Ray1965 10 Posted May 6, 2016 Just had a quote for my Corrado i was made redundant 5 weeks ago from the steel works, so had to put unemployed on a online quote. Got a phone call to say it would be £900!!, fell about laughing, thing is i would be paying it in full also what difference does this make to a quote, these under writers what to get in the real world. What a load of :censored:....So now i will be hammered for no fault of my own and pay through the nose for insurance, i need my car to go to interviews etc. :mad2: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted May 6, 2016 They just make stuff up on the spot, i worked them into a corner with questions and they just come up with some new excuse as to why something is more expensive, Told me the length of time you have owned the car affects it, so i asked when i reinsurance the corrado that i've had nearly 10yrs it should be cheaper than it was when i took it off the road 2yrs ago. Nope price went up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 6, 2016 Do you have a wife / partner still in employment? Insure it under her name and add yourself as a named driver? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thursdave 10 Posted May 6, 2016 Give Lynbrooks a try, amazing value money on my G60 as they'll class it as a classic! £134.14 for a year, 6k miles, UK and EU breakdown also. http://www.lynbrookins.co.uk/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 6, 2016 They're who I use too, and similarly ludicrous price on my VR6 too. I don't understand how they're so much cheaper than so many other specialist insurers on Corrado's. They're also good to deal with apparently in the event of an accident - mate of mine insures his Scirocco MK2 with them, and they were very good when it got broken into a couple of years ago.
