Im trying to find insurance for the Volvo and the cheapest quote Ive got is £581!!

Now thats TPFT,£350 excess and 5k / yr

(thinking of keeping my rallye on the road at the same time)

Although why the hell is it so much, my rally is a little less than that, about £550! and yet its a higher insurance group, by 3 groups I think.

Its also worth less with a higher excess than my 106 rallye.

Although if I have 2 cars and 2 insurance policies does that mean if I have no claims in the next year then Id have 2 years of NCB ?

The simple fact is insurance never makes sense when you are comparing it.

amen to that, im comparing insurance for cars im looking at:

Present car = N-Reg Civic 1.5i : £290

Looking at
V-Reg Frontera 2.2 TD : £345
V-Reg Civic VTi Estate : £368
W-Reg Shogun Pinin : £319

Ill work it out at some point.

Cost of repairing the Volvo could be higher with more expensive parts than the Peugeot.

I dont think the insurers care from which district you orate when criticizing automotive design.

^^^

higher crime areas
areas with a higher chance of vandalism
more accident prone areas


etc. etc.

Cypher

Yes the list goes on and on.  How popular a  car it is to break into or steal, etc.

But Im not sure If that is allready defined by the group insurance or not.

Same address as the rallye, the parts maybe more expensive and true I could do more damage with 1850KG compared to 830Kg however the Rallye is a hot hatch group 10 car and the Volvo is only grp 7.

I cant wait till next year... Ill be 25 and have my license for 3 years too and also if no accidents happen Ill have my 1yrs NCB :) Prices should hopefully fall to realistic levels.
