Because the business model is NOT to take risks, and, NOT to have claims, or, at least, to have as few as possible.

Very easy to access on the Anus, and being a hybrid the scumbags get more cash for it because it'll be cleaner.
Massively over priced
Iffy build quality
unreliable electrics
fragile engines
Easy to steal
and you can’t insure them
but people still buy them

A subsidiary of LV declined to renew the insurance on a Ford Mustang (American import, none of that UK ecoboost nonsense) I owned a few years ago. I went to a different broker and they got insurance via the very same subsidiary. I kept the car until a few months before the insurance was due again and then sold it as I didn’t want to go through the same thing again.
Is there anyone else out there that will quote you on your Auris?r

If you have insurance declined is hat the same for getting a quote on a ridiculous car for instance ..
I don't think so, I think is someone more limited???🤔

I wohkd read it as the cwr being declined, not the owner.
But insurers quite literally make it up as they go along.

Ever think about a career in sales and marketing?
Happened to our neighbour and as his drive has a slope they had no need for a jack. In day light in full view of the house across who quickly went out. Only to see them driving off they are so quick less then minute and it's was all over.

Why do people still buy them? Probably the celeb thing. You might know Doug DeMuro in the US for his YouTube car videos. He had his 2006 Rangie for some years bought with a 'bumper to bumper ' warranty which paid out more than the car is worth .Massively over priced

Unfortunately you’ve hit the nail on the head. They all want to appear as if they’re players, even if they can barely afford the lease.
About 15 years ago one of my business partners contributed himself and ran one as a company car, he had to switch his mortgage to interest only to make the payments and cover the company car tax. I took a Golf GTi instead and our company paid me the difference as it was way below my allowance.

No. The letter specifically states “you will not have to say that you have been refused insurance because this is our business decision”
That's good 👍
