    When MSE did this a while back and someone said they paid £14. Rather odd when you put their details into comparisons the cheapest was £200.

    I think they went on every cashback site and found xx% cashback and added them all together and then found 10 CC's with xx% cashback and added all those as well. Where in reality only one option could be used.

    I got my shopping for free because Sainsburys had a 50% off deal and tesco had a buy 1 get one free and Iceland had some vouchers and if i add them all together my shopping would essentially be free.

    Without knowing the area, your job, your mileage on this car, the car value, what the cover actually covers etc etc then any comparison is next to useless.

    Ford Cortina 2 litre, total payable to the insurance company £115, which comprises of £15 for agreed value, £45 arrangement fee, which means that the actual premium is £55.

    How has a ten year old car done 3000 miles?

    I assume he meant 3k/yr. But I still wouldn't want to be doing 300 miles/year in an Auris, thanks...

    Just renewed ours - 10k/yr estimate, Cit ZX TD, rural Herefordshire, mid 40s, clean licence but only 2yrs NCB. Change from £150. I'm going to be searching for a premium for the Landy (s3 88") over the next few days - I'm expecting that to be cheaper, agreed value classic policy.

    I thought I'd got a good deal on my SLK for £230. I feel beaten.

    Did do a cheeky quote for a 911 S4 and got change from £300.

    Anyone got a recommendation for an agreed value policy? I paid top whack for my Merc (low mileage, one owner, FMBSH, immaculate etc) but I have it insured on a normal policy and I have a fear that if I had a bump it would be written off with a market value of a grand or so, which is what the majority of 190s go for (with moon mileages and a trillion owners). Next renewal I will be looking for an AV policy and wondered if anyone had a recommendation.
    If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.

    There's a million and three classic insurers out there. I've always had good experience with Bishop Calway/Peter S Taylor, but they're not the cheapest.

    If it's everyday use and you're not after limited mileage, that may limit your choice.
