m88sdm 0 Posted July 4, 2009 Hey, OK, i'm a newbie, so please go easy... I'm in the process of buying my first Corrado, a dream of mine for several years. Unfortunatly i'm 21, so the drea of a vr6 or 16v is out of the question with insurance. I have found a lovely well looked after 2.0 8V, which has been loved and looked after well with a good history with it. It has a factory fitted alarm/imobiler, however for my insurance it needs to be thatcham cat 1 or cat 2 does anbody know if it would be or is likely to be. It's a94 'm'reg. Many thansk Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dukest 0 Posted July 4, 2009 bear in mind that even if it was a Cat1 then, it may not be any more as they get delisted after a while. Maybe not every insurance company will worry about that but fussy ones might get you to replace it.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easypops 8 Posted July 4, 2009 I always have found that its difficult to get a quote for a corrado without a cat1 alarm.......had a TOAD AI606 fitted to both......about £250ish........haggle that much off the seller and get one fitted :D Oh and welcome to the madhouse :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I used the standard comparison sites for my 1.8 16V I got a whole list of quotes despite me saying it had no alarm or imobiliser. That's all changed ready for the renewal though, so hoping for big discounts :) Oh and the fact I'll have been driving a year by then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted August 6, 2009 I was always asked has it got at least a CAT 2 immobilsor! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay23Sx 0 Posted August 7, 2009 I guess thats the difference between using brokers and just standard comparison sites. Admiral seemed quite happy without. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted August 7, 2009 HIC do expect it to have a CAT1. To be honest, i'd get one fitted anyway if money permits. I wouldnt want my pride and joy been taken by some scroat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay23Sx 0 Posted August 7, 2009 Oh it's all sorted ready for the renewal, I just had to have the car when I saw it (I wasn't a driver at the time) and when I passed 2 months later I jumped on the cheapest quote possible just to get behind the wheel. (£850 TPFT, with no driving experience I didn't think it was to bad). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
