The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Just bought a 98 FTO GX Aero, and as was already insured with Quinn went to them first for a quote - no joy - they 'don't insure the FTO'...
FYI - if you are already a customer and you buy an FTO - they have to insure you. I found this out too late though.

No matter - got insurance for under 900 Euro elsewhere....

Firstly Gwyn, welcome to the forums

Did you speak to the ombudsman about it by any chance?

Would be interested to know your criteria and who you got insured with.

Good news.

Please make the cheque for €200 payable to FTO Ireland Owners Club.
Glad to be of service!

That's awesome..

When I tried the same thing with Hibernian they quoted me 5k...so I declined thier generous offer.

Great news Kona, fair play for not backing down.
This is very interesting though, QD must have some internal policy whereby if you insist they quote you, they have to do so.

Has anyone else insisted on a quote from QD only to be turned down?

CJ

I didn't insist as such, just kept phoning them, getting put through to different people and getting slightly different responses... eventually one of them was 'yes, no problems'...

none of the quotes make any sense to me at all , looks like their picking the quotes out of a hat to me......?
i cant get insured in the fto anywhere, got a quote off axa and they quoted 6800, whit a speed tracker attached!!
what do they take me for.
because im only 21, had to find another way of getting insured in it.
not the most legal way but im still insured...
