V Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Just tried to get insurance from these guys. Was on the phone for ages and the guy went off to check and they only do a Auto TT for imports. Can any one confirm if this seems to be correct? otherwise i'm back with Tesco's. Regards Stephen V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Their system has holes and they can't get around it - the MR2 chaps have the same issues - UK Autos can get quotes but their system doesn't list a J-Spec Auto despite the cars being 99% identical. However from previous LV threads it could just be a case of speaking to someone else, getting quotes from them seems to be a lottery! If the monkey can't find the right button to press then the monkey doesn't get a banana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 Insurance companies do seem to employee monkeys - no offence to people working in insurance. Got a cheaper quote from Alen & Alen :conf: Bell Direct transfered me to them - down to £700 all in. Cheers SV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked-wench Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 My current car is insured by Liverpool Victoria (its a celica ST202 import). The Supra's due at the end of July. I was recently (about 8 months ago) on the inside of a lorry when it made a left hand turn and shunted me of the road. They still haven't found the lorry (which drove off) despite this happening on Hammersmith Broadway which is swarming with CCTV and my giving them the registration, so I have had to fork out the excess for the repairs which were really poor quality (I'm still arguing with them about that. I would steer clear of them if I were you. Here's a picture of the original damage if you fancy a laugh: http://babylon-sl.com/celica/1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Well I called LV for a quote got all the way through it and the guy who in another thread I was told to specifically ask for (that incidentally lives 1 street over from me and has seen my car on many an occasion) informed me they wouldn't insure my spouse on that car until she was 30. Oh well I thought never mind. She called them herself and was quoted no problems. She called back to verify the quote and it transpired despite several times asking them to ensure they were quoting her for her car model they had quoted her for a MK3 and that indeed they didn't even have an SZ auto on the box or even the N/A import auto. What a load of cack. I think we ended up with Norwich Union but only untill I do the transplant when I am going to have to find yet another policy to cover that mod..

Jive Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Just to confirm what DB has just said, LV do not have a JSpec, NA, Auto on their database, they have a JSpec, NA, Manual which is lucky for lust2luv but not many others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 Run down FYI: Adrian Flux £1293 Tescos £893 Allen & Allen £700 (so far, he said if i call on the day they'll offer a better quote) Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Norwich Union direct came in at the best for us at £668.86 which is the same price for the import TT's as well. thats with a 28 and 32 year old both full no claims with no claims in over 10 years no convictions. Average annual miles. Total excess £400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 the mysteries of insurance continues. I use to insure my Prelude import with NUD but changed to Tescos for a year, then got the Supe. I ask NUD for a quote and they said they dont insure imports. I disputed that because you insured my Prelude. They went off to check and said, oh yes we did, didnt we. She went off to check again and said they wouldnt do imports now. It still seems to depend on absolutly nothing if you get a proper quote or not. Ended up at £690 including mods.
