(V6 owners)insurance on a V6, how much do u pay?

[Ted_200]

After seeing a couple on saturday at southend i am wanting one, i got a quote off bell.com for £950 with 2 years no claims, is that good or not?

 

[cat171]

Yep good quote that. I pay £660 f/c with five years protected ncd. I am 27 now.

One of the ones you'd have seen on sat was mine

 

[Ted_200]

yeah and deb's, stod next to it all night

 

[DebV6]

I pay about £750 f/c protected with Greenlight. I'm 25 have 6 years no claims so I'd say the quote you have is pretty reasonable.

 

[ddouble]

26, 3 years no claims, f/c mods declared, £670 with greenlight.

 

[Ted_200]

if i get one it wont be till next year, hopfully it will be cheaper with one more year and i'll be 24

 

[Sargara]

Just to clarify. Do you use them as your every day car or do you treat the v6 as more of a weekend toy?

Just wondering really as how much the estimated mileage affects the cost of insurance.

I've got mine on limited mileage, I think I told them 6k a year. I use it as a daily commute to work but that's only a few miles away so I don't really do an awful lot of miles in it for commuting, just pleasure But I doubt I'll use it as much over winter, which will keep it down.

 

[theduck]

Thats very good imo

 

[cat171]

For me mileage ddin't really affect the price, I think I said about 7k per year. The value didn't matter either, if it cost say 16k (for a mk2) Or 12k (for a mk1) the price was the same. I'm not required to have a tracker either, but it has one.

I've heard value only makes a difference if the car is worth over 30k, i can't say that is fact but I think i read it on one of the insurers websites once

 

[Bigsy]

sounds reasonable enough

 

[ddouble]

i based my mileage on 11k, although i do about 8k in reality.

might aswell tell them what you actually do, i dont think it effects it that much.

 

[Fred@BTM]

when i goy my 255 at 22 i was paying £1500, no idea what it is now, i haven't driven it in 2 years

 

[Ali]

Re: v6 insurance companys

great eh, 650 notes

 

[Josh]

Re: v6 insurance companys

Maybe because your 21 and only have 4 years NCB ...

 

[DebV6]

That's so unfair, Admiral were about £8-900 for me when I last checked, and I'm 25, have 6 years NCB and I'm a girl!! I think I'm going to move to Scotland!

 

[DebV6]

Re: v6 insurance companys

What companies are you trying? Most people seem to go with Admiral/Elephant or Greenlight who have vees.

 

[cat171]

Stuff admiral & elephant, Noel Dazely ftw ! They actually know what one is !

 

[DebV6]

I've never heard of them before? Might give them a try at renewal then.

 

[cat171]

They are a brokers, so it's with another company. They are very good, a few of the vee boys are with them.

[ClioVee]

im 21 i pay 1K with 2 year NCB

 

[Ted_200]

so my quote was pretty good then?

are you putting commuting? I'm sure I've read some people with these really nice quotes are on limited mileage

 

[tim124]

and moving from a 'good' area to a 'bad' one can double a quote. loads of things affect the price
