The quote was saved when I checked a couple of days later but was greyed out when she bought the car 10 days later!

It does seem tricky if you buy a new car and need a new policy!
I had a similar thing happen when I bought my 4 series in 2021. Got a decent quote, bought the car a few days later, went back to accept the quote and it jumped up a few hundred quid!

Last years premium with Aviva £388.35
Renewal with Aviva £562.97

An increase of £174.62

Found for £447.93 with 1st central, a saving of £115.04 over auto renewal, but still an increase of £59.58 over last years policy

1st Central are on a roll at the mo - I insured my Jag with them for £100 less than everyone else. This happened a few years back with my M135i too, all of a sudden they were loads cheaper.
You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.

esure wanted to go from £458.76 to £639.84. I've talked to the over the last couple of years and they've come down to the same as the quotes I've been having elsewhere. This time they dropped to £590, then to £560. with a total of £750 excess

Nutshell have quoted £360 with £500 excess and using go compare I've got £250 excess cover. Unsurprisingly, I've gone for them.

I was chatting to my neighbour. 34, male, zero no claims, 2 years driving and his first car is a 18 year old diesel C class.

He's paying £360 as well only his is per month.
