Surely the quote is saved? I've not had a saved quote increase in price.
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.

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.

We might have to move this to the General section.
Home and car insurance are due in the next few weeks (annoying timing, but such it is). The home policy is going up by £3, and car insurance for both cars, with no changes to anything, is dropping £160.41.
That feels like a win to me.

Hmmm, I've just gone through the usual game with the insurance for our motorhome.
The renewal was £70 more than last year which bearing in mind I'm an old fart, haven't claimed and the motorhome is now worth less than last year so it annoys me that they try it on. So I did the usual and ignore all the renewal emails/letters and they phone me just before it is due. After a bit of backwards and forwards they agree to cover for last years premium

Home insurance renewal time. There has been a change on our policy from last year stating that emergencies relating to the underfloor heating would not be covered. I take this to mean that if the underfloor heating should fail we would not be covered for a repair to the heating, but if our underfloor heating should malfunction in some manner which causes damage to the structure of the house (i.e. flooding) we would be. However it is supiciously difficult to get the broker to confirm this in writing which is making me kind of dubious.
