I am fuming!!!

[minimax]

I'm in the market for a VX and i've been shopping around for insurance quotes, I called my broker (who happen to be named after a substance one might use when soldering something) and got a quote with all the discounts of £1,636 - 23, low risk postcode, 5 yrs NCB etc and then thought i'd give tesco a go....[big]£836[/big]

utterly ridiculous, I think that i'm being fleeced on the other 3 cars I have with them...:mad:

having said that, big :thumbup: to tesco who will get my business unless any of you guys can suggest other insurers to try?

Tom, try Elephant, they seem to be very cheap.

Turbo or NA?

[k3mps]

i had a shop round and found tesco best ( turbo ).

[Sonic Nonsense]

How old are you?

I'm 22 (so not exactly an insurer's dream come true) and insurance for me (5yrs NCD and 3 points for speeding) was about £1400 from Elephant. Tesco wouldn't even give me the time of day!

Looks like you were being taken for a big old ride!

[k3mps]

I have my Tiger insured fully comp with AF for a very reasonable £150......

Mind you, I am a BIT older than you........



Seriously, try <More than........(Royal and Sun Alliance)

They were over £100 cheaper than Direct Line (who were cheap anyway) at renewal, for Mrs. Wacky Racer's Mercedes.....

Tom - I've just run a quote on an n/a 2.2 via www.norwichuniondirect.com and it was £700 (paying monthly)

I'm pretty happy with that as my focus is £500 now (through NU - cheapest again) so the £200 extra is making the VX look very promising indeed!!

It'll be early summer next year before I look to buy however so it may be even lower by then (assuming no claims etc)

Cheers

Phil

Ive always saved a bundle going with the small specialists: people like Adrian Flux, Peart Norton etc.

Colleague whos planning to get a 220 turbo just had a quote with Flux that was £250 less than a quote from Tesco

[trackdemon]

Try hyperformance; they beat my Tesco renewal quote by a couple of hundred quid....

[TangoAlpha]

I have 3 years no claims and my last insurance on my VX was from Adrian Flux at £410 having knocked £20 off when I complained

Swapped insurance onto my M5 and it went up to £600
