Nice, mine was 100 notes less.

Other insurers advertising on here need to take note, your prices where obscene!

Look on the bright side, the washing machine, theoretically, was half price thanks to Patrick

Glad you were satisfied, but i found that keith michaels was totally disinterested in my quote and when i eventually got hold of him my quote etc. was excessive to say the least.

WTF, why is mine so expensive??!

Its a conspiracy. Some might blame the South London postcode, but we tried it at moms cheshire post code and it was more expensive.

Moley aka Patrick, do some of this god shizzle

From another thread re. 'Women Drivers'.

Thank goodness the EU stepped in.

Equality now means MEN'S car insurance can go down because women have to pay the same.

There was never any race, class, creed or sexual orientation inequality was there???????????

(Roll on May, when I grizzle that mine's gone up despite no claims......bound to come back and haunt me, this.............)

We have a Patrick aswell who does the occasional Subaru, so was probably him.

Some of the main factors the effect the price are age, postcode and mileage.

Apologies for mixing you up

So its post code, all £4-500 more for either living in Cheshire or South London. I love the dark art of insurance.

I reckon Im still blacklisted as a terrorist though, all because I went to a fancy dress party once dressed as a suicide bomber.

They are all con artists anyway, so i go for the cheapest as the levels of service are usually ****e no matter who you are with in the event of a claim.

A good area for what? It isn't just about crime but also accidents rates.

I consider anything under £500 to be good for an Impreza Turbo.

Christ, they are top band car and offer a serious bit of poke. They are also easy to steal (apparently) so it ticks all the wrong boxes for a cheap policy.
