williams insurance

[fUbAr]

Right, ive got the opportunity to buy a williams 3, but i want to know whether the insurance would be affordable. At the moment i pay £830 on my 1.4 with 2 years NCD at the age of 20.

What do you reckon ill be looking at to insure a williams? also should i go fully comp like i am now or just 3rd party?

cheers, Dan.

I can imagine its gona be quite expensive I reckon if your RT £830, sorry I can;t help you but I can tell you what I pay, 26 5yrs NCB, Fully Comp parked on street, missus as named driver comes to £650 with elephant, which is quite reasonable considering.

 

[PoPe SmOkE]

at a guess based on myself £ 1100-1300 p/a ? 3pty f&t. depending on where u live..........

i drive a Mk2 mate, 1.4 16v at the moment. i was hoping for something like £1500.... do you think this is right?

Im 20, No NCD.. on a Williams 3.

Im on the Elephant 10 month bonus accelerator.

Im guessing £1000 - £1500 TPFT isnt a bad guess... going on what I pay with 0 NCD.. Itd be about £1500 - £2000 for fully comp.. (guessing)

 

[Daz]

Oh, why dont you goto elephant.co.uk and do a quote.. heh..

 

[fUbAr]

cheers daz... thanks but either im missing it entirely or you havent actually said what your insurance costs, if ya dont mind sayin

 

[Daz]

Not much point, cus it will vary greatly on location.. and the fact you have 2 NCD.. heh.

Just goto http://www.elephant.co.ukhttp://www.elephant.co.uk and get a quote - you dont have to take it out or anything, itll just give you a good idea of what it will be.

 

[fUbAr]

cheers im there now, i need a year of manufacture for a williams 3, which i dont know

anyone?

 

[Daz]

1995

 

[fUbAr]

 

[fUbAr]

it came out as £2202.75

 

[Daz]

What for?

Fully Comp? TPFT? 10/12 Months?

Add two older people.. often helps a lot.

 

[fUbAr]

fully comp 10months. i added my old dear and it came up as £1594.09 fully comp or £1115.72 TPFT.

the thing is id feel better having fully comp, but is it worth it seeing as the williams is much older than my current car?

 

[Daz]

PMd

 

[FlamingMonkey]

Sorry trev I thought it said RT, my missus drives an 1.4RT thats all, must be getting confused.

Those quotes are quite expensive, but I reckon its worth it

I thought they were quite good!

 

[fUbAr]

i would prefer to go fully comp on a car like that, and the difference of the insurance i have to pay can be mostly made up with selling my nearly new wheels and the difference of the price i sell my car for.

so basically, i could simply "swap" my car for the williams.

 

[PoPe SmOkE]

i reckon do it, youll love driving it.............. all the time !

 

[fUbAr]

ive got this thing in my head telling me that itll go wrong more cos its 6 years older than my current car. thats the only thing putting me off at the moment.

 

[PoPe SmOkE]

you have to put up with renault quirks !

have you driven a williams yet ? if not drive then decide - dont think it will take long..............

i used to have an 86 R5 GTT and the williams is merc quality compared to that !

 

[Illusion]

Try Green light mate, beat Elephants quote by 300 quid.

 

[richy]

im paying £1600 full comp with direct line, 0ncd 1 crash, as i said before go drive one!! then u will know

 

[Daz]

Direct Line? Yea.. they are usually very good.. but only if ya over 21!

Sorry didnt mean he could get it cheaper, just that its a lot of money full stop, as I am a tight arse. I was just saying a grand-odd is a lot of money but it will be worth it when you get to drive the Willy

 

[Daz]

Insurance is 100% profit for them if you dont stack it..

Is good business, heh.

 

[richy]

im 22 daz so not a problem with direct line, most places said i had to be 25 for a williams

 

[Tiger]

criky thats steep, mines goin down to 730 fully comp or 600 TPFT in 2 months

2 years NCB, 24

thats with tesco

 

[Jamie]

i got a quote for £980 on a willy 3 tpft 21 2yrs no claims from direct line. prehaps u would b better off waiting until u are 21
