Worth getting a car to keep no claims going..? - 11/02/2010 02:08
Hiya..
I'm without a car for the next 7 months or so while I save for next one, I sold the Coupe about 5 months into my 5th year of no claims...
Just been looking at insurance for the car I'm intending on buying - it's gone from under £300 for the Coupe, to over £800 for the Elise 111S I want.
D'ya reckon it'd go down any noticeable amount if I can complete that 5th year of no claims? Say buy a banger and just insure it..
I'm 29, so it'd be cheap to insure a hatch. I just didn't realise it'd be so pricey for a Lotus - I've had lower quotes for truly exotic cars!
Advice welcome. Have tried the usual tricks - adding a parent as a named driver and the like.. That brought it down from over a grand! Just seems a little odd, there are kids with Lotii paying far less than that! (gits)
