Sickening isnt it!

Bored at work so randomly getting insurance quotes for different cars.

I have just got a quote for a coupe 20vt for £500 fully comp etc...

Now when i had my coupe fully comp cover was 2k and its been less than two years since I had my coupe. Last year was £700....

Maybe another coupe could be a contender again for my next car

Re: Sickening isnt it!

20vts, especially a Plus, are bizarrely expensive or me to insure..more than much more valuable cars such as Merc SLK 320, a Z3M roadster, a Boxster I guess it's because fccukers keep writing them off

Re: Sickening isnt it!

No, its because the plus versions are actually Group 20 insurance.. which is the highest there is...

Re: Sickening isnt it!

So is the Z3M But value of car also plays a role surely on an FC policy - coupe plus 6k, Z3M 12k ...

Re: Sickening isnt it!

20VT's are really cheap to insure compared to like-for-like performance cars. as a guide for me to insure the following, fully comp: (all standard)

20VT - £600
M3 - £2,000
Impreza - £1,500
Integrale - £1,100

However my mods bump up the premium £300

Re: Sickening isnt it!

Perhaps it's because the average Coupe accident is front end shunt, need new bonnet, can't get a new bonnet, or if you can the cost involved means it's cheaper to write it off.
