Exige S : One of the most expensive cars to insure

"One of the worst risks according to the ABI is the Lotus Exige S, with a 20U rating, but as mentioned above, with the correct level of security added to the standard car’s specification the insurance premium may not be too bad, especially when you consider that most of these cars will live a low-mileage and pampered life and anyway, it’s only a 1.8-litre engine, though supercharged admittedly!

There is a surprisingly well informed review of the S1 Exige on that Yahoo Motors site.

I found myself reading it, smiling and nodding…

Did you mean this one:

Lotus EXIGE (2000 - 2002)

Weird how they only give it 3 stars for depreciation, mine’s worth more than 50% of what I paid for it FIVE years ago. I thought that was pretty darn stonking.

Did you buy it new? (Seriously, I can’t remember, sorry).

Yup, one of the last.

This article dosnt make any sense. My Exige S cost an additional �50.00 per year to insure than a standard Exige. This is through Admiral Insurance. Apart from the standard alarm/imob, I have a Tracker Monitor installed, and the insurance company wernt even interested in that!

This article dosnt make any sense.

Ding! Agree entirely.

Too many factors affect the quote for a particular individual - all you can do is check with your Ins Co/Broker before you buy any car!

Does anyone know if holding a race licence in any way affects your quote ?
