I just done the quote online for Tesco (not using my full details that depresses me).

It certianly does say import (Tesco must want new business, this seems to come and go as they please).  It also says 2303 or whatever it was.  From my experience of getting insurance last time (about 5 hours on the phone) it does seem that a lot of insurance companys have this down as the CC for the third gen.  

I hate this whole CC business, its really annoying.  Especially if you get stopped by the police and its all over the place on different documents.

The problem is them not knowing their arse from their elbow and having wrong details for import cars :0

The problem may come up after an incident and you claiming, then the insurance company saying this is not the correct type of car, your not covered.

Best to be sure.

[nickg123]

The exact descriptions are:

RX7 (92 on), 2354cc, 2dr
RX7 (IMPORT) TYPE RS, 2354CC, 2DR
RX7 (IMPORT) TYPE RB, 2354CC, 2DR
RX7 (IMPORT) TYPE R, 2354CC, 2 DR

Made up ones LOL

I don\'t know where the 2354cc comes from but at the end of the day your registration document will either say 2.6 or 1.3

your insurance has to match that i would think

(although mine doesen\'t cos its taxed as a 1.3)

I don\'t have an RX7 yet - this is why i\'m getting quotes first

I\'m worried that i can\'t insure one now......  i was well happy at £1460!

[Davegtt]

Nick, just ring them up again with your quote ref, check the CC and if its wrong get them to change it, I\'m sure the quote won\'t go up too much.

I recon thats an FD quote.  Just that Tescos dont list the CC correctly.

Lee

[davefrith]

try elephant etc and get some other quotes with the correct cc stated, then you\'ll know mate

Interestingly i am just about to go wth tesco, and they never asked me the cc just the plate, year and the model

at the end of the day if you give them this info and they have the cc incorrect thats their problem and theres sod all they could do to get out of a claim so don\'t worry about it

Dave

[nickg123]

Yeah that\'s a good point - i just don\'t like giving insurance companies any sort of chance to get out of a claim......  you know what they\'re like!!!

I don\'t see what other car they can be talking about - it must be the FD?

[iaint]

Just had a bash on the Tesco site... put in my reg no. and got a quote for £720 fully comp.  Then noticed that it was for a 1986-1990 car!!!  Didn\'t know they made FDs back then!

Always check, double check and then check again as the insurance company will use ANY loophole to avoid paying at least your part of any claim (i.e. repair to your car) if they can.

My V5 doc says the CC is 2354 - I\'m insured with Sureterm. About £1200 FC, I\'m 21, 2 NCB - no points

But this is limited to 6000 miles a year and also not my main car

[davefrith]

why the hell do you have to come along and complcate things mate ?

get back in your box
