Insurance for under 25\'s, import, with modifications

[Wav]

Nothing as far as i am aware. Nottingham maybe? but it is garaged???:confused:

Cheers, Paul:)

hmm don\'t know then, Tesco seems to provide cover to a lot of people, supposed to be good with performance and younger drivers. , dunno what Nottinghams like but I\'d expect to pay about £1700 without taking into account location

Well they no longer do under 25\'s on import rx-7\'s and she says they have recently changed this policy. Out of 99, 99 being the highest rating car to insure and 1 being the cheapest, the type-r is 91:eek: and even if i was over 25 it would require a tracking device:rolleyes:

So nope tescos is a big NO NO:(

Paul (going off to cry in a corner) :reallymad

Hi mate

I was insured less than 2 months ago on a import RX-7 with no problems at all with Tesco

So they must have changed it VERY recently, which is a shame

Unlucky, you\'ll have to keep ringing round

Elephant might be worth ringing, I was with them for a year for a good price on an import, it was just the renewal that sent me packing (almost double), but as you\'ll be 25 by next renewal your worries should be behind you!

I dont *think* they load the policy to a huge amount for imports like some insurers, prob expect 20-30% ish (rather than double like some places).

What we need is a sticky table like the 1/4 mile but with insurance that each person has.

Tesco quoted me £5k+, Elephant assured me that they don\'t insure RX-7\'s :rolleyes:.

I\'m with Crossgate Insurance, am 25, 5 yrs no claims and I declare everything (Thousands of £\'s worth of stuff) down to carbon door handles and extra guages.  Am just about to add a vented bonnet and 3 more guages which did not effect my insurance as they don\'t add performance .  It\'s also garaged with Cat1 and tracker.

I am on a <6000miles per year policy and am paying £1200.

Try them on 01582 738233.

I\'ve just taken out my new insurance with Elephant (who I was currently insured with) Im 24, no mods to my 1994 Type R2 import. dent to my pocket: £940 inc. recovery which was £70. A very good price I think.

[RX8-jai]

im 19. Insurance for me is 2300 with tesco just wondering if anyone knows of the accept modification. im to lazy to find out

[davefrith]

if you tell them and pay the extra

I\'m 21 with 3 yrs no claims, i got a quote from elephant.co.uk for a 93 twin turbo import RX7 with no mods, they quoted me £1200 fully comp with my wife as a named driver (which seemed to of brought the premium down). this quote included protection and roadside recovery, etc.

i just don\'t know what they would be like with mods!!!

[ScuttleRX]

they will tolerate a few, but get strict quite quick, when i was with them i had ecu, exhaust, bodykit and wheels, they came up with some faff about not insuring induction kits but that got sorted in the end, but worth bearing in mind. Prob wouldn\'t be allowed much more than that, maybe suspension, if you started thinking single turbo conversions, etc no chance

[hmltnangel]

Elephant def seem to be decent enough -

23 with 1 yrs no claims, 3 accidents in the last 2 years ( only 1 was my fault ) and an sp30 and the quote I got for an 1992 RX7 was only around 1500! still looking to find it cheaper tho!

[Matt.Wild]

You gotta remember tho you are insuring a grp 20 out of 20 car.  You can\'t get a higher risk type of car!

£1500 IMO is a great price for 1 years NCB.  Being 24, with my 5 years, Admiral did fully comp for £663 if paid at once or £751 if paid in installments (I did the latter because I couldn\'t afford it all at once ).  You can do mods, but they prefer minor ones ie bodykit or alloys rather than single turbo mods etc
