just done a quote on a V6 230

[ColinG]

righty..heres the situ (life story people) hehe



ive just turned 20, and drive a 172 cup under my dads insurance (me as main driver) which works out at £1200.15p and out of curiousity ive tried a quote with elephant (company as im with on the cup) for a mk1 v6..



now when i first tried it said i had to be 21..b****cks i thought but then i thought ok...ill put me as a year older (so basically in a years time) and got a quote IN MY OWN NAME of £2520!! this seems very very good considering ill never have had a car in my own name so 0 NCB etc! i think i know what im getting in a years time!!

would love a 255 but too much to buy for me

 

[seb]

If you spend that much on insurance you want your head looking at

Illegal to be under a parents name if you are actually the named driver.

Many younger people try to avoid the higher premiums associated with their age by insuring their car in a parents name and adding themselves solely as a named driver.

This is technically this known as "fronting" and it is never recommended. In some cases where this is done a claim could be classed as invalid meaning that a payout would not be forthcoming from your insurer and also that this younger driver could potentially end up being convicted of driving without insurance.

At a minimum the fine would be £100s with the potential for up to 6 points to be added to your licence.

My brother was the lead driver on my dads policy, and after his accident there was no complications and norich union payed out...So b****cks to this whole fronting thing!

not again.....

i can get insured on a porsche gt3 for £900 fully comp. can anyone lend me £80,000?

 

[ColinG]

no...cause the car is under my dads name too...we thought if it was getting insured in his name..then it would look better to be registered in his name..and i just paid for the finance/insurance to him!

 

[Day]

He has to be the main driver, which clearly he wont be.

That is quoted from Norwich Union

 

[182_blue]

i would want a 2 ferraris for that insurance

TBH youd be better off starting your own policy and start building up your NCB.

It should be quite cheap when your 21.....

 

[rock]

god its a sad day whe you have to choose a car based on the insurance premium.....glad I dony live in the UK, hell you dont even have to have insurance here.

I bought my clio new, and have never had to take it anywhere near a roadworthy place in 3.5 years.......

 

[stusV6]

I got my Vee when I was 20............now 21..............the insurance is £2540 but thats only for one year then it drops like a stone (I hope) the reason for that is...............Im 21, they WILL have to allow my 60% NCB (only 50% accepted this year) and finally I have a history with the car and with fast cars without a claim...............the history thing makes a BIG dif so they tell me.

As for being made of money..............no its just "what a car" and worth EVERY penny............some may not agree but hey everyone to their own eh
