Insurance Refund!!!

[JohnH]

Really surprised when I contacted Direct Line about changing the insurance from my Impreza STi7 PPP to the RS4 MTM Stage III with lots of other mods which I told them about. £48 pound refund and no requirement for Tracker [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

Don't really understand how insuring a car 50% more powerful and nearly twice as expensive can cause a drop in price and no Tracker required. Assume that Impreza has higher accident rating or is stolen more often but then I always thought that RS4s were top of the most stolen car list.

Still I'm not complaining!!

similar story with me... (DL again)

used to have a 2002 S3 225, chipped and porsche braked...

phone up for a change to a new 2003 s3 225, all the same extras and chip and brakes, PLUS sat nav plus, quattro gmbh suspension and parking sensors, so higher value car.... by a few £k's

and ...

£160 rebate. [img]images/graemlins/jump.gif[/img]

check the documents when they come as direct line often put the wrong vehicle on by accident. could have put an s4 down.

Jon, Now I'm going to be worrying until the updated documents arrive [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

JOn, yes they do make mistakes - Direct Line gave me a quote for an S4 over the phone for £400'ish [img]images/graemlins/icon_lol.gif[/img]- thought this was gr8, so I called them back and told them to start the cover asap - it was then that they realised that they'd offered me cover for a '94 S4 and my '99 model was gonna cost another £200 [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]. I had a whinge and after speaking to a supervisor they gave me cover for my car for the original quote - well done Direct Line [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

[Jon]

sorry m8. you could get them to fax them 2 u

[JohnH]

Just rang Direct Line and they do have it all correct including the mods. Excess is £700 due to all the mods.

[Jon]

had another thought, was your subaru an import, if so they can be more expensive than an rs4. hope this helps ease your worries

[JohnH]

No it was a 2002 STi7 Prodrive Type Uk with 300bhp PPP upgrade, Prodrive Suspension, 18" Alloys

[Jon]

i'd be shitting myself then! [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]

[JohnW]

lol jon,

you certainly know how to put a mans mind at ease, eh [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]

Mind you, my insurance co only wantedan extra 800 quid to swap a 96 Passat Estate (worth about a grand) for a Porsche Cayenne Turbo (68k list).

If you are already insured with them just wait for the paperwork. If your changing to them though on the basis of a low rate I'd ask them to fax or email confirmation of the premium and cover.

Cheers,
John.
