Insurance quotes!

[Grumpy58]

I am actively looking to buy an early Evora and have been doing some research on insurance costs for an S compared to an NA model.

Wow! - the S model is coming in at approx 3 times the cost of an NA and also with much bigger excess figures !    That plus the £715 road tax seems to have ruled out buying an S for me.

I have 3 yrs NCB which I can use plus I am "mature" ( 65) and a low risk postcode.

 

Anybody else had similar results when getting quotes?  Any recommendations for insurers to try?

Anybody thinking of selling their NA?  🙂

It might be worth a look through the insurance section (where this post now is!)

In my very humble opinion, the NA is the better car anyway!

I have a modded S. August tax renewal was £710 and insurance renewal 4th Sept was £497. Max NCB and 63 years old.

Insured by ERS via Henderson Taylor. Manning provided a similar quote also.

Thanks Tim for info

ERS quoting me £580 for an S with my 3 yrs NCB available ( NA is £35 cheaper ?) - via AIB

Admiral quoting online £400 for S, £303 for NA with sensible level of excess .

£710 road tax is a bummer!   

I need to have a decent drive in an NA now.
