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 :chin:

Sounds a good plan

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

 

[Bushboy]

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

 

[Vickster]

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

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

Is your coupe actually insured though

 

[sammiboo]

H doesnt want me to get another coupe

Still cant decide on what car to have next. It will either be a branny or a sports of some kind. Still want a coupe though

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.

Someone told me they (insurance companies) had binned that 20 point scale as it just wasn't working anymore... cars are getting silly expensive and bhp is going nuts too...

they use something with about 50 points on it now... so 20 is no longer the top as regular joe insurance wants a piece of that super car action too... and doing that for the same price as a coupe 20v turbo just didn't add up.
