I am making a huge assumption here that I'm am older that you.

I use LV for both my cars, Porsche Cayman S (2009) Fully Comp £165 pa, BMW 116i Sport Fully Comp £162 pa (Excesses only £250 on each)

Regardless of age, I have heard good reports of LV Car Insurance.

I mostly have older "Classics" so am used to cheap insurance (EG £120 for the Turbo Mini, £200 for the TVR S, £250 for the Mondial etc)
But this being a newer semi-normal car its coming out rather expensive as I have no no-claims, not that ive had an incident, but just that I swap about so much.

So far Lockton has come up cheapest at £410, which isnt silly.
(Thank for the tip!)

So I went with Lockton @ £409 incl free porsche club membership (worth £75)!

(32yo, no no-claims, no accidents.)

Explain this to me:
My shed of a Passat estate 180k miles, falling apart, actually worth less than nothing £600

Seems a lot still... are you particularly young or "Crashy"?

I'm trying to shift the car before re-insuring...!
Never really bonded with it.

I have a 2016 Cayman GTS and my post code isn't the best, hence the price. As a comparison I was paying £450ish for my previous 5 year old Skoda vRS which was worth around £7k.
Ahh right its quite new then, fair enough.

Insurance is weird...

I am looking at getting a sports car as a weekend and occasion trip to work car. Looked at a Cayman 15 plate and they wanted £10,000 I'm only 22 but my similarly priced a5 is only £650 a year.
Anyone know someone who might be better for the insurance as it would be a deal breaker at that price.
Who have you tried?

... Wish I could have afforded a 2 year old cay man at 22... still cant now at 34...

Haven't you tried the usual suspects - confused.com, moneysupermarket etc? Can't believe you can't get a much better quote unless you have an awful record.
Actually they are usually useless on anything vaguely non-average in my experience, I nearly always get a better price from a "Specialist"
