Advice needed RE insurance from fellow Londoners

[N11LS_J]

i feel your pain mate

im going to have to declare another 3pts once theyve been process (stretching it out as long as possible)

iv just been on go compare ... chucked in my details as per now, and quote is what im paying (c.£1,750)

declare a further 3pts, and a) admiral no longer appear on the list and b) cheapest quote is £2,300

so, not looking forward to making that call when i have to

just hope i can shift the bloody car before hand

It's a joke innit?

Well atleast i'm no in this boat alone

[Ian_C]

It's done.

See classifieds...

Mate!! Nooooooooooooo. Burger and chips on me next time at Ace Cafe if you can make it regardless of whether you are in the RS.

As I said, this could be any of us. The story Dave recalls is a bit of a shocker too.

LOL cheers Ian, infact if mine is sold, could i just sit in yours for a while???

Well mine's no RS!! The insurance is waaaaay cheaper though - you considered one? Same V8 meaty goodness!! Decent tyres, Milltek and roll bars won't turn it into an RS4 but one avenue to pursue - could even transfer some of your mods over.

[N11LS_J]

Still an S/RS!

I did consider and S, haven't ruled this out either for the moment, will see what happens with regards to mine first then take it from there i guess.

DK, try Admiral direct they are cheaper direct then on comparison sites in my experience.

Nills .... just to put this all into perspective

now iv sold the Imola, i called Admiral to enquire as to my Insurance refund on my premium (as i paid it upfront) .... £1,500 massive big ones !!

and i've avoided the increase of £500 pending through my extra points

so technically, im £2k better off by selling the Imola, in some sort of twisted logic kinda way ?

[Ian_C]

Much of a cancelation fee? Admiral don't have the greatest reputation, sounds like you've done quite nicely there though!

[HYFR]

£25 admin fee

they only charge you for the days you've used

fair play to them

[Ian_C]

That's pretty damn good actually.

[PJC]

£25 admin fee

they only charge you for the days you've used

fair play to them

Can't complain at that.

[Ian_C]

That's especially good if one is paying £2000 a year like Dave clearly is - you had the Banana for over three months?

(ie. 25 pound flat fee rather than say 15 - 30 days cancelation charge)

Nice 2k is not to be sniffed at,you could almost give me your 20s and not even be worse off

I was just putting it out there,i would actually run 21s without a problem but as bam bam said the brakes would look pretty
weedy,especially the rears.
I just wouldnt mind another set of 20s but although fully worth what Dave is asking i dont quite want to pay that having shelled out
for my 20s with adapters and new tyres

[PJC]

That's the issue with mods / upgrades there is always a knock on effect.

Its expensive enough on my Mini.........
