Questions Reguard Insuraing a Rex

[leon]

Hi guys looking at buying a rex got a nice black one spotted - (not telling!) the car itself seems sweet as a nut sadly wont beable to get a compression test done so its a little gamble. recently imported from jappan.

what im wondering is:
When getitng the insurance quote how do i describe it the experian says its a 1.3 litre! wich i think is wrong arnt they 2.6 (1.3 per rotor).

I Told the guy the following: Its a 94 Rx-7 2.6litre twin turbo its described as a coupe in black the guy came back with information as well as suplying the veh\'s registration. is this enough infomration for them to guarantee the thing is correct as i was quote £54 extra on my current insurance to change over to it! :rollin

Cheers

Edit- also Mentioned that it was non modified and confmed that it is an import "twin turbo"

[fletch_]

some insurance companies dont know what theyre on about!
 
i used to have an R32 gts-t with the RB20 engine......according to elephant.co.uk it dosent exist and theres no such car:D
 
im with sky,when i called up i said "its a 1.3 twin rotary"...........
 
nice try, they told me "its the 2.6 twin turbo" i couldnt exactly say no could i!
 
depends who u go with

Ahah!, yeah i know that feeling ive got the feeling just by looking at the online forms for insurance that the Rx7 isnt a well known thing for insurerrs and Skys a good idea! i should get a discount with being a mr2oc member *thinks*

[peterwolds]

try A plan they understand RX\'s

i got discount for being a member of sxoc:D
 
sky were really good, declared mods, 24 with 9 points and 3 years ncd £1241 comp!
 
only people who were close were ady flux

[leon]

i Would NEVER go with flux again (unless they came up with an outstanding offer) i had an issue last time wich basicaly ment i was out of 1.5k money for 2 months while they faffed around refunding me. but yeah ill give Aplan a try tonight after i have a good read of the cars docs etc to see if i like the looks of her. - Just gotta make sure its with the mind and not the heart this decision

But seriously is there anything else i need to make sure i mention to make sure i get a correct qote?

[fletch_]

alarm!
 
i think sky insisted that i had to have one otherwise they wouldnt insure me,
 
apart from that, just the usual. good luck

[leon]

Thank you  and the company i got the quote of erlyer today was infact elephant they were the cheepest for my mr2.

[leon]

Well guys i gotta say i was impresed! - first quote was 1185 (fully Comp) witha  Â£500 excess with noel. they knew the stuff on the car struight away.

How old are you mate??
As I\'m 27 with basicaly the same car, & choice quote got it down to around £500 fully comp for me when I enquired a month or so back..... going to be renewing my policy with them at the end of the month!!

Im 22 with 2 years nbc - no faults etc, so i think thats quite reasonable.

i got avery good deal from lee at a plan on my rx which has single turbo

[leon]

Im pleased with the quote happy in the knowledge it will go down later in the year - but the quote its self is good considering i was paying more than that on a N/A a few years ago - that said i dont seem to keep cars long enough before wanting more to reep the rewards! maybe this time..... :2Rolleyes
