Looking good: wonder why the insurance would cost double for a Trophy????

 

[FISHER]

that looks nice. I had a bk/gd one tha same. Changed it for the t and insurance went up 2 groups! The reason they gave was its a more focused car and encourages faster driving etc. Think group 17 was quoted

Cheers lads, yea the 182 is 16 and trophy is 17, payed 1300 but if od
got the trophy it would of been 3300 so more than double!!

 

[eljeffo64]

Ouch!! That's got to hurt.....:-(

 

[FISHER]

Looks very nice. 8)
Not sure what the crack is with the insurance though???
My old 182 was costing £900 per year, sold it and bought a GTI6 as a gap car, same group 16 but only cost £400iirc???
Then i got the Trophy 7 month later and my first year was approx £800. Down to £480 now. All with Direct line.

 

[austin-182]

Wish mine was that cheap, im 23, onto my second year no claim now, will have it in 6 months time,
first car i just gt insured on my dads name to save money
ive payed 1300 twice now, pisses me off i only do abwt 7k a year, bike to work to save petrol and starting the car up fr a short journey bfe it has a chance to warm up, its jus one ov those things i guess
