Title: Insurance.
Post by: pedroMV6 on 29 September 2010, 09:55:56: Provisionally sold the MV6, but the guy is having trouble insuring it.
He's 26, 4 years NCD, lives in Scarborough, car parked on driveway, sometimes garaged.
Best he's got so far is £600 comprehensive, which is ridiculous considering he had a 2.6 Carlton last year, which cost £350 comp.

Any ideas?

Not sure why it would be so much for him if he has got 4 years ncb. :-/

But yeah, doesn't sound that bad to me - mine is £750 at 32, mirrored NCB and no claims..

That said, I was lucky with mine I think..

Post by: aaronjb on 29 September 2010, 22:27:01: Well, yes.. but that doesn't make it any less valid a point, does it?

Nothing against Scarborough, I quite like the place (although I prefer Brid - spent many a summer there in my youth as it wasn't a million miles from where I grew up).. but I'm sure different areas will make a difference to his insurance quotes.
