conor · 10th February 2007, 10:59

Been on the phone all morning, seriously im p'd off

willsy · 10th February 2007, 11:05

What the...

You are insuring a VTR arent you? How can you possibly have a quote over £3,000 id say even that would be a maximum for someone if they were 17 and just passed or something.

ets2k9 · 10th February 2007, 11:06

What can you do though?

1)Sell the car
2) Pay 9 million pound a year
3) dont bother with insurance your the lucky type it'll be ok

OR

4) keep trying......

no mods on car, no claims bonus on my mums, no fines eg... starting of clean. TP only quinn £2,550!

antonio · 10th February 2007, 14:15

you just passed havent you?? thats crap man! i remember when you wer talkin about how cheap it was on a vtr for you. what was your mistake that made it £1400??? to be honest my insurance on the 1.0 is in the region of £1600 so anout £3000 grand sounds about right since the engine is much bigger.

2 options.
1. get the car regestered in your dads name then be a named driver could get you down in price but you wouldnt get your nc bonus (you would if you went with direct line tho)
2 sell it and get a smaller car. does sound bad but thats why i didnt get a vtr, insurance would kill me

conor · 10th February 2007, 14:17

Thats me under my mums name and she was under my dads so she doesnt have any ncb. I really dont know what to do! Im in a really shitty situation. So far quinn in the cheapest at £2,500

ets2k9 · 10th February 2007, 14:17

The vtr is only group 7 3k sounds like rape to me!!!!

antonio · 10th February 2007, 14:24

get under your dads name. if your mom doesnt have any nc bonus then there is no point going under her.

do you know it was exactly £12380, yes £12k to insure me as a "named" driver on my mums 2.0 tdi passat. now thats rape lol
the cars only worth 2k

Sean · 10th February 2007, 14:24

Insurance is ridiculous in Northern Ireland, although most people get quotes before buying the car?

Hmm, the ncb wouldn't come into it if he was to make a new policy thing....i don't think you can use your mums/dads ncb providing they are insured for their own car?

oh yeah, your dad would have to only be insured on that car and that car only cos you cant use your nc on two cars. thanks for straighting that out clone, my mistake.

looks like your not going to get anything under £2k dude. its a beautiful car tho like the colour!
