numbnuts 0 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I have done a bloody stupid thing.Before buying the VR6 i went onto GoCompare.com to get a quote which was about £230. Brill i thought that will do me as i can just about afford that!So i bought the car which has modded suspension (lowered) and std apart from that.Went to insure it today and have been quoted nearly a grand!!!! I stupidly thought that the no claims i had built up with the wifes policy on our Sharan was transferable but it's not. i'm the named driver on the Sharan polocy. It's with Direct line who quoted me £640 with the no claims which i just can't afford. So i'm kinda buggered unless anyone has a suggestion. The car is just a 'toy' and i don't want to pay out loads of money just to drive it once every two months. May have to re sell it....NUTS!Any help?Andy :-| (st) Link to post Share on other sites

numbnuts 0 Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Problem solved. We decided to go with the 650 quid insurance. I'm still pretty peeved about paying that sort of money for something i'll only use every now and then but hey ho. Link to post Share on other sites
