car insurance

[Wideboy]

so today i thought i would sort out my car insurance, so i go to a certain broker as i've herd good things about them. so i go to get the quote, now i was only driving my old car for 6ish months and then i sold it, with that and a 10% discount with my 2 years no claims for my bike they quoted me £2300 TPFT, WHAT!!!, he advised me to sell the car and get a 1.2 or less petrol, "whats the point thats still going to be quicker than the 106" i said, then left in a huff

not happy :smt076

EDIT: my car is peugeot 106 1.5D, step down from my old Corsa

I thought you couldn't use bike related NCB on a car policy and vice-versa?

Still, helluva steep. :smt104

I'd say £400 fully comp for my scooby impreza turbo is much better than £2300 for your pug 1.5d ;)

PS - do you go over Northam Bridge to/from work?

[Wideboy]

no but i go over it once a week after work as i stop off to see a mate at work in town, i have seen a loud curvy along there quite a few times and a black standard curvy



i've managed to get my quote down to 1770 which is still insane

and give me a go in your scooby, i will go up the industrial est and show them boy racers a thing or two;)

[neio79]

WTF, how much?? have yo crashed every other day since you had a licence??

do they realise how slow that car is and how un attractive it is to thieves.

In theory i agree with pricing youngsters out of having high performance cars (but this aint one) as there are far to many dIIk heads in fast cars around that think they are all that. Oh and if us bikers have to be restricted if we are under 21 so should car drivers.

[kwak zzr]

i'm finding insurance expencive this year, perhaps its all gone up?

[Biker Biggles]

Kwak you are a victim of the Establishment's concerted attack on posties.That's why they have put your premium up.;)

[Wideboy]

thats what i said to him when he told me to get a 1.2 or less which is what i got rid of, i just said even if i get a 1000cc it will still be quicker and nice to knick than my 106, i only bought the bluddy thing as a winter hack as i thought it would be cheap to run and i wouldn't have to use the bike

insurance is the biggest con going, going to start a anti insurance brigade group type thingy

[kwak zzr]

Kwak you are a victim of the Establishment's concerted attack on posties.That's why they have put your premium up.;)

either that or i keep crashing:smt044

[kwak zzr]

diesel cars are normally higher to insure anyway perhaps a small petrol is the way to go?

[Wideboy]

lol no offense but its a bit late now:lol:

i could make a profit if i sold it but i really wanted to get a car sorted bye now, im going to phone around tomorrow (another weekend wasted) see if i get a discount for forklift license :lol:

[kwak zzr]

try Go compare.com & compare the market.

[Wideboy]

i did go compare they came out at 1900 and money supermaket came out at 1800 but i will try compare the market and report back :salut:

[Wideboy]

2300 :mad:, might have clicked something wrong i had to kill a huge spider half way through, and i do mean huge

[kwak zzr]

ooops, what u gonna do? gonna pay it or sell the car?

[Wideboy]

haven't the foggiest, i can afford to pay it but its the principle of paying that amount that im not happy with

[kwak zzr]

i can understand that:( its alot of money.

[Wideboy]

well cheapest is 1770 so i can afford it, don't know who to try next

[kwak zzr]

i wouldn't pay it out of principle but a car is important.

[Wideboy]

indeed it is :scratch:

[Wideboy]

insurance has defiantly gone up, just got quoted 1500 for the car i sold, you think i could tell them to contact my employer as i have driven the company cars ETC

[kwak zzr]

mine went up £80 this year.

[Wideboy]

just a guess but do you think its something to do with the government, i do

[kwak zzr]

:smt093 their the reason for it normally, prob to pay for all the cars damaged in the floods?

[Wideboy]

i am well am truly gob smacked, have no idea what to do, really don't want to shift it as its immaculate and if i sold it for 900 which i could theres nothing int hat price range that would come close i.e. mileage.

[kwak zzr]

dont know what to say your shafted from all angles:(

[Wideboy]

yes and not in a good way:lol:

well tomorrow will be D day, i will phone around see what the best is that i cant get, if me don't likey then i will have to depart with the puggy:(

[Wideboy]

down to 1720 now so its slowly falling:mad:

apparently my quotes are so high because i didn't have my old car long enough to build up some no claims so insurance companies still consider me a 1st time driver:smt013

[kwak zzr]

how old r u? still its abit high even with no NCD.

[Wideboy]

thats a bit personal:smt105

18 years young:p

[kwak zzr]

arr it should be DOUBLE what your being quoted then:)

[Wideboy]

you've probably jinxed it now (tough wood you haven't [-o<)

[kwak zzr]

I'm complaining @ £423.15 for my 04 tdi.

[Wideboy]

tell you what you can not renew your insurance sell the car and give all the money to me:smt045

[kwak zzr]

[Wideboy]

funny that, i was thinking sell that loverly blue curvey to me and insure your car:)

see i told you blue curvys are the bestest sv, but i said when i decided to buy another car that the car would have to go before the bike

[leemole]

[Wideboy]

i know its bluddy crap:smt013

[Wideboy]
