Just reading the Irish Times yesterday, Μnsurance is at it lowest price in years. Are any of you still paying huge premiums? I changed my ploicy on my Patrol from AXA in January to XS-Direct. AXA quoted me 3150 (with 4 years no claims). XS quoted 1050 for the same policy. They work on a very high excess in case of a claim. Boys have to pay the first 4000 of every claim, girls pay the first 2000. It's still the best option for me. Who are you guys with? ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

B.T.W. I was checking quotes for a 1994 M3 and the best so far is 1,200 with 350 excess from Brittons. St Pauls were looking for 1,400 with no excess. Brittons (XS) were quoting 800 with excess of 4000, but I couldn't take that risk. ------------- Ado '97 523i & 95 M3 97 Subaru Impreza WRX Sport Wagon (sold) |

Hibernian-direct... cheapest if you're married as far as i can see, they seem to be the only one that has only a tiny loading for a spouse.

Thats very good for AXA. I know they have other nice benifits. They told me they don't normally quote for high value/performance cars. Sister-in-law was quoted 2300 for an SLK 230 with them. Went to Hibernian and got it for 1400. She was 27. She's now paying 825 on a 2.5 Boxster. ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

Quoted me 820 originally, but haggled with them ("I got quoted x by y" kind of thing). llatsni - you shouldn't be loaded for a spouse; most companies give a discount for having you partner (married or unmarried) on the policy, regardless of provisional or full license. ------------- "http://www.tempoantiques.com"">

Sure give you a laugh... I'm 29... full NCD... it was cheaper to include my wife on the policy despite the fact she was on her first provisional with 1 years no claims on the 325Ci!! Mine is around the 1,100 mark as far as i remember... full no claims protection, open drive, windscreen, yada yada... cup of tea if you break down etc. etc. So me driving the car on my own is more risky than her driving it also.... insurance companies!! |

Always annoys me about the way brokers can knock a lot of dosh of their original Quotes. A lot of people especially older ones just pay the quote they get in the post. I know i have to go searching for my mother otherwise shed just pay what shes quoted, too quiet to haggle. |

29years old when I took out the policy last August, E30 M3, fully comp with protected 4.5years NCB, with FBD, It cost me a hefty 2,000 I could'nt get a quote last August on my E30 M3, as I only had classic car policies for 4 years which dont count when your getting normal car insurance and I have been on fleet insurance since I was a little lad Our company were going to insure the M3 on the fleet policy for free, but I had to get my own policy some day so I went to FBD our insurance company which we have been with for 4.5 years, and they gave me the above quote after we told them we were not happy with the other personal quotes they give me first They told me after 1 full year with them I will have a fully protected NCB and it should come down alot, if not I will take my full NCB they give me and shop around.

Man that bites... I'm drivin' a '92 520i - totally standard. I'm 26, five years NCB, the car sleeps off the road on private property in Limerick County (joking aside, it's a very low risk area), I generally don't act the maggot on the road, never had penalty points and Hibernian are charging me 1100 for third party fire and theft. And the sad thing is, Hibernian is the cheapest. It's like they just pull a random number out of the air. I'm being ****** over and there's nothing I can do about it!  Jimbo, did you go through a broker or go direct to Hibernian? -------------

I went to Hibernian direct. Like you said-they are the cheapest I could find. I rand a broker at the time and the lowest quote they gave me was from Hibernian-but it was still more expensive than what I was quoted direct. LOL
How do you get the quotes in the surrounding box in a reply? ------------- Past: '99 316i coupe Present: Imola Red '02 325Ci Sport |

Just click the quote button in the top right corner of the post you want to quote! I'm from Adare. Just noticed you are in Ennis - you should call out to Ballyvaughan tomorrow if you are stuck for something to do, there is a hillclimb on at the Cork Screw - ledgendary bit of tarmac! There will be a pretty unique collection of cars there. </Hijack> (Sorry!  )-------------

Let me know what it was like if you make it yourself. Ive only joined this site lately-are there many meets or anyting coming up soon? ------------- Past: '99 316i coupe Present: Imola Red '02 325Ci Sport |

Welcome! It's not a BMWCC related event... the Sunday hill The Scalp in Carron (I think that's how it's spelled). A good hill for spectators I believe! Dunno about meets - I haven't been here in a while! Some of the lads should be able to fill you in- keep an eye out for Fey! and Dergside. Of course there is one important meet coming up in October - Mondello! -------------

Not sure about the rest of the motorsport calender, but the Galway National Rally (Summer Stages) is on at the end of August. It's a one day event on a Sunday (the 27th, I think). Anyone who wants to go marshalling at it can give me a call........ ------------- "http://www.tempoantiques.com"">

Thanks for the welcome  Given it's only TPF&T I'm not too worried to be honest, the old bus wouldn't be worth a huge amount in any case with 130K miles on the clock. |

My insurance is up on Thursday. Here's what happened over the last week............ Renewal form sent out automatically ( Eagle Star through a pervious employment scheme) which was 584.00. Did an online quote with Hibernian ( our house insurers ) 355.00 Rang back group scheme about their qutoe only to be told that the quote of 584 was from the current insurer but that they had gone and found a better quote with a different insurer for 341.00. They said that they sent a letter but nothing recieved from them. Rang Hibernian and asked for a reduction due to having house insurance with them. Down to 328.00. Then realised that herself was on the Hibernian quote as a named driver so rang back to group scheme to add girlfriend to policy and the new total is now 309.00. Will be going with that quote. Very happy. Pay via laser, no direct debits. ------------- E34 520i auto leather Previous: E36 93 316i M40 Boston Green |

all the fun stuff with Eagle Star. 1337 with XS as well was quoted as
the cheapest. 27 years old with 3 years NCB. You know the car... Will give a few places a call to see if I can get it any lower. If not I will stick with Eagle Star. ------------- http://www.kinmak.com - KinMak.com - http://www.elara.ie - Elara Online |

@Kin: Sounds like a very good quote to me. In general it seems like
everyones insurance is pretty reasonable. @netwhizkid: Doing your test in an auto sounds easy, but you have to be able to use it properly. Not like the way you see people drivng with them. You will need lessons in an auto to pass. And what kind or big girls blouse are you anyway? If you do your test in an auto then you have major restrictions. What if you get the oppertunity to drive a really nice car? (it happens). You can't. What if you have to borrow a manual car? You can't. And if you think you'll be able to do you test again in a few years, think again. It's not set up that way. And lots of cars in the states are 'sticks'. Grow up. Take some lessons and do the test in a manual. ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

@netwhizkid: Give the manuals a try first, keep at it, the saying practice makes perfect didnt come from nowhere. As for being in the same boat re. insurance, yes i am, im 17 on a provisional nearing then end of my first year and just turning 18, i have a 525td and its insured under my mothers name for around the 3k mark, a 316i with a slushbox will be much much cheaper to insure, im with hibernian through a broker, although i have just transfered my insurance over on to my Volvo 850 T5-R for the summer i will be renewing again on the bmw at the start of august. I think your parents are right you should try driving the manual toyota first and get the hang of it, you'll appreciate your bm more when you start driving it, plus once you have the manual license you can drive anything, so to speak.
