Title: Car Insurance
Post by: Chubbs on Thursday, May 17, 2007, 14:31:16
Its that time of year comming up when the dreaded re-newal letters start comming through, i need to renew my car insurance

At the moment im with tescos who have been pretty good.
I drive a 1.8 XS Pug 306 and have 4 years NC, they have quoted me £370 which im quite chuffed with, but i want it cheaper, any recomendations to some lesser known insurers?

www.thisismoney.co.uk seems to pick up loads of obscure comapnies I have never heard of, might be worth using the search engine and getting a handle of the market.

I'm going to be paying £28 a month for my potential new motor, should i manage to secure it's purchase tonight... that's Direct Line and it's ludicrously cheap. If i stay with my current motor, Direct Line will insure it for almost half the price of what my renewal quote is!

Mine is about £900 per year but I don't have any excess. Just did a quote as if I was still living in the UK and it was less than £600 for no excess with elephant. Still I wouldn't have been able to buy my motor for £11k in the UK so every cloud!

Not quite, the 3.2 V6 Quattro s-line. As quick as the S3 I believe.

Yes as quick as the old S3.

The new one is abit tasty though, 2.0 litre Turbo with 265 bhp.

0-60 in 5.7  :twisted:

Bloody hell, mine has 260 bhp from a V6! 0-60 in about 6.4.

That will probably be my next car to be honest!

I've test driven it and it's like an over priced Golf GTi. Very nice inside though.

I'm looking at Honda S2000's next  :twisted:

It looks much nicer than the golf and living in Europe they are cheaper to buy than in the UK anyway. May pencil myself in for one on 2010! :twisted:

S2000's are lovely. Winner of the Top Gear survey 2 years in a row.
