Parabuteos lad 878 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 anyone know of somewhere willing to give me a decent quote? 17 year old, passed today and theyre all over £10,000. i've got a 1.2 corsa. Also, heard classic car insurance can be alot cheaper, so does anyone have experience with this and say, a land rover defender? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticJock 539 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Mate, £10000 is a joke. My first car that I insured was £1200 and that was when I was 17. Try Adrian flux, and go on moneysupermarket and go compare Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 10k......ffs!! I honestly dont know how you hold your tongue on the phone. How can any company ask for 10k for a years insurance....i'd loose the plot on the phone... What year of car is that you want to insure and what price?... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have an expensive car so you would expect to pay lots. Not that much of course. Better of getting yourself something older. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticJock 539 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 When I was 21 I had a BMW 730 sport auto for £3300 a year... And that was with 3 points and no no claims Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Parabuteos lad 878 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 seriously, i've no convictions or anything like that. apparently they wont do third party fire and theft as the cars worth more than £6000. Apparently my insurance will go down when im 21, any time before that they quote high :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 My son has an old Corsa. Couldn't get him insured at all when he was 17, not even as a named driver on the wife's car. Once he turned 18, the insurance went down to a "very reasonable" £1700. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
