Motors Insurance on Audi A6 2.5TDi for 17year old - where?

I have read countless other insurance threads etc but this one is a bit different i think...any ideas appreciated.

Where would you go to insure a 17year old provisional driver on an M reg 2.5 Tdi Audi A6?
If it could be temporarily for a couple of months that would be great.

Any ideas appreciated. Most wont touch it with a abrge pole, even though its nearly 10yrs old, diesel, and an older driver will be in car @ all times as they are provisional driver.

 

I just wouldn't recommend it, unless you move to the US.
Also, I think you need a fuly licensed driver of several years to supervise a provisional license holder.

 

Not going to happen.

no chance mate, no chance

 

i had trouble getting insurance on a 2002 toyota avensis.i think the best quote i got was £2000. at the mo i'm buying my own car and insuring that.i'm trying to get a 1litre micra but thats still about £1500(fully comp this time tho).

 

The two cheapest mainstream insurance companies I used we're Admiral and More Than. They were both about the same.

Failing that, get a copy of Max Power, and call up the specialist companies at the back. You might want to check out Adrian Flux. *Everyone* raves about them.

 

I agree with the others it will be either insanly high like thousands, thousands and thousands again or they will say no.

Best thing is to try many places and see.

Good Luck.

Why do you want to get insured on such a expencive car while you have your provisional licence?

 

No would be the answer you will hear ringing in your ears from the phone line.

Either that or laughter.

 

Lol, you wouldn't want to pay for the insurance, if you are actually quoted one!

Unless the "older" driver was part of a huge multinational company, and the car was a company car, then, yeah, you would get insurance for that. Anything else, as Slick13 said, "No" is the mantra.

However, if you managed to get an insurance for it, let me know?

 

I got quoted 7grand roughly for a 51, 2.5L TDI A4 so i dont think its really worth spending that much money on insurance

 

in 2 words norfolk enchance
My brothers girlfriend is 25 and just passed her test , she had major troubles insuring a 1985 audi 80 1.6td for much under £1750 so @ 17 on a 2.5l tdi i'd say your looking at being told nope an awful lot, for the cost of any quotes u may get you could go out buy a cheap 1 liter micra, fill it up with petrol, tax it and insure it for a year

 

if you do get insurance - post the best quote - it'll be interesting! Adrian Flux are quite good if you're a boy racer or have a proper modified car - not sure about your situation, but would be interested to know! I've always found norwich union to be good.

 

for the price i got quoted on my dad's car i AM buying a 1litre micra,insuring it and have enough money left over to buy petrol for 3170 miles.


EDIT:try norwich union they are "cheap as chips"(as david dickinson would say)

 

www.churchill.com always gave me more real quotes... but if it's a more performancey version (eg... anything RS, R etc.. 'Ford Focus RS') they want you to ring up...

 

Getting somewhere....
£1400 fully comp with NU, named second driver as provisional...

Why?
We already have 2 cars as a family, and i feel three is just excess. Plus i couldnt buy anything reasnoble, in my eyes, and its just a hassle with extra MOT/tax etc.
It might cost a bit more, but it will be less hassle i think. And its not such an expensive car if you compare it to a new fiesta or similar new small hatch e.g. clio

I might go for it but probably after the summer, as im away for ~5weeks.
But... downsides to learning in a bigger car?

 

well, it's bigger so harder to manouvre (sp?). just need to think more about where your car sticks out.

 

Glad to see you got a reasonable quote

as to the downside of learning in a big car, theres not many,
put it this way if you can reverse park the bugger, you'll have no problems when you get you own car which will prabaly be considerably smaller

just be aware the audi has abs and all other sorts of gizmo's to do the work for you so when you get your own car just remember that you may not have abs which considerably increases the stopping distances,

I got hit up teh arse by a young lady last yr who had just passed her test in a car with abs, bought a fiesta (with no abs) and didn't know what to do when the wheels locked up

what can you do..... ?

 

make her offer you head if you don't tell the insurance companies, then make the call whilst shes doing it. hehehehehe

 

nah she was a bit of a minger her passenger was fit though
also way 2 young i'm nearly old enuf to be her dad she was only 17

 

The age of the car is nothing to do with it, the fact that it's a 2.5 litre V6 turbodiesel putting out 140bhp may have something to do with the high insurance premiums for a learner driver - I'm a 31 year old with full NCB and have held a full licence for 14 years and was quoted £425 for a 96 TDi SE 2.5 that i bought for £2500

My 2000 Pug 406 HDI with 90 Bhp was only £328 to insure fully comp.

If you have to go for an A6, try the 1.9, its only 110bhp but is cheaper to insure.
