How much for a 27 year old

[Iain C]

My quest to own a rex on a budget takes me to insurance!
Ive been quoted £1200 by tesco and i think that is far to high esp as as its only for 4000 miles a year.
It would be used as a weekend use only car. Is anyone else in the same situation?
Wot do you guys think is a fair price?
Many thanks.

All i can say is give houghton a ring, plus if you can stretch the budget a little more then get a runaround as the first car. Im paying about 700 for both my cars insurance and im only 25 !
about 420 for the rex and about 300 for a pug 106 deisel.

Even on a standard policy houghton are good, plus tescos will hit you very hard for mods and probably want you to fit a tracker which is more cost.

[Iain C]

Yeah tesco wanted a tracker....Think they are about £500 !
£450 is outstanding mate. I\'ll give em a try

[evildave]

Houghton declined to give me a quote as i have too many mods, although my bhp is only 18 more than a standard car.

yep as a 27 year old fella i\'m using the AON deal this year as it worked V well for me with other motor garage & such like so i\'m paying far less for both cars this year than i was on a UK scooby last year

I cant understand why they would decine to give you a quote on one with only 18bhp more than standard. When i got my quotes ( quite a few from houghton) they gave me a quote for 1100 for a 550bhp single turbo with all the trimmings. Like full roll cage, bodykit and alloys.

Is it a case that its too young a rx7, i think they only offer the classic insurance for rx7 over 10 years old, is that the problem

Is the area your in a bad crime area, or have you no noclaims, or a couple of accidents ??

Seems odd they wont quote.

[grinder]

shaun - you only pay 420 for the rex - HOW

[Big Stu]

I got a quote from Privelage for £820, 26b yr old, 5000 miles, as a 2nd car.

I havent got around to looking everywhere yet so i hope to trim that by a couple of hundred.

[Silent_Assassin]

try companies like elephant.co.uk they\'re quite useful
or try getting it as a classic car on adrian flux

hope this helps

good luck mate:)

[shaunwil]

As i said give houghton a ring, surely they can give you a really good quote. They made my ownership of a rex possible

[grinder]

humm i think i will - im sure i pay about 350 for the 2nd gen - maybe they can get that a bit lower

i will give em a ring next month when my insurance is due

Whats the number for Haughton insurance?

My lowest quote so far on a modded FD is with Tesco at £1260 FC
I\'m 25 with 6 yrs NCB, they didn\'t want a tracker just Thatcham cat1.

Adrian Flux were crap, they wanted £1800+:eek:

Adrian Flux Quoted me 3500 .  The net link for them is :

Hopefully they can help, but it may only a quote as a second car. Which will be a god send having a slow car for winter (plus it won\'t drink petrol like the rx7 !)

[MONSTER]

Cheers Shaun:)

I won\'t be classing it as a second car as I\'ll need all my NCB, and I\'m sure I won\'t be able to insure my 200sx as well as the rex, so the hundy will have to say goodbye:(

Unless theres any advice on what I need to ask the insurer - I always thought that you can only apply NCB to one car at a time?

Oh, is this classic insurance and limited mileage btw?

[scooby_si]

that\'s another advantage of clasic car insurance it doesn\'t use the NCB so i\'m using mine on the mondeo http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/5/5_5_138.gif\' border=0> & yes it\'s limited milage
