Re: What Car Do I Buy???!
 

OK! you can get your insurance, or your kids down by adding an oldie on as a second driver, NO IDEA WHY THIS WORKS! but i got £842 now as apposed to £1100, this is with admiral so shop around see what you can find.

Hth!!! :)

Re: What Car Do I Buy???!
 

Now that I have been forced to get a 'family car':cry: I am paying £450 fully comp....but it is a bit sporty (2litre Honda Stream VTEC)

Re: What Car Do I Buy???!
 

You could always try taking your advanced test with the Insitute of Advanced Motorists - that tends to bring insurance premiums down, Ramrod. I think that RoSPA do similar courses too.
Mind you , it is a bit sporty!!! Nice!

Re: What Car Do I Buy???!
 

Good advice. Maby when I retire!:D

Re: What Car Do I Buy???!
 

noooooo - you get cheap insurance then anyway!!!
My mum pays £12 A MONTH for fully comp on her 1.4Si Fiesta!!!
(Thats with SAGA if anyone is interested - but you have to be over 50!!)

Re: What Car Do I Buy???!
 

lol, When I was 18 years old I had a Mini clubman 850cc (automatic):D . Fully comp was £90/year and I had hardly any no claims bonus!

A friend who went in for her IAM test said she got completely sick of her advanced driving lessons. She described them as 'driving everywhere at 30 while some old biddy criticises you.' But then I think she thought 'advanced driving' meant learning how to do handbrake turns.

I bought an R reg Saxo VTS in the end :)

Re: What Car Do I Buy???!

Re: What Car Do I Buy???!
 

I pick it up tomorow :) its green and its fast.

Re: What Car Do I Buy???!
 

Does it have a 4" exhaust, blackout windows and ground lighting?

Remember before you put in the audio system put dynamat (or the spray on equivilant) in as many places as you can. The improvement in sound quality, and percieved improvement in build quality are immense. You'll need a roll for each door a couple for the boot and if you are really keen and pull the seats and carpets out another 4 rolls there. Makes the interior as quiet as a Merc and as such means the sounds sound better.

£1100 insurance on a 306 S16!!!!!!! you gotta be having a laugh.

I did a quote a few months back for a laugh on a TVR cerbera. It came in at £1000 fully comp with protected no claims.
I'm only 27 years old!!!!! That was through Direct Line.

I have a friend who has just sold the 306 S6 (6 speed gear box version, allegedly a lot quicker than the S16) and he was only paying around £500 fully comp plus he was only 24 at the time.
