Car Insurance - The World has gone mad...

OK getting serious about the Fiesta ST now, so I called Privilege to get a quote to add it to my current policy.

 

Priv do not do multi car policies, but instead they offer multi car discounts to the current policy.

 

My 10 year old 1.8 Ford Mundane with 9 years NCD costs me £280 a year.

 

The quote for the pocket rocket Fiesta ST without any NCD (I can only use my current allowance on one car) was...

 

£228..!

 

Seriously, what the hell is going on LOL...

 

I can only assume the Insurers look at the real cost of a claim being the medical side. And having an accident in a 10 year old car will be worse than a 18 month old one (that inflates like a bouncy castle). And that the ST being small won't damage what you hit as much as a big old Mundane bus...

 

But still that is stupid little money - just found a serious advantage to being old..!

While no claim bonus can only be applied to one car at a time, it's quite common for insurers to "mirror" the ncb with an equivalent discount on to another car.

Good job you aren't trying to insure the diesel version, which is much more sporty!

Oh I twigged all right...but I am a man of infinite patience and terrifying resources.  You'll learn.  They all do, eventually. :p

I think I have finally learned my place... Your power truly does know no bounds...

 

If I make a grovelling apology and genuflect in your general direction, will you give me my life and reputation back..?

It would appear you have perceived the perils of pouring petrol into the all-powerful committee volcano.  I will restore your online persona and place you on parole if you like. :t-up:

 

(That was only Level 2, by the way - there are seven levels of terror.)

I have already realized Stage 3 is hacking the main Ford dealer and changing my order to a DERV Fiesta...

 

I am slightly concerned Stage 7 would involve a Diesel fuel pump and my  :arse:
