Got my renewal through for my Astra 888 today Currently paying around £1100 (was originally £800 but when i changed work i got bent over royally)

Anyway, renewal was £1,199.83 bargain i thought

Just aswell i took out my new policy on the BMW last night

£820 for a E90 330d M Sport

I do like this "family car" business

Picking it up 6 days early now, car will be mine this saturday

congrats on the new purchase!

thought the beemer would more expenxive to insure than the 888, shows what i know!

Enjoy

Danny.B. · 08-11-2011, 01:06 AM

Thats what i thought Rich!

Way i look at it is.. The astra is an "old boys" car, so probably has worse stats than that of the bmw. Cant see many Younguns driving around in 330d M Sports and making a mess of them!

MEGA · 08-11-2011, 02:53 AM

However, renewals are often a good 25% higher than if you shop around and switch insurer every year: Which does account for most of it..

Did you have the newer diesel 888 in sport hatch guise or the older bertone coupe 888?

Been there myself with a 888 in the past.

Is that your new car in your signature? My E92 330d i had before was Le Mans blue, gorgeous colour, kinda miss it over the 'boring' black i have now. Not that theres anything wrong with black :-)

Prices gone up alot since then.

I'm 24. No accidents, no points, 3 years NCB.. paying £800 for my E90 320d and that's on a multicar policy! Best independant quote was just under 1000...

When I was 24 I paid £600 for a Re-mapped 335d!! Not bad eh. It wasn't a family version. It was a Coupe.

Martin 335d · 08-12-2011, 05:20 AM

Bloody hell im shopping around this year im almost £1100 for my 335d and im 30

Must be down to good taste Danny!

Sadly, the 888 is the only car i've owned that I havn't got any photos of.

Ive done Clio (first car I ever owned, currently up for sale, wish I could justify buying it back for sentimel reasons! http://uk.findyourauto.net/Renault-C...835969833.aspx), Astra Coupe in Orange, it stood out!, 888 diesel, e46 320d coupe, e92 330d and e92 335d.

335d booked in dealers next week as its losing power steering fluid :-(

DXB - thats a good insurance deal you got there, i'm 27 and currently paying about £700 on the 335d, insurance companies seemed to pick me to screw this year, even shopping around still did me out of 200 quid more than last year...(insert relevant expletive here!)

Where you boys from?
