Insurance on an import

[VB]

Just wondering what you guys are paying for insurance and whether I'm being shafted by using the main stream insurers.

I'm paying 600 for tpft on my Eunos, with business class usage (which had always brought my premium down in the past) for myself and my wife (were both 30 and have access to other vehicles) with 5 years NCB. The car is also parked off the road, not garaged though.

FC, I didn't even bother to find out about, but I find it ridiculous that I get full cover on my Passat which is worth 8 times more, costs a st load more to repair and has the same useage, only its 50% cheaper.

any recommendations for a specialist?

Me too. I'm 23 as well, ~£550 with 5yrs NCB, fully comp with 3rd party cover on other cars, unlimited miles.

Hmm not got 3rd party cover on mine. Does that come with 5 years no claims or did you specify it when you took out the policy?

Flux, they have all of our policies, the elise is less than £300 as it's using my proper no claims bonus, so stuck with a high premium
