Three years , or more?, with the same insurer ! That must be a record ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Mc Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 It is yes. I'm happy with it and can't see it being beaten by much. I'm registering onto their driving less money back scheme. Honda has gone from 12k miles down to 5k now the vw is taking up the slack. Insurance has it down as 8k. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member PaulS Posted June 29, 2022 Founding Member Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 Coupe insurance renewal came today - £298.87. Last year it was £283 so up £15. Strangely my Merc E350 is only £268.92, down from £333.86 so down by £55! Weird but pleasing... Both with Saga and fixed for 3 years if I want it.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both on insurer change though....whereas the TVR renewal is 10 quid less than last year ...I think they just make it up as they go along... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically unlimited but with a target mileage of %k (did only 2k last year!) But it is a Manchester postcode. That said why is my coupe dearer than my Merc E350 which is newer, worth more, and still in Manchester? Who knows - certianly not Sage - I asked them! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only pay £170. But it is a slight worry if I wrote the thing off and only got market value. Maybe time for agreed value classic insurance. At the moment though, it's got business use on it, so classic might be difficult. By the way, how is the transmission behaving now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical insurance broker 🤨😑 Having same trouble with Churchill on another policy....and LV have just quoted 171....but they are so difficult to get straight answers out of .... Apparently Direct Line have turned into a nightmare as well, according to a mate who is claiming at moment for a non fault !!!!!! Are there any good ones anymore ???...anyone using Classic line, they used to insure my TVR and were very easy to talk too...also Footman James is easy to talk to but claiming seems to be something alien.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, you want to be able to claim on your insurance policy? Don't be silly! Joking aside, i've heard a few horror stories over the years with cheaper insurers where it's been made difficult to make a claim and/or get it settled without having to pay for this, that and everything else. Always worth a bit of research! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted February 8, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Well, that's a problem. Performance Direct are telling me the car is worth £320.....and my excess is ....£320.. !!!!!! First off, I can't find any car for 320 quid with a full mot and no work required with less than a 100k miles !!!! ( Performance Direct, part of Grove and Dean based in Essex..bet you can't find a car for 320 there either !! ) Secondly, if it's written off, deduct the 320 excess off the 320 valuation then I get nothing??!!!!!! Perhaps they missed a digit out,,,£1320 value ?? What if I "buy" it back....Will it be "free" !!!! Still, the bonus is, unlimited miles on the policy 🤣🤣🤣 .....so a car " valued at £320" is good for unlimited miles.. U r avin a larf !!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted February 8, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Got a good quote from esure, £165 , car value 1300, excess 200, including legal. Plus, if bought off confused, a 20 quid Halfrauds voucher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted February 10, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Result today, insurance down to £122, for the Coupe, valuation up to £1320, excess down to 300...including legal, no recovery. Worth the telephone calls but I have now lost the will to look any further....why do insurance companies make it so difficult 😡😡😡😡 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a conversation with Performance Direct again, their customer service guy was really helpful and agreed the valuation was incorrect....re jigged the value and the excess and it came down four quid from the original quote !!!! If I ever have to claim from them who knows what will happen but as most companies seem to be "difficult" when it comes to paying out..... Still waiting for my excess recovery payment on the Elysion....from Churchill...😜, only 16 months since the accident that was NOT MY FAULT, what's the problem ?? 😕 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear they take great delight in making life difficult so that people take the view "If i'm having this difficulty with a broker/insurer/underwriter that knows me and i them, what sort of difficulties would i encounter with a new one???". Sort of reverse psychology, if you think it's hard with us, wait until you go somewhere else as it were. These days it seems like many other companies/institutions are playing the same game. I won't write the full list as i'd get bored typing it all, never mind making a boring list to read but it seems like almost every place i have to contact for anything makes life difficult. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
