Insurance for Conti car and VW Passat question

[Guniang]

Ok guys...Just a few questions...

 

Will insurance for conti cars be higher den Jap Makes?

 

Cos i heard for insurance premiums, honda premium is higher den its siblings toyota n nissan blah blah....

 

Den wad the diff between the VW Passat CC and VW passat?

My friend bought a BMW 320i convertible from PI recently.

As she is relatively young 25yrs old......many ins never even want to quote for her! Only AXA quoted a ridiculous high price.

So no choice she get her elder Brother, age 38, to buy insurance on the car. Her brother paid $2800+ without NCB discount to AXA(cheapest).

Wow, that's kind of expensive for a 2L sedan isn't it? It's not in the sports car category anyway and a 320 statistically don't have as many accidents as, say WRX, Evo or the likes.

In the past Insurance already pin point what brands will have higher insurance cover. I recall BMW & Saab to be a few in the list. Anything that has a turbo, a lot of insurance coy will avoid. Does not matter the car is Conti or Japanese.

 

Difference between VW Passat CC and VW passat? I think if you Google you will find out.

Not true. The insurance on my Volvo T5 is lower than some jap non-turbo family saloon.

True, Insurance for my previous S60 and current XC90 pretty decent, on par or slightly lower than a few Japanese makes.

[Tireburner]

Oh ya...how much then would be the insurance for a 320 sedan?

[RadX]

and honestly....these cars are safer...and somehow the drivers they attract too tend to be more of the ahem....cautious type?? I ahve yet to see an xc90 in a pile-up, etc

[RadX]

look at those pileups, guarantee they are

 

1. lancers

2. rollas

3. nissans...

 

i am not stereotyping...but prolly cos these are the masses on the roads..and thus attract the 'better not say' mentalities

 

ok end of OT

[Kangadrool]

It's a myth that conti cars are expensive to insure. Some, especially those not "zhngable" ones are dirt cheap to insure.

[Akula]

Yup, plus significantly lesser on the roads.
