V6i SE

I have an insurer saying they can only find a Coupe (2002 onwards) V6i se.

I queried the 'i SE' but they couldn't find anything else. Is that correct? I cannot find anything referring to the 'i SE'.

I have an 05 Gen 3 V6

Yeah UK.

Thats what I said to them, they tried to create the car manually on their system but came back and said I was mis-informed and that they searched the thatcham database and no such car exists.

Whatever it describes the car as on your V5 should be what they see!

Its Direct Line, so they should have their heads screwed on. Apparently not.

Haven't received the new one from the dvla yet, but it did say Coupe V6, not V6i SE.

Well it won't show V6i SE because they don't exist.

Haha I know. Such a daft problem. Surely someone, somewhere must have insured a coupe v6 with DL.

Cheers for confirming anyway, guys.

Yeah, this only came about because I want to temporarily add the coupe to my other cars insurance.

Cheapest quote at the moment for my coupe is Aviva, including the sponsored ones.

Not necessarily true Dan. The V5 can only show what the car was originally registered as (unless changed)
The AFRL registration used to be manually inputted by a dealership's Administrator, so it is possible that a mistake could have been made at that point.
I have seen it a hundred times.
When I bought my SIII the V5 came through as a TSIII Automatic!!
Obviously I sent it back to DVLA to get it changed.

Ha don't worry I wouldn't ask for them or anything I was just going to ask you to double check so I could argue with them some more!

Just an update - called Hyundai to confirm the existence of a V6i SE. As we all knew - it doesn't.

Went onto DL website to see if all Coupes have the wrong trim. They all have an 'i' after the engine size, and it looks like someone mistakenly put 'SE' instead of 'V6'.

Called DL to complain and get it sorted, only to be told the guy who originally set the quote up had done it wrong. Turns out if they can't find your car or there's something wrong, they can literally take your word for it and overtype what's on the database.

The end.

Both agents read it out on the phone as an 'i'.
