Never paid more than £650 for my insurance - first year was a named driver on mum's car (Volvo 440 1.8 Si) and had my Kawasaki ZZ-R motorbike for daily commuting so managed to get the mileage on the car right down.
Second year was named driver again, £400, on a Citroen Xantia 1.9 Td.
Third year started my own insurance with Bell, mum as second driver, £650 or so TPFT on a 205 STDT (fantastic car, would still have it if the engine hadn't eaten itsself at 175k miles!)
Fourth year, Bell came down to £500 or so still on the 205 still TPFT
Last year Bell were at the £400 mark, again TPFT on the 205 and then an Escort TDDI Estate as it's temporary replacement.
Now I have a quote for me and the girlfriend on a 1.9JTD 115 '04 Stilo, Fully comp, living in a pretty dire area, no excess and all the extras £440..... totally astounded!
Time shows guys, insurance is killer but once you get past that first year NCB it generally cuts by 50%. Sadly we have to pay for the retards who drive out on the first evening and bend their brand new Saxo/Fiesta around a tree!!
Yellow :woot:
