Might be making the switch to a DC5!

[HASNIC]

Having been lusting after getting a DC5 since i first saw one i had learnt to live with the fact that insurance would be ridiculous as being 21 isn't the best thing in the world as far as insurance companies go!

Yesterday i decided that i would get a quote just to stop me pining after one but it's only made it worse!

I said "can you quote for a change of car on the policy please to a 2002 2ltr ITR worth 17k". After a couple of minutes she came back with.............."there will be no change to your premium Sir!"

I made her check several times that it was a for a DC5 rather than a JDM DC2 and she confirmed the car was a DC5!!!!! She made a note on my policy stating that there shall be no increase in the premium

Now i have the dillema that i can actually consider getting one now and have got myself a drive next friday

Yep, even rang them up again today to double check all the details and the read to me without being prompted "2002 Japanese Import Honda Integra Type-r, 2ltr, is that the one?"

I'm still in a state of shock :shock:

nice one mate!! You were very lucky!

I just called em and they wouldn't even quote, even though im 24 with 6yrs NCD and no points, and live in a med/low risk area!

Nice one

I think its because i'm an existing policy holder doing a swap rather than taking out a new policy?

 

[cfoster]

yeah could well be.

Ah well, im 25 in about 4 weeks so will slump for paying a silly premium till then, then cancel and re-insure for £690 FC

Nice 8)

It'll work out that i'll be paying £1280 for the DC5 which for my age is very good

 

[cfoster]

it is mate for this day and age. About 3 yrs ago i was paying only £900 FC on a modified Escort Cosworth!! I doubt that would happen anymore!!

Also, do they except mods ??

So thats on top of your current policy with a car?

How longs left on your policy, might not be that cheap?
