Question Best insurer fot imports

Hi my insurance is up for renewal at end of month i am with admiral at moment and want to look around and was wondering who is the best insurer for Japanese imports - its so anoying when you spend a while filling in forms for them at the end to say they dont insure imports - just wondered if anyone knew a good one

Cheers weis

I'm with Bell direct, part of the Admiral Group, a JDM WRX is only £60 a year more than a standard UK model. As for getting an english one and then modding it to Jap power, you would spend a fortune on the work, then declaring the mods, not to mention the massive price difference in similar age and mileage english vs jap. Buying a JDM i saved about £2000 over a similar english one and i already have the power so say £1000 to reliably bring the english one to similar spec and thats £3000 saved, £60 spent. No contest really.

I'm going through the insurance search at the moment for a JDM STI, best so far is Warwick Davis without tracker or Priviledge with tracker.

For me....

Tesco - nope, need tracker
Privilege - nope, need tracker
Adrian Flux - nope, 2 claims in 3 years
Insurance4u - yes, £827.00 with £450 excess fully comp protected ncb.

That's 200 more than LV for this year Lets hope LV come back with a good renewal.
