It's a mystery, I did some quotes for a Range Rover Supercharged to get an idea of what to expect in July and have been struggling to find decent prices too, I've had quotes ranging from £1000 to £4000. Admiral came in at 4 different prices depending on which comparison site I used. One company I had my Accord Type R insured with when I was 23 said they couldn't provide cover unless I'd owned the car for more than 2 years, was over 30 and had 5 years NCB minimum.
The annoying thing is, I bought a 4.4V8 a Range Rover about 2 years ago and paid £630 for the insurance.

Are you telling them that you're a professional driver for a living? If so that's why your premium is in 4 figures.trying to get sensable qoutes on a car to run back and forth to work .

£1500 a year insurance are you're "pretty pleased"? 
Im not happy about paying that kinda money at all, but my 1.4 (which has the same fuel economy as my GTi belive it or not) was only £400 cheaper for the year on insurance, so I thought what the hell, £400 extra to have a somewhat more decent car on the road is pennies. Plus 18 year old male + Hatchback + GTi badges = Severe arseraping usually
Last year I paid 820 at 21 on a BMW 335i m-sport coupe, however this has gone up this year (at 22) to 940, still not too bad for the age and car mind...
However, I was hit from the side just before Xmas (third party has admitted all liability from day 1) and when doing quotes now most are around the £1500 mark....I think the car may have to go as I refuse to pay more than 1k for insurance, I didn't even pay that at 17! It really sucks when you have to sell your P&J due to the carelessness of others

There is no logic in insurance.
Last year my 3 cars cost £5200 to insure (nothing special Volvo V70R, Saab 93 Aero Convertible and a Jeep Wrangler 4.0lt) and having spent hours looking at all options this was the best deal my broker, and I could find.
This year, with no changes, except a non fault accident and the points on licences are older the price has dropped to £1400.
A saving of £3800. that's the summer holiday paid for!
My broker is dumbfounded and cannot explain.
