How much insurance will I pay?

I am a 60-year-old male with a clean driving licence and full no claims discount. Can anyone give me a rough estimate what insurance will cost? The car is a 2007 Jaguar XKR 4.2 with 37,000 miles on the clock and a value of €30,000. 

How best to check insurance prices for a car?

I am thinking of buying a second hand car and have started to browse online. Apart from the specs of car and the price, a big determining factor to buy the car or not will be the price of the insurance premium. However, if I want to know the premium I have to go through the rather painful process of filling in online quotation forms. Painful and time consuming. Is there a faster way to check the insurance premium online for any given car I am interested in?

Thanks

My Audi A6 was rear-ended. Help...

I want to insure my three classic cars...

Hi,

I want to insure my three classic cars: a 1989 Mercedes-Benz 190e 2.0-litre petrol, a 1994 BMW 520 2.0-litre petrol and a 1996 Peugeot 306 XAD van, a 1.9 diesel. Can you tell me the best insurance company to try (not a broker) and also if you could give me a value on the three cars?

I can't get insurance on my old Honda!

Hi,

Is it legal to increase the price of an insurance premium times five? I was paying €400 last year (seven years NCB plus for 55 per cent discount) for a 1999 Honda Accord. I've got letter from my current insurer (AIG), with a new quote for €1,998. When I rang them, they told me the reason was that my car is too old! Car passing NCT every year, no problems whatsoever, no convictions either. Another two broker companies and three individual insurers have declined me for the same reason.

Any ideas?
