Me and my mate have just rebuilt his escort cossie from a bare shell. And he's now in the process of running it in..

For a laugh i thought i'd do an insurance quote on it to see how bad the companies would want to basically steal from me..

Now, I'm 23, and i had an accident around 3 years ago, worth £1400.. which i obviously declare..

As a comparison, i now drive a regular 1.6 16v mk4 golf, which costs 650 fully comp a year, with 2 years NCB.. (alot i know)

Now for all intents and purposes, i said the car was valued at £17k.

Best quote, TPFT..

£1800!

To me, thats bloody cheap?

Especially as i know a guy of 19 who pays over 3 grand for a fiesta turbo

Does this sound right to you guys?

 

that bull as u cant get tpft on cars at that value 17k i could be wrong

 

i was paying 800 fully comp on an escort cossie when i was 24 with 4 years ncb

 

this was with confused.com, alot came up with "cannot offer quote on a car of that value on TPFT" ect, but a few did quote.

 

why is it bull ???

depends on the company , what milage per year , wether its classic car status, what excess is on the policy ,


beef

 

not bad at all^^

 

It's not the 'norm' is all i'll say but it depends on the insurance company

Not a bad quote at all!

 

i'm now paying 400 on a integra type-r and 600 on a vx220 turbo which is good imo

 

the mileage was 12k per year and the voulantery excess would have been about 300ish, can't be bothered to load it up again to double check.

 

mies agreed at 6 k tpf&t although i must say its very strange for it to be agreed at 17k on tpf&t

 

i have to say i was extremely suprised, i thought the accident i had would have done a lot, and the fact that its a group 20..

 

i alway thought if the car was value over 5 grand u couldnt get tpft but like i said i could be wrong

 

alot of companies wouldn't supply a quote based on that^^

but i think i got 5 quotes all around 18-2200.

 

think thats used to be the way georgie

but with less old cars on the road and the average pices of used cars being up , i htink the insurance companies will sway more on the 5 k limit ,

like valcar said its predomantly on the milage and excess

 

well good quote

 

Is it on a genuine Cosworth log book?

 

yeah.

 

Do well, thats a good quote then
