What insurance group is an LE? #269507 04/01/2007 18:10 04/01/2007 18:10

Anonymous Unregistered A	In a nutshell – is the LE modified or standard? I might be wrong; but from my limited (at present) knowledge & experience, it seems that the 20v turbo is group 19, but I have seen car dealers advertising the LE as group 20 in their adverts. When I went online with my present insurer, Elephant, the list of possible models included the 20VT, the 20VT plus model 1999 onwards, but no mention of the LE. It was the same story when I tried ringing them; - only the 2 choices. It just so happens that the LE I am buying is a 1998. Therefore it doesn’t ‘fit’ as a plus model (too old); so should I just insure it as a normal 20v turbo? The price difference for the plus model is about an extra £100. My insurance company also said that they would give me ‘market value’ for the car if it was written off. I can therefore assume, I suppose, that I wouldn’t get back anything like what I paying for the LE if the worst were to happen! Many thanks for the advice & guidance, Gary.

It went something like this: me: "call it a plus then" Insurer: "what year is the car?" me: "1998" Insurer: "the plus is listed as 1999 onwards, so it can't be" ...and so it went on, round & round in circles! Mind you, insuring it as a standard 20VT does save me £100!

Anonymous Unregistered A	have you tried just giving them the reg plate details and let them pull the info off the computer? for ref if you go onto the direct line website (and probably a load of others too) you can enter your reg.plate and it will automatically tell you your exact make and model.. hope this helps
