Online quotes and cc's

[StreetPizza]

Ok... I've been looking to buy a 3rd gen rex, the only thing holding me back so far being insurance, the bane of all young motorists, especially those with a taste for speed. Did the usual thing, and checked around the normal sources for online quotes, just to get a rough idea of what I'd be paying. Some were not too bad, others were horrific :)

The only trouble was that they all had the capacity listed as 2354cc, except for automatics, where it was occasionaly listed correctly as 2616...

My question is, if I were to purchase insurance online, would the policy be invalidated by this mistake, or could it be argued that since the third gen RX-7 was only ever available with one sized engine, that it was assumed that the 2354 was simply what the rotary engine was designated as by the insurance company, in the same way that the DVLA likes to call it 2616?

Also, (and I'm assuming that it would be invalidated) what have people found their actual quotes are like compared to online quotes they've got? Are they representative at all, or am I wasting my time online?


Thanks :)

Hi Mate,

Give this company a call tomorrow, you should find they give a nice cheap quote. 2354CC is the Turbo II older shape rx7 the 2616 is the twin turbo rx7.

Ah... I thought it would be something like that, I was wondering if it was a holdover from the old 12a engine... It's just that they had it listed as (if memory serves) 'Turbo Inj 92-' I wasn't too sure about the 'turbo injection' bit, although I suppose it could describe either the TII or the third gen, but the year was fairly definite...

I might have a chat with the people at Chris Knott sometime. I've seen them reccomended on here once or twice, and they're only a 2 minute walk from my house, which is handy :)
