I've just had a look at quotes where I am (a couple of hours away from London) and got £900/year. That's quite a lot (I think for a Ford Focus and a Volvo V70 I pay about £200 each) but you're really getting screwed!
I wonder how much is just the sheer value of the car rather than insurers considering them to be particularly risky?
- calewis 7y agoI think its both. Insurers are by nature risk averse. I suspect, from your comment you also have no claims years? Still £900 is a lot.
- cs02rm0 7y agoAh, managed to miss that bit - yes, I do. In that case I'm surprised your quote wasn't more!
- CalRobert 7y agoStrangely, I found that insurance on cars over ten years old gets really expensive, to the point where the car is effectively uninsurable. I don't know why - but it was surprising, coming from a place where I insured a '95 Mazda for about $35 a month
- joezydeco 7y agoManufacturers stop keeping new parts in stock around that time, so spare mechanical parts and/or body panels begin to become scarce.
- nradov 7y agoThere's no point in paying for comprehensive insurance on a car that old. You only need liability.
- CalRobert 7y agoThe values I quoted are for third party insurance (akin to liability in the US)
