[rikih]

hey ppl been offereda mint 2.0 16v nova gte. it is not registered as a 2.0, so what do i have to do and how much do you guys pay insurance for them??? also which companies are you with? thanks ::

[srs1]

straight simple answer on that is to phone around.

a couple that spring to mind are
hic
adrian flux
and i'm with the priveledge

but avoid lv as they dont cover engine conversions no more

mine isnt on the log book as a 2lt but it is insured as one. I'll pay the tax im supposed to when they do something constructive with it. Also im with adrian flux

I think we could do with an Insurance forum...

hmm, what would happen tho if you were pulled and the 50 were to look and see that it is not a 1.6? how much do you lot pay on the 2.0?

[Philsutton]

tell them its a 2lt, an its insured as one but you only just got it down so your log book is in the post

ok sounds good, are there any common problems to happen to valvers? thinking of the long run here too - how much do you pay for insurance phil?

[Philsutton]

i pay 1700 a year, when i was 19, an a few points

[rikih]

that is alot o money, i got 3 years no claims and am 21- ill have to shop about dont wana spend that much really?!
how much do therest ofyou pay?

I pay ?722 for my 2.0 16v Turbo :wink:

afaik HIC are getting a bit twitchy about young drivers in high powered cars, so even if they will insure you then don't expect it to be cheap!
