By this point I just gave in.)
Also accident my fault back in Apr 04 (only rear light on other car broken - no damage to the my landrover).
And my highest quote was £1589.24 (that with the tracker fitted)
And the quote I went with was RAC who gave a great quote of £568.19. This great deal includes if the 300c is written off or stolen unrecovered in the first year I can either take the street value of the car (it will be low as all cars depreciate about 20-30% once off forcourt)
Or I can have a brand spanking new car. with delivery milage no matter howmany mile I do in the first year. also include the usuals such as legal cover etc.
PS i was told if I was an RAC member I would have got about another 10% off.
Just giving the heads up to a great deal.

hints for getting cheaper insruance are
1) use insurance supermarkets - moneysaving expert is best
2) change your profession to get better quotes. e.g I own an IT consultancy company and I played with IT programmer, company director, computer manager. ETC ETC
3) make sure your covered for commuting, I noticed not all companies cover commuting as standard, they just say leisure and social.
4) always be honest
5) online quotes really are cheaper (but ring after you get the quote to finalise the deal and try for a reduction)
6) keep looking around
7) book your insruance close to the expiry date. (seems weird but its true if you try and get a quote too far online they predict the national rise of risk in the next few months)
Thats about all

Hi Zoro
I am a huge fan of
www.moneysavingexpert.com the more people that use that site, the better (It is only relevant to Brits though).
Did you try Daimler Chrysler for a quote ? For me they offered very good value (some insurers didn't want to know with me owning the company that the car was registered to and needing the car insured for company use).
another good source of insurance quotes is
www.confused.com much more in depth than www,insuresupermarket,com but it takes a few minutes longer to fill out the form.
How does the £10000 of mods on your car affect the insurance premium ?
