[comptoncj]

[General Baxter]

its all bollox anyway, they go off the crime rate and nickabilty

[Balley]

Ok 1.6 is group 11, sorry mark!

[Spudly]

Its all a load of bollox as they have changed the grouping system anyways, according to the guy i spoke to not long ago @ sky, as my vectra V6 SRi estate was a group 30 :eek:

[vauxluva]

My insurer told me my mk1 1.4 sr is cat 5.

[General Baxter]

i dont go via groups, just phone them up and see if its worth paying lol

[welsh-nova]

how much would it be if i get a 1.0 nova and put a redtop in that has anyone insured there nova as a redtop this year as a 1st car ??

[General Baxter]

they will tell you to F off lol

[welsh-nova]

yeah but they might actually insure me on that than my corsa now like i got a 1.6 16v corsa sport and been quoted 6k to insure it when i pass my test so it might be better on a nova redtop ??

[General Baxter]

yeah untill the first ditch

well i insured one when i was 18, with L plates on
that was £5k 5years ago, so i be your looking £12k now or something daft lol

first car = 993cc

[Pistol Pete]

lol how do arrive at that conclusion??!!

[welsh-nova]

lol how do arrive at that conclusion??!!what you mean ??

[General Baxter]

how can a 1.6 corsa, be dearer to insure then a 2L nova lol

[Pistol Pete]

You say you have been quoted £6k for a 1.6 16v Corsa (standard engine for that car). Yet you think a Nova XE (modified car) will be cheaper????

[welsh-nova]

insurance group 10 and mainly because it says sport in it like my mate had a 1.4 corsa sport and insurance group 6 or 7 and it was like 500 odd more than his mg zr and thats insurance group 9

[General Baxter]

yes but a 2L nova is over group 18 lol

im running a 2.8 e36 bmw and its cheaper to insure then my old 5 door xe

[welsh-nova]

thats the thing i dont know yet

[Pistol Pete]

But a Nova with an XE in it is classed as modified so insurance groups are pretty much irrelevant.


thats the thing i dont know yet

It wont be.

[welsh-nova]

but my corsa wasnt classed as modified when it was but i dont need to insure it my bro is on his trade insurance

[Pistol Pete]

But this wont cover you?? Jeez, rather than asking here pick up the phone. They will tell you the score.

Yeah. They've now made it 1-50 instead of 1-20 (not sure why), and swapped most of the old cars across; the theory is though that the new groups are equivalent - so a group 20 car on the old scale would be around about a 50 on the new one. An old group 10, would be around 25... etc.

Anyway, for reference, insurance groups can be found here (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122840&highlight=insurance).

[Mattman]

Yeah. They've now made it 1-50

Actually goes up to group 70 now

[paddy quinn]

Group 3 for a 1.0 and 1.2
Group 5 for a 1.3 and 1.5
Group 6 for a 1.4 and 1.5td
Group 8 for a 1.6 I think!!
group 6 wat price wud tht be for a 19 year old coz they tryin to charge me 7 grand for my nova td

[Jack]

Yeah. They've now made it 1-50

Hmm, ABI still only lists 1-20 and 1-50 (Jan 2010 onwards are 1-50 only)... no mention of up to 70

[Mattman]

19 year old on a Nova TD......£7k sounds about right to me given the lack of information provided. Seriously do you expect people just to pick a price out of the air? Phone many many many many insurers and you will get it cheaper I am sure, the one quoting you at £7k obviously sees you as a high risk and doesn't really want the business if they are quoting that high!!!!

Sorry if that sounded cheeky but this isn't an insurance comparison website and no one can advise you what the correct premium for your risk is!!!

[Mattman]

strange, i only say that as I am in the industry and our group rating definately goes up to 70 (eg Aston Martin DB9 and the like)

[Stuart]

Some insurers now have their own scales... some 1-100 some 1-70 some 1-50 and some on the old system.

Its because there were too many cars hitting upto group 20 and screwing things up, eg how the hell is something like a vx220 similar in scaryness to a lambo etc.

imho/experience the groupings dont really matter anyway as 90% of the quote will come from risk of driver age group/gender/experience/area/crime stats etc.... the actual vehicle spec will have next to feck all to do with it in most cases.

eg it appears that no matter what I want to buy at the moment the insurance is fixed at £450ish.... VERY irritating as it should be less but meh

[Bubba]

yes but a 2L nova is over group 18 lol

im running a 2.8 e36 bmw and its cheaper to insure then my old 5 door xe

who the hell would steal a more door....oh wait :cry:
