Got it!
That's all I picked up from the thread anyway pal!
Got it!
I tried this and he is right my insurance went up £50 when I put in 4000 and went down when I put in 10000
PMSL. Surely the counter-argument to those figures is that you're on the road two-and-a-half times as long. Therefore, statistically you're more likely to be involved in an accident? Even when it's not your fault.
I'm sure I read somewhere in my policy that I got a £75 discount if I declared that the Moon was made of cheese. And I can only eat Heinz baked beans on a Tuesday evening, after 7pm. Or else my policy is invalid.

Yeah I am a student with a part time job, I have been saving up for a decent car now for about 1 and a half years. Just annoying that the only thing stopping me from getting one is rip-off insurance company's
Not a fan of the mx5 hahaAll you need is a car with a good chassis, good tyres and good brakes. Do a track day and you will learn that power means nothing without the ability to use it.
I had great fun in a 1.2 clio with sticky tyres. Getting most out of a car is fun.
MX5?
Getting horrible offers on them think I'm settled on this Sri down the road from me thoMk5 Fiesta Zetec S?

Well I'm paying 900 quid to be a named driver ATM on my mums 1.1c2! And I never even get to use it, insurance is just stupid prices at this ageRight ok I'm lying. All insurance quotes are completely different, rendering this thread abit pointless. If you can't afford to insure a car, buy something you can afford to.
Edit: just read you're going to pay £2400 to insure a Corsa. Please book yourself in for a brain scan, to see if there is one there.
I like the idea of a mini but couldn't see myself in one tbh, and no way am I paying 5k for insurance! Anyone know any decent car that I could possible get a quote for under 3k ish?
God I hate Corsas!
Yeaah 2400 for a 1.8 Sri still expenisive tho but been savong for this for a while
It's easy to say from your position to just wait, but I have been driving a 1.1 for almost 2 years now, got no idea how "boffey" got a quote for 3200
Sorry to bump the thread, I felt as this was an active topic and was the best place to post.
On December 5th I renewed my policy, my first full year policy with the Trophy. I am 19, with 2 years NCB. I was quoted £1450.08 and jumped at that price. This was with Elephant, and Admiral were willing to allow me that price on my multi-car policy.
However, as many of you will know... the EU gender directive came into force yesterday (male rates = female rates)... I was advised by my manager at work to search the internet for insurers who were pulling their male rates right down in line with the female rates (as opposed to female rates going up to meet male rates).
I went on Confused.com (owned by Admiral)... and ran my details through. It pulled out a quote of £891.46 with Elephant, and I jumped on the phone.
After a bit of effort I have managed to cancel my whole MultiCar policy, which was incepted on 05/12/2012, and set up a new policy (for my parents, too).
With a multi-car discount my premium is ... £801.79. My parents saved £59.28 in total too on their policies.
My advice... GO ON PRICE COMPARISON SITES, NOW. They are mental to insure me for that.
Oh yeah totally, statistics plays a big part. But surely the first basic decider in how much insurance is going to be, is the power of the car? Not too clued up on it but I'm sure that's the main factor.
Not complaining mind, lol.
Blood hell that's cheap.
