_leon_ 0 Posted July 9, 2004 Have any of you NI owners found someone comparatively cheaper than others?? I've been looking all day and have been totally horrified at the quotes! At least 3 times what I'm paying in Scotland any names appreciated :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pablo_vr6 0 Posted July 9, 2004 yes mate admiral is great for me. 680ish FC also Quinn Direct and AXA. In fact Axa were a close 2nd to admiral for me. was looking the other day as mine is up soon. admiral was considerably cheaper than elephant too.

_leon_ 0 Posted July 10, 2004 portglenone - 5 mins down the road mate. been away for years though so doubt i would know her... the cost of the car aint the problem though, its the insurance thats the killer, else I would have a VR6 by now :( its looking like its a run around for a year then back to the C hunting - its f**king depressing mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_leon_ 0 Posted July 11, 2004 25 in november - i was a named driver last year so ncb is 0. scotland prices - 1100 this year, 690 next year. NI prices - 3830 this year, 2400 next year!!! honestly... :roll: being a named driver over the last year meant that car costs were cheap as, but regretting it now somewhat... i'm thinking positive *corrado next year then, corrado next year then* lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
