[Tom316]

I did do a search to see if a thread like this had been done before but I couldnt find any so here we go. Post up the cheapest or the highest insurance quotes you have ever got. As well as the car and your age.

Me:

Lowest - BMW 316 1.8 TPFT - £722
Highest - Fiesta 1.25 Si TPFT - £8878

I'm just getting round to renewing on my daily drive 320i - quotes so far have ranged from under £200 to £2500. I'll be 27 by the time the renewal is due!

I quite fancy an MX-5 for a bit of summer fun to replace the e30 cabby - thought I'd get insurance quotes for both UK and grey import Eunos ones to see what the difference would be, confused.com came up with a lowest of c.£250 for a uk car, and over £600 for a eunos! So I think it'll be a UK one when the time comes.

Oh, and jibes about what an MX-5 would say about my sexuality are accepted as inevitable!

[Tom316]

I think there decent cars for the money and so does the majority over at pistonheads. However I am also waiting for the inevitable comments lol

That was from someone like 'igo2' or something like that. It seems the 316 is quite cheap to insure generally even though its about 4 groups higher than my old fiesta.

I had a 323 when i was 19 and a 325 when i was 20, think it was about £400.
And a Renault 11 turbo when i was 17 cost £900.

The company i used when i was younger went bust, i wonder why?

[Tom316]

I know a few people who go through local brokers and get really cheap quotes....when it comes to renewal time though.

I was 20 when i took out the policy, first car and only been passed 2-3 months

Ask Rav335uk or leeparkes as they have done the M30 conversion, i want one as well

[Tom316]

I could never pay 3k on insurance.....well it depends what car it is really.

[ImysE30]

I wanted an E30, wanted a converible, wanted a 6 pot

[Tom316]

Fair play that man. Lumbered with a Fiesta 1.2 and £1650 insurance at 18 If I had known I could have got an E30 cheaper

[ImysE30]

I was quoted £1500 on a Honda Civic 1.4 (L reg), fook that

Sell it and get a E30?

[mr_dink]

This one was from Norwich Union a few years ago.

Now granted I'd just come off a ban, but was 23 years old getting a quote on a 1.1 Pug 106....

£6600 a year fully comp!

[Tom316]

I was quoted £1500 on a Honda Civic 1.4 (L reg), fook that

I went back to college and couldn't afford to insure it anyways, but I suppose thats a good thing because its sitting on my drive reminding me of how much I hated it and how much I want an E30. Roll on university, my excuse for needing a car.

A nice 316/318 won't be too much i reckon, much better car as well

[Leemc2009]

VW Passat 2.8 v6 4motion - £14k TPFT - age 17

I'm 21 now, paying £300 tpft to insure 325i touring auto

[Tom316]

Well I have budgeted 2.5k. And considering insurance is about £750 I have about £1750 to spend on a car. However I don't think I will need that much.

When I saw that £750 quote I almost fell backwards and through the patio doors.

[ImysE30]

Insurance can be suprising, sometimes it can be quite reasonable

I need to shop around again

[Tom316]

It was more than reasonable. Considering I have been looking at 1.2/1.4 hatchbacks and they were all between £1000-£1500. Never thought I could insure a E30 for less than any of the hatchbacks I was looking at. It was even cheaper than a 1 litre Ford Ka!

[ImysE30]

What's the name of the company?

[cirrusloon]

Jesus, where do you guys live? The Lebanon?

[Sawyer_E30]

I'm 23, and pay just under £600 TPFT. If I wanted to drop in a 3.5 M30 it would would cost an extra £100. This is through a broker.

Oh, and all mods are declared

[Tom316]

What's the name of the company?

With a company called 'Egg' iirc.

[lunatixantix]

I'm 24, have a 316 running twin choke weber, lowered etc, all mods declared, agreed value, guaranteed like for like courtesy car & breakdown cover, £326 for the year fully comp with only £100 excess

[Sawyer_E30]

E30's do start at Insurance group 12, so they won't be cheapy cheapy.

However as soon as you get a bit older or have a few years NCB, Insurance companies believe you are less of a risk and you can pretty much do what you like.

I've advised of each and every modification I've done, and every time they say "Thank you for updating us, there are no changes to premium nor conditions."

Renewal makes me smile when they read out the list of mods one by one and ask if they are still attached.

HIDs - Non standard Alloys - ICE.... Twin-turbo M70 conversion.. No wait that's not correct is it

[Tom316]

I'm 24, have a 316 running twin choke weber, lowered etc, all mods declared, agreed value, guaranteed like for like courtesy car & breakdown cover, £326 for the year fully comp with only £100 excess

Who is that with?

[schnaarf]

Mines £500 fully comp on a 325i touring. 22 & 1 years ncb and no mods.

I want to change companies so I can get it lowered as direct line wont do mods until 25.

Funnily enough if i do the same quote on line with the same car, insurer, address and ncb its £900

[Tom316]

I had the no mods until 25 problem with direct line.....it was cheaper to go with another company with the car modified than it was to go with direct line standard.

[schnaarf]

oh right, which company?
