172 insurance.... Ouch!!

[maff]

Iv got 1.2 16v clio, y reg. It only costs me £290 a year insurance fully comp.

I love the car, love clios full stop. Until, i saw a W reg 172 sport, mmmmm!

He said i could part x mine to get it, oh yeah im excited.

Luckily i checked insurance first, £4302.99!!!!!!

blooody hell

£290 is very very cheap tho..

 

[KDF]

try tesco.. they are quite good.

 

[Daz]

I have found more and more people are giving me saner quotes - just because I put 2 years driving experience.. but no NCD.

I can get a quote on a Williams now.. never could before - not even a 16v..

Daz.

 

[maff]

Madness.

ok im 24, 5 years experience, 4 yearsNCD

I it will prob be less again next year, but still £4 gs is abit much.

Im just sulking now

lol

 

[Chad]

E sures supposed to be one of the cheapest at the mo.......priveledge aint too bad either

 

[paddymph]

shop about, youll get that to a grand if u spend all day on the phone, its all about technique and not coming over a a nob.

i went for a 1.4 16v as i had been scared off with insurance for bigger ie £2300 for a 2.0 Fto.

i had been driving under my parents insurances on their cars for years so was shocked when my insurers Norwich Union gave me a 5 years ncd as i had been driving accident free with them with my parents cars.

turns out i could get insured for a cup for £625 full comp, legal exp.

4 Grand No way! Try Tesco, DirectLine, e-sure, bell direct, Admiral, Halifax

 

[norfolkminis]

It all depends on the area you live in. Im in norfolk 24yr old ,Full NCD, Full Comp. £600 with Direct line. Cars a MK1 172.

Try for an online quote first, saves ringing around.

Liverpool Victoria are meant to be good!

 

[jonnyboy]

with your spec m8 you shoulf be paying about £700 tops. Try direct line.

 

[Illusion]

Mate, thats way too much!!!............

Try Adrian Flux And Tesco,

give http://www.confused.comwww.confused.com a go aswell

Im 21 with No No-Claims. Mines £2300 full comp, and the Willys a group 17 motor while the 172 is 16, so youll be able to get a much cheaper quote than 4K

You just gotta shop around

Also I heard Renault Insurance are suppose to be pretty good, or is that just a load of poo?

 

[cuptastic]

lol

19 no ncb 2 accidents 1800 fully comp on my cup

 

[norfolkminis]

adrian flux arent even worth phoning. They give cheap quotes but when you take a policy up it goes up!! and mates have had problems with claims with them.

 

[mo--]

i must me too old for them to worry, 31 £480 from direct line with 5yrs no claim for my new cup, 11 points though, very scary.

 

[maff]

Well, tried around, got just over three grand!!

Most wouldnt even quote me!

never mind, just have to wait another few years!! ha ha,

 

[Mikey16vClio]

NO WAY!

U havnt tried enough, Tesco will be under 1500 unless u live in the centre of Liverpool or summat. Tried Direct Line?

Get the 172!

 

[Moby]

thats a scandal for insurance - ive got a cup and Im only 22! Im only paying £1300 with 2 young drivers + dad - Ive only had my license 18 months!!!

Got a 5 yr NCB with Vauxhall tho - just so that they would keep my business - why not try them - you dont need a vaux. to use em.

 

[maff]

Ill have a bit more of a look, I have a suspicion they dont like the area that i live. plus parking it on the street probably aint all that good either.

So, if the insurance fails, then im movin, i will have a 172.

what areas are cheap, prob cornwall where there are not so many people i spose.

 

[maff]

Just had an idea, how about i rake the guts out of my engine till it breaks then transplant a 172 in there, customize it a bit more and then insure as a custom car!!! gotta be cheaper!! think im being stupid now!

whats the difference between a 172 and a cup, i just assumed they were the same thing.

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

Im 21, with 1 years NCB, insured with Renault Insurance.

I currently have a 1.2 16v, for which im paying £375 p/a

I got a quote from them for a 172, £1100

Not bad at all imo

EDIT: thats all fully comp btw

 

[White16valver]

Avoid Adrian Flux like the plague - theyll give you a really cheap quote over the phone and then, miraculously, the excess on the form is double what you said.

Not good.

Cheap, but customer service sucks the fat one...
