    WOW, that is a fantastic price. My youngest son has been driving for a year, got a years no claims and will also be 18 and he is getting quotes around the £6000 mark on a Fiat Punto.

    I got a quote through the FSB and that came back at £2,200 which I accepted. Got the policy through today and the information has been printed incorrectly. I told them that my son was the main driver and it was his car, they have put me down as the main driver. I said it was for 12,000 miles and they have put down 6,500 miles. I got the quote over a week ago and confirmed the details again on Thursday before accepting the quote. They said the man who took the details will call me on Monday about it but I am just hoping that they honour it and don't cancel.

    I know. That's why I can't understand how some prices are so cheap, others are so dear. Apologists for insurers always say "postcode", or that it's not the price of the car, and "you can do the same damage with a cheap car as a dear one", so why are some quotes so expensive, if they can still make a good enough profit on £350?
