Hope someone can help me out here:

I've just renewed my insurance with Eagle Start Direct (795) ok not the cheapest - but did only have a 100 pound xs. For my MY99 with PPP BB and TSL GrpN+ brakes (at no xtra cost!)

When I asked how much it would be for a MY02 WRX they tell me it would be 130 pounds cheaper !!!

Why would this be ?

Help - I fear I may need to take them up on this !

Its a mistake !!

New car = no age of car discount
Bug-eye Scoob = Group 19 (2 groups higher than 'Classic').

Check with them - its amazing how often insurers seem to quote
on a 2.0 GX AWD by mistake..

Unless they have heavily loaded your premium due to the minor mods you have on the MY99, I would expect an increase in premium of at least £100.

Hope this helps..

It may be because they know that the new ones are slower with improved handling (allegedly) therefore they should fall off the road less!

Tell me no - I've only driven one once and I do recall the turbo wasnt really brutal ...

Oh no..

No chance.....I work for Zurich (Eagle Star) and I get 40% discount. The requested premium for my MY01 was £1400. I didn't bother asking for the STI, as that's group 20!! Unless of course you are 60 years old and only do 1000 miles per year

Edited to say - Full NCB over 30, married etc etc

Matt,

I called ESD and they told me they didnt even group a 2002 WRX !!!

And then when they looked into it wanted - get this - an extra 360 quid and a tracker ! LOL !

They won't quote over grp 18, as a staff case I asked them to do me a special.

Just got my MY02 insured through Elephant.co.uk for £690 with a £250 XS, protected NCD and wife as named driver....not bad I thought.
