Advice for insuring as everyday car

[notf1ack]

Can anyone give me any advice on a good company to approach for insurance on a 1994 Type R RX7?

I\'m in the process of getting one but when I\'ve tried to contact insurance companies they\'ve told me that they couldn\'t insure me to do more than 5,000 a year and then only if it\'s a second car.  Not much good when going to and from work will probably be about 15,000.  I don\'t really want to keep my current car once I\'ve got the new one

I\'ve had the same story from AON and Sureterm which seem to be some of the main ones mentioned on here.  Flux don\'t seem to want to talk to me so I don\'t know about them...

Surely it\'s not that hard to find somebody who\'ll cover me?  I\'m 25 with 7 years NC. I just want to be able to drive my new car

Tesco have been giving good quotes out recently.  On the plus side you can get a quote online, to save having to talk to someone

Thanks, probably have to do some more research though before I use them because I got stuck on their quote thing when it asked about a tracker.  Don\'t have a clue on what the differences are between all of the different ones and I don\'t think it\'s got one at the moment.  Unfortunately it wouldn\'t let me do a quote without one

They are all the same.  Just make one up to get a quote so you know if its reasonable, and if it is then you can budget for the tracker.

Thanks

They came back with about £950.  Does that sound reasonable?  I guess it\'s about what I was expecting but it would be nice to get it lower.

Wishful thinking I expect.  Still got a few weeks at least to sort it

Budget on around £600 to £1000 for a tracker system, and remeber that tesco online quote system is ONLY quoting on a completely standard car.

There have been some reports on these pages that quotes have doubled, trebled ( one as much a 5x) once all mods are declared.

something to bear in mind.

They can be surprisingly difficult at times, but they made me a good deal, so I\'m insuring with them. I did the whole thing via E-mail, they always responded next day, very helpful. It might help, I suppose, that I already had a car insured with them. Give them another try though, especially if you\'ve got any mods. You lose nothing but a few minutes of your time if you send an E-mail

Are you guys sure tesco are not quoting you on a uk car?

Double check to make sure:confused:

Dont want a long one if you have a knock!!!

I insured with Tesco today actually, I had been through the quote a few days ago and it came out at £1436.00

However today when ringing them back it seems the guy who quoted me originally didn\'t put the non-standard exhaust system on there so it went up to £1540.00

Was not too impressed but went with them anyway, decent quote !
