[vestysnova]

Can anyone advise me on car insurance ive had my nova 4 about 8 months doing it up and its ready 4 the road. (looks sh*t hot) i am 18 and some insurance companies have quoted me like ?2000 tpft.
Would be grateful 4 replies....

then phone them to see if you can get a better quote than they give you online.?

[onephatnova]

yeah just get the yellow pages out and phone as many as poss, including the usual suspects (liverpool victoria, CIS, adrian flux, etc.).

also try playing them off each other... some of 'em say they'll match or beat other quotes, but then when you tell em a better quote from another company they say "ooh no, actually we cant..."

[Tazzy]

adrian flux are starting to take the p!ss, i was quoted loads! and some wouldnt even give me a quote!

[Dave]

i'm with cis they gave me the best quote by far

other good ones are admiral or tesco

[Will]

wot nova is it ur trying to insure, SR? SRI?

[Fester]

flux were the only people that would insure me 19 on a GTE

[RobIsGrt18]

yeh i think u have to be 19 or over to get insured with flux?? thats who i'll be going with, got a wicked quote for a SRi :D

[dids25]

best insurance company by far is liverpool victoria. i was quoted ?3,952 on a one litre from prestige but the rung liverpool vic and they said ?952 comprehensive with no other drivers . big difference.

?2000 TPFT isn't uncommon for me.

Move to the country
Put a CAT 1 Alarm/Imob on it
Lock it in a Garage
Limit the miles

I've just sold my modded 1400sr, had Twin 40s, cam, 4 branch manifold, s/s exhaust, alloys, lowered/uprated suspensionetc etc. The guy who brought it was 17 and insured it fully comp with all mods declared for ?1052 I think. I didin't think that was bad at all considering his age and the mods. He went with Norwich Union.

Im with liverpool vic n im payin 1029 on a 1.4 sr j reg, 18yr old, 1st car and its fully comp. pretty cheap i thought

[Chris LR]

Thats not bad, where exactly do you live and whats the excess?

[Messer 1.4 SR]

I live near Bury and my excess is 450

[Chris LR]

?450, no wonder it's cheap.

That MUST have been under his parents name surely :!:

I am with CIA, they gave me the second best quote of ?1300. Trident gave me the best quote of ?1250 then when i phoned to go for it, they said ?1290.
I went with CIA as their staff are friendly and really helpful, and trident didnt seem very professional to me.
So its ?1300 TPF& T on my nova GTE, 16" alloys, some cosmetics, delocked, standard engine, s/s exhaust. and a cat 1 alarm/immobilser.
Ohh i also have 3 penalty points for speeding, and two claims. one of them being my fault. and i have zero no claims.

CIS ran screaming when i mentioned GTE to them :roll:
