elephant quoted me today on the saxo vtr.... seriously i was nearly sick!! Anyway 'axa direct' fully comp is £2,995! A hell of lot of money but hey, it can be done

Barry123 · 22nd January 2007, 19:55

that is a HHHHUGE amount of money... wouldnt you prefer a crappy car for a year or so and help keep the premiums down for a couple of years? save a lot of dosh that way

BTW... really impressed with your site and the photography section

WOW you must live in a war zone for insurance prices like that.

did you get your quotes through money supermarket or similar,or just straight from the insurer?

conor · 22nd January 2007, 20:16

Yeah, elephant are cheap!!! Try yescarinsurance.co.uk see if they can help.

Have you got anybody who could insure it for you, and have you as a named driver?? Cos some policys recognise the named drivers now and you could still earn your no claims bonus. Just a thought anyway

How old are you?

How long have you been driving?

How many years N.C.B. do you have (if any)?

How many claims have you had within the last three years (if any)?

How many convictions have you had within the last five years (if any)?

£15k!?! WTF! There are a couple of young(ish) drivers insured on VTS's on Sax-p and they're only paying £1,500 (max.) so how can they justify another £13k on top if you're 17 (i.e. just passed your test)? I didn't think insurance companies would even give you a price. Thought they'd just tell you NO.

conor · 23rd January 2007, 20:20

Im 17 and just going for my test but i told the i have a full licence for 2 weeks. £3,000 full comp is my best offer

DevilDamo · 23rd January 2007, 21:29

Why do you want a VTR? Why not start off with a 1.1 and work your way up? A 1.4 would be better. I would never consider paying that sum of money on a 1.6 8v.

tom187 · 23rd January 2007, 21:29

definately use insurance supermarket its great!

piperX · 23rd January 2007, 21:38

fliipin heck guys, i thought £700 was a lot of money, im 23. how can you guys afford to pay that much? i was quoted £900 for fully comp insurance for a toyota celica gt4 2.0 turbo the other day and i thought that was expensive. age is a good thing i guess.

DevilDamo · 23rd January 2007, 21:41

I'm paying around £1,400 on my VTS at the mo. I can't wait until it drops down to £400 come my renewal in June

paul_vtr666 · 23rd January 2007, 21:54

That is a scandalous amount of money to pay for insurance. But hey thats N.I. for you!! Insurers nightmare!!

Jacks_Black_Sax · 23rd January 2007, 23:35

start low... 1.1 it up a notch

Richie2104VTR · 23rd January 2007, 23:41

I pay around £1700 fully comp with bell! Was gonna cost well over £2k but added my mam to the policy and went down loads for some reason, might wanna give that a go to save some money!!
