Thinking of selling!! by bigscarydeathfish on Tue Jul 29, 2008 2:16 pm
Hi all,

Haven't been on for a while as after all the work I have done on the fronty I have never used it because the insurance is far to expensive (in excess of £550 third party!). It was only ever supposed to be a cheap 3rd vehicle but I just cannot justify spending that amount of money on insurance.

She has just flown through her MOT and is lovely to drive.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can reduce the insurance costs, if not then she is for sale if anyone is interested.

Stupid question, have you tried Chris Knott or Adrian Flux for your insurance?

Yipes!

Admiral Multicar?

Oh, and is there someone else you can put on the insurance? I know that by putting me on my other half's insurance, it brings her cost down by about £100

I don't think I am going to be left with much of a choice, will have to sell her and buy a classic Land Rover!

Remember that quite often the comparison websites won't give you as good a deal as going direct to the insurer (they have to make their money somewhere). I know that in the past I have seen wildly different prices from the comparison website to going direct :lol:

Hi,
Have you tried Noel Dazely?
I got a renewal cost of £480 for the wifes sport and tried Noel dazely, they cut the premium to £178, Fully Comp.
I also got a quote for my "toy" which came in at £138 TPFT, this is declaring all the modifications, covers me for offroading and greenlaning......... and that is all with nine points on my license.

I guess they gotta be worth a try if you haven't already, i got there number form this site in the recommended suppliers area.

Hope this helps
Dan.

Try Direct Line mate, and they pride themselves for not being on any comparison sites.
You can get a quote online.
