Wasso Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 That's mad. I guess you'll try sky as well. You'll get there just a case of finding the right company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Speak with Sky or flux and you'll get a better quote. Flux cant better it what age are you ? have you checked with admiral and elephant? Put in a quote first without it and then give them a call and ask how much it would be onto this price if you added a replacement stainless steel exhaust system cat back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 That explains why most companies aren't interested and Privilege were, that's a fair amount of use especially for business. Class 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class 1? Yeah will try a couple more Monday,but im not hopefull for a cheaper quote tbh, oh well! Will consider plan 2 now,get rid of Miltek & buy a standard Nissan Cat back & possibly make some extra money out of it! Silver lining & all that,not to fussed about keeping it on & from what i have read the stock exhaust is a good one anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I can't believe you'd want to use the Zed for business miles. 3 years and 90k miles including personal. That's going to seriously depreciate the Zed. Maybe thought of having a cheaper business car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its a few extra miles above average & if i was worried about Depreciation I definitely wouldnt of bought this car. Im very happy with it & enjoy my job more knowing im driving it & spending upto 3 hrs a day in it Im the envy of all my care worker colleagues & everyone else who sees it on the road,specially my Audi TT acquaintance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do enough miles getting to meets and shows - and that does my head in as the service is due every 9k miles. So if you're doing 30k a year, that's 3 services a year!! I know what you mean though about driving the Zed.... Why purchase a car just for weekends, especially something that sounds and looks amazing!

alfawookie Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Yes 3 services a year,just like my Alfa 147 . Im not ruling out buying a smaller car like a £500 Matiz,Micra or a Charade.However at the mo just having bought the car am just enjoying the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will370z Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Ouch, that's an expensive jump in costs for the miltek. When I looked at upgrading my stock exhaust to a miltek and was going to go for an uprev I told direct line and they said they couldn't support the modification. Turned into a big positive though, since they said it would be them cancelling not me there would be no cancellation fee. Moved to sky insurance and the premium fell by about £80. Since then I've added and declared numerous other mods and the premium has not budged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a good thing: You do realise that you have to declare that you've had insurance cancelled now when asked by other insurers, which usually ends up in either a 50% price hike or declining to quote altogether? There's a difference between having insurance cancelled because you outright lied or tried something dodgy and having it cancelled because you want to do something to the car that they won't cover you for, I agree, but it's still cancellation of insurance and is frowned upon very badly by insurers indeed! That said, I'm assuming you told Sky that you've had insurance cancelled and the reasons for that and they were fine, so as long as you stay with the smaller companies you can get round it. Not something I'd ever like to try, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Everything was all fine and amicable between all three insurance companies. sky have been great, I was happy with direct line but they couldn't support the exhaust, which needed to be done as the last one feel to pieces after an activity day at northweild airfield.
