How do painted badges look 'cheap' ? Tbh I think the chrome looks cheap and tacky
I've not spent much on my 1.2 and I think it looks decent, I just got cheapish springs for mine instead of coilovers, while I'm saving for a 172.
No matter what we all say on here, if they have decided its getting 5 doors, then its getting 5 doors. live with it.
also that twingo looks ALOT better than the first one. with or without the spots. although it would look better with just normal headlights like the edited image ^
Going to save up for a few more weeks then take the plunge and buy a 172 :)
managed to get tpft insurance for 2.2k
just need to save another 600 or 700 :)
Yes I was looking at the zetec S. Ill maybe have a look for one at the weekend again, how much do they sell for, any faults or anythng like that to look out for?Thanks again for the info guys!
im just sick of it, its got 114k on it and the paintwork is getting tattie.
i want a nice car that i can look after and keep clean and shiny.
and also faster than a 1.2!!
just tried fiddling with the quotes, depending on where you park the car, it goes from 2.9k which is parked on the street up...
ive not even bothered looking for quotes on a 1.4 or 1.6 because im 1300 in my own name on my 1.2. also dont really want to pay 2 or 3k for a nice clean 1.4 - 1.6 clio when you can buy a 172 for that money, just cant do that!
yeah that credit card idea actually sounds good but the best quote ive had in my own name for a ph2 (which i'd rather) has been around 2.9k and tbh thats just silly. so i wont be getting one just yet.
i may do that for another, smaller engined car though, saves a good 3-400 quid on some quotes...
Yeah they are coming up cheapest... but they only do annual and i dont have the cash atm :/
I can get it cheap in my mothers name but f**k that, i want to build up no claims so ill just keep the 1.2 for now and save my arse off till i can afford to pay it. annoying.
theres a boy i work with...
That 4.5k was a ph2 172. Some of those companies only insure 21+ and some only do anual. I can't afford annual atm. Thanks for the info wilsonm3, I'm not really that keen on those MGs though. Ill stick with the 1.2 for a while I guess.Till I save 4.5k LOL
yeah i guessed it would be longer, ive still got a bit of saving to do as i'd like to be able to have a bit left over for simple mods and my deposit for the insurance!
plenty time to search about for a decent enough example!
Alright i see, any info on the difference between the different models? ph1 and ph2? they are classed in the same year, 2000 to 2003 so is there a difference in price?
i didnt know this... ive just been looking on the search engines :s
ill defo phone up though.
also another option, what about third party, fire and theft? is that a big no no?
im 19, no ncb, passed my test march the 1st, 2010.
A budget of around 2k to buy the car with but im still in the process of saving.
No i havent tried phoning anyone because i thought it would be more expensive because you'd lose the online discount, but ill defo give it a go.
i was looking at...
Hi there, i'll be looking for a new car in the near future, but i dont know what to look for.
got to be a hatchback, sporty and not too expensive.
anything newer than 2002, in good condition and a max engine size would have to be a 1.6 16v due to insurance.
any ideas?
ive been thinking of a...
