id love to do this swap, but am worried about insurance!! anyone else on here got a 172 at my age, and if so, how much is insurance and who thru!?

 

[Phill1978]

dont forget you will have to declare those mods also

 

[Clio_Sport]

so how much should i be looking to pay!!?

 

[dynamique_g]

how many years no claims you got? Made any claims? do you live in a rough area?

 

[DH_GTI]

try bell should be about 1500 ish

 

[JuanBoy]

Shame Insurance gunna be sky high, looks like a good PX. Have a gander at http://www.confused.com/ , this lot were give you prices from loads of Insurance company's which should give you a good idea

I'd keep your pug, it looks very tidy.

 

[Clio_Sport]

Yeah love the pug, just fancy a change!!

 

[E11OOT]

m8 you will be hard pushed to get insured at 19...hard enuf at 20(with 2 yrs NBC)! but if you got a spare £2000+ to spend on insurance then go for it!!

 

[benm172]

get it if you can afford insurance pal im 23 3 yrs no claims and i pay£1100 fully comp get some proper power by the way nice 172 and 206.

 

[R20 CWH]

humm, remember petrol costs as well matey you'll be going from 42mpg ish to 32mpg

try directline for quotes

 

[Chili Red]

The 172 looks nice, I don't like the weird numberplate though, it looks illegal? Shame about the scratch too.

Your eBay ad says you now have a company car though, so why would you want to p/x?

 

[ben_p]

i had my 172 when i was 18. had no ncb, and 3 points, paid 3.7k per year.. not to bad eh lol... only dropped by 500notes in the second year

 

[Ad]

Seems a good swap though.

depends on your postcode and NCB as to how the insurance will be.

 

[Big Iain]

pug is very nice mate

 

[Day]

I spy a roll cage.

No chance!

 

[Saxo03]

Good luck getting a decent quote at your age with a company that will accept mods..... i tried...... i failed, looks like its standard for me for about a year.

Can't view e-bay at work but is the 172 the silver one on e-bay with 17's, rollcage etc etc??

If so, he said he has to get rid for insurance reasons..... i think this lil car may look pretty but may have been thrashed! (this is my personal opinion and in no way represents the views of other cliosport members!!! i thank thee!!!!)

 

[Dubai182]

There are a few guys on here who have 172's and under 20. Ben_P was one of them iirc. Try making a post in the insurance section and asking about prices etc

as soon as i looked at that pic i knew it was burnley tesco you can tell straight away

I'm from just over the hill in sabden! nice cars!!!

Insurance is going to be a stunner tho! Try Adrian Flux

 

[Clio_Sport]

ii burnley tesco rules for pics, lol!!

yeah im thinking the clio has been ragged, so gunna giv it a miss!! plus the reg doesnt come up when i try to get it valued on glass's!! bit sus so im gunna leave it!!

ps im getting a p/x as il be getting a compnay car so my girlfriend will be having my car, and she loves clios, so may aswell swap mine for a clio, as shel be driving it!!

 

[Englebert]

With it being modified you'd struggle anyway, i'm 21 and i get turned down for a modified 172 by quite a few companies.

 

[Laura]

im 19 cant find insurance for less that 2.5k on a standart 172 lol

 

[tommyboy]

do it do it! 172 all the way son

 

[tommyboy]

im 19 cant find insurance for less that 2.5k on a standart 172 lol

2400 admiral cheapest I've found, and Im 20........ :dapprove:

 

[chapers]

I bought a Clio 172 yesterday. I am 19 (20 in two weeks). I searched loads for insurance. Best I could find was with Elephant at £2200 - fully comp. I have one year's NCB.

 

[Munson]

Last owner change was 27th May, so he's not had it long.

 

[BREMBO]

If u cant afford insurance, trade the 206 for the 172, sell the 172 and surly u will have made a wee profit.

That guy is a melon, thats for the p/x.

 

[Chewy]

ii burnley tesco rules for pics, lol!!

Yeah you got that right, the lights under there make any car look good

 

[Kinsella]

have you hpi'd it ?

what exhaust is on, if its a normal 182 exhaust it would point to the car being rear ended, cutting away the wheel well etc to fit it - you wouldent cut a wheel well away on a non written off car.

If it is somthing like a K-tec then abit of coin has been spent and its probably a great buy !

just my thoughts
