He also had a 800bhp W12 LHD LWB A8 it had 2 bottles of Nox in the back and was progressive...NOT THAT WAS SCAREY QUICK..didn't drive it was a passenger and never felt anything move so quick.

 

[bbigman2000]

lol thats mad mate, quickest thing ive been in was a 550bhp evo 7.

It was good but still prefer my RS6
