Post by: Leroy on 21 September 2012, 15:41

Seriously, only difference between the quotes ive input is the number plate and the 16v insurance is slightly cheaper.

Well buggers im keeping them both at the moment! neither are selling. the 16v didn't sell on ebay so ive told the mechanic to get the welding done on the 16v so i can get it MOT'd. Then i put the 8v on for £1150 (i had it on here for £1600 earlier in the year before i spent all that money replacing the ignition system and gearbox and had a few offers) but now nothing! can't believe it. One has to go soon.

Insurance companies make it up as they go along, the 16v was cheaper on a comparison website but when i rang my insurance company the 16v was £400 compared to the 8v's £300. so god knows!!!

The rates change every month, sometimes they go up, sometimes they go down...
