Been of the scooby seen now few months to begin with i really missed it but couldnt buy as i lost my job,been back in work for about a month now and also have the money for a scooby but and its a big but,insurance and fuel iam just not sure its worth the trouble??i dont do many miles maybe 10 a day and paying around 1500 for insurance at the moment just seems a joke,iam currently driving a polo just due to well iam not sure really ive just been using that.currently just bought 1st house aswel

ideas?

 

Yes, first off, if you want sensible replies on here, learn to spell and punctuate properly

Second, DON'T jump into ownership again until your job is certain not to disappear again and your insurance is lower.

If you want something quick, go for something in the hot hatch diesel market, cheaper to run and insure.

 

my job is as secure as its going, i drive for a living in coaches but insurance companies are not bothered,may go down the mr2 route or something

 

Have you spoken to Gary (MoleyWRX ) on here?

 

Have you spoke to Gary at Keith Michaels insurance?

 

yep 1550 a year

 

Not worth it then. How old are you? How many years ncd?

Build up your ncd and get a bit older driving an Ibiza FR, or a Leon FR diesel, both fun to drive and bloody quick

 

25 2 years 3 years in nov so proberly just leave it,ive been driving 8 years only in last few years have i had my own policy,ive owned 7 scoobies in the past even on my own policy but now its just to much

 

Seems steep. Im 23 and had quotes for £750.

Old mx5? Supposed to be heaps of fun. Fancy one myself

 

how are you getting quotes for 750?

 

Just putting in my details really. 5 years driving and gonna have 6 years no claims.

Only a wrx not a sti

 

yeh ive only got 2 years ncb driving 8

 

£750, Hell thats cheap!!! im about to turn 23 and can't find quotes anywhere near that good for my wrx, even by putting it in my dads name whos in his 50s with no claims well over 10 years and me as second driver, it's sort of a joint car between us.

What companies that with mate???

 

Just using confused. Was with admiral. Jumps up to funny prices after that.

Didnt think i would be getting it insured this year as at one point it was coming back at almost 2k cheapest

iam with admiral and cant get anwhere near my best quote with moley 1550 admiral want 2750, f@@@@king joke insurance

 

I dont understand admiral myself sometimes. I had a clio 182 as a runaround not long ago and put it on my multicar policy. Cost me like £225 then when i came to take it off about 2 months later i got a refund of £187 which included a £25 cancelation fee so it cost around £20 for 2 months

 

Best quotes ive managed to get were with admiral but was around 1000 - 1100

 

it annoys me big time when i see these 50 odd year old blokes driving round in them,i no before anyone says yes its up to them what they drive but it seriously does my head in, id love another one but it isnt going to happen when admiral want nearly 3k a year

 

900 a year I'm 27 with 6years ncb That's with Halifax !

 

halifax wont quote me

 

Insurance is a joke!

What i don't get is how so many people get away with insuring there wrx's and sti's as sports or gl's, i mean i know my wrx doesn't say that on the logbook it just says subaru which could be any model but surely it's to big a risk for these people because surely there policy would be void if they had a bump and it turned out to be an sti..?

 

Yep, it'd be voided and they'd be taken to court to pay for any 3rd party costs.

Any time we get a quote for a GL model we look into it very closely

 

Thought they would be, good job too!!!

If people didn't do stupid things like that the decent folk amongst us wouldn't have to pay such high insurance prices.

 

The other thing screwing insurers over is 17/18 year olds buying online policies, but putting their date of births as 10 years older, to get cheap prices.

 

That's rediculous!!!

I'm currently trying to find a policy for just 6 months of the year as only want it as a summer weekend car shared between me and my dad but prices are over a grand for 12 months but can't seem to find anyone that will do a 6 month policy.

 

You'll struggle TBH

Better off getting an annual one, but with a company who'll cancel pro-rata, so you don't loose out financially

 

Yeah that's the other option, trouble is looking at the T&C's on the half decent quotes ive found online it seems if you cancel it halfway through you won't get a refund and will have to pay a cancellation fee..

 

Yep, you have to be careful.

 

I think im right in thinking you work for keith michaels insurance, if i were to insure through you would i be able to cancle after 6 months and get a refund on the remainder of the policy??
