Paddy - strange that your quote is slightly higher for the 1.6. Mine went down about €50 when changing from my mkiv golf gti 150bhp.

WOW :eek: :eek: :eek:

Funxy

Thanks all, im extremely lucky, and embarrassed now

Cyrus ~ im trained as a computer game designer (geek) but mostly property. The lotus was a downgrade cost wise definitely but strangely enough i preferre the lotus to the merc, sure you had all the comforts of heated seats, tv and whatever but the rawness and fun of the lotus brings a smile to my face in the way the merc never did. Dont get me wrong i always said i didnt like mercs but i do love the sl, but not as much as my baby lotus

Yes ciarsd it is a disgrace but the M5 is one of the most expensive cars to insure according to any broker I've asked for a quote. Full no claims bonus on my own policy. Yes it is a total ripoff but then most things are here anyway even with all the goings-on that it isn't. I can insure the Porsche in Spain fully comp. for 740 euros, admittedly I have a car insured there for a few years already.

The M5 is the perfect robbery car. I know of one a few years back and it was robbed about 4 times in the space of a year.

Sure what good would it be in a robbery, it`d stand out too much. And how would you sell it even as a stolen yoke.

Well if they can't rob it, they'll definatley scratch it.

Wanted to kill the cúnts. :mad:

I have a tracker device fitted to it and I also have a clear shot at it from my bedroom window and I'm a very good shot funnily enough, plenty of practice.;)
They might get into my house but its the getting out part they should worry about.:)

Who knows ram raiding and robbing banks most likely. Or just because they can. Besides they can strip pretty much anything for parts. We had a 50ft site trailer stolen once. Wasn't even worth scrappage, and they'd need a truck to move it. But they still nicked it. Anyway sorry for dragging this off topic.

I cannot believe your insurance quote, it has to be possible to get it cheaper unless you have some weird occupation that puts you in high risk.

When I was thinking of getting the M3 back in June/July, I was nearly put off by the insurance quotes I was getting which were in that €4k range. Not that I couldnt afford it, but given my low mileage per year it was just sticking in my throat to pay them such extorionate rates.

In fairness, I had no ncb because I was just opting out of a company car scheme and while they give you a certain amount of credit for being a named driver its not the same.

However, I saw an ad in the golden pages that Friends First (or First Ireland) were running; they specifically mentioned performance cars and I got quoted €1700.

Thats for an 03 E46 M3 valued @ €70k at the time and I am 33 yrs old working in banking.

St Pauls are total tossers based on my past experience of trying to get quotes from them.

Thanks for the info CorporalCarrot but I am high risk according to my insurance broker and I even have a motortrade policy separate to my motor policy. They can shove it in the new year anyway I trading it in. I keeping my real car in Spain from February.

Would love an M3 but when I read the cost of insuring an M5 earlier, think I'll forget about it Maybe a 330i (or 330d) in a few years.

Ring your insurance company. It might not be as bad as you think. Junkyards premium is way off

Sorry to bump this quote again Junkyard but have you been in touch with www.123.ie or is the engine too big (over 3.0ltrs)?

Mike.

junkyard

Thanks for your interest Mike but the car is a 5 litre V8 and according to my broker, who I know well, its a good quote.

And here it is folks, the object of my insurance companies desires;

LundiMardi

to be honest, if you're driving an M5 i doubt that quote makes a huge dent in your earnings, by the way i HATE you!!!! heh heh

Here's me...

22 - male - provisional licence (waiting on test)

Drive - 97 Punto 60SX 5 door - 1242cc
TPFT - 1800 + interest (down from 4000 for 1st year insurance)
1yr NCB
Insurer - Quinn Direct

I tried to get another quote with the same details except as a full licence with 2yr NCB and the quote only decreased by 200:(
