but shhh im trying to wind the locals up about wot i\'m getting as next fun toy

[SiCook]

...just been on the phone to AON - becuase my soon to arrive RX7 won\'t be garaged they\'re refusing to insure it....  I told them I\'m a member of the Mazdarotaryclub.com, didn\'t even get as far as telling them that I\'ve full no claims, etc....

When I pressed them it seems to keep their premiums down they only insure cars that are garaged.

Ho hum.

Next best quote is £950.... )c:

[scooby_si]

hope the neighbour i rent garage off doesn\'t grow too acustomed to the quiet mondeo post burbling scooby then

My RX7 is arriving in the UK around october time. Although I checked out insurnace before ordering I\'m shocked as to how my quotes have come in much higher than some on the ones posted on this site.

Aon wouldn\'t insure me as my car is over 10 years old (\'92) and will be used every day. (where\'s the fun in using it part time!)

Other qoutes range from £1900 with £350 excess to £1100 with £500 excess. I\'m 32, married professional engineer with 4 years no claims and keeping the car in a locked, alarmed garage. I do have 2 sp30\'s from 2000 as I live in northampton.

wots the general crack with trackers & their requirement &/or premium reduction on AON policies?

[SiCook]

Not sure for AON - they just told me they wouldn\'t insure my \'7, so off I popped to someone else.  It\'s a nightmare this insurance thing.

I\'ve looked at them in conjunction with other companies and while many of them say it makes no difference some of them say they\'ll check and get back to me.

I\'ve looked at two - one active and the other passive.  The active tracker is just that - if it decides the car has been stolen - it alerts the HQ - who phone you up and ask if you\'re driving.

The passive one needs you to phone the HQ up and tell them your car has been stolen - then they activate it - I much prefer the active version - but it\'s around £130 more expensive than the other.  I\'m sorely tempted to invest in one of them.

Cheers,
Si.

You might be better to fond a company that will not require a tracker unles you really want one fitted. I paid an extra £100 to go with a differant ins. company but saved approx £300 by not fitting the tracker.

[SiCook]

At the moment  I\'d agree with you.  I\'m on bread and water for the next few months so I can pay for the car.  I\'ve only managed to find one place who\'ll insure the car - 1996 RX7 Type RS (did I say that right?) - the VIN plate has Type RS "Special Edition" on it - not sure what that means - I\'m new to all this so...?  I assume it\'s a Type RS so I have to get the insurance company to insure it as such.  Many of them so far don\'t/can\'t/won\'t quote for a Type RS.

I need to save pennies just now so I\'ll reconsider the tracker when the insurance renewal is due.

Cheers,
Si.

Have you tried //www.elephant.co.uk ? Thats who I am with, only require a CAT2 (immobiliser) and the car is parked in the drive. im only 23 with 5y ncb. £1100 fully comp on a 94 Type-r, standard.

[scooby_si]

So those who can & have got AON insurance do they insist on a tracker or even if not duz it go down significantly still with one?

Got insurance for my RX after AON turned me down. Sureterm quoted me £950 with £300 excess but the car must have a tracker and cat 1 alarm!

I was always going to get a tracker fitted as I had a Rover 220 turbo Coupe stolen recently. It was stolen by someone who could only just reach the pedals and had no more imagination than to take it to a car park several miles away and do burn outs until the engine blew up.

The police didn\'t seem that interested and it seemed like too much hard work to actually find the criminal when handing out speeding tickets is a lot less hassle and brings in more revenue. I am now resigned to never knowing who trashed this car.

My view on trackers is that, with an active version, it might just make it easy enough for the police to be interested in catching the little bleeders in the car before they either run someone over or trash the engine. I might even get the car back in a reasonable condition. It\'s worth the money in my veiw even if it doesn\'t make the insurance cheeper.


Will promise to post lighter comments in future!

the flip side of that coin thou is a lot of people say they dont want their car back after sum punk has raped the arse off it!!!!
Personally it\'s purely an insurance issue although the more advanced ones do have nice bits like where u can see where for example a mechanic has been driving it while yer not around, but hey i\'m paranoid i never let anyone drive my fast cars without me there. The piece of shyte currently driving any feker can have
Oh well [gob shyte mode off;)]

Thats interesting Steve as I am with Elephant and they stated that "they do not insure imports", I pressed them a little further and when the chap took me off hold he said the same thing again. :confused:
