[blacksheep]

Cool, i was looking at that one. I'd wait until buying a car until the end of the month when they're gagging to sell it. If you're P/Xing i would offer £7,500 max.

[Dan Page]

[Dan Page]

nowt yet, they are coming off tomorow and will be up for sale, as will all the other bits....

 

[Dan Page]

cant get insured on it, wont be having it.

 

[E-ray_172]

thats a shitter mate

 

[Fletcher]

Thats in good condition, the wheels look very tidy.

Sorry to hear that they wouldn't insure you mate.

 

[Dan Page]

before i went out and put my deposit on it tried a few insurance companys and elephant said £2200 so at a stretch i would pay this so went out and found one.

Now 2 weeks later called them up to put it through and they say because i dint save that quote its gonna be £3500 WTF!? Tried over 25 insurance companys and cheapest i can get it is £3200 now, cant really afford that
ahh well, spose next year i can afford a 182 and will have another years no claims...

 

[Rich]

Gutting chap

 

[Chris1.4RT]

Son of a b****!

Gutted for ye mate.

Just come on this thread to congratulate ye but so sorry to have to commiserate you instead.

Just bought a 53 reg 172 myself yesterday. Even at 29 with 6 yrs ncb it's costing me £750 a year.

Don't let it spoil yer dreams, you'll get there in the end. Took me ages to get in the position I am now.

(by the way, have ye tried elephant and putting a female second driver on? often knocks 10-15% off quote, why not up yer excess and even lower the mileage if ye can)

 

[Dan Page]

yeah i have tried that chris and still over £3200 with elephant, i will have one!!!!

 

[Christopher]

gutted for you mate.

you try adrian flux?

i pay £1400 fully comp for my RS-1

4 yrs NCB, clean licence and Pass Plus.

 

[E-ray_172]

give it a few days and try elephant again but on another name then you can switch it back to your name when you call up.

 

[Jonaldinho]

Was about to congratulate after page 1 of the thread, Unlucky mate

 

[gazcaddy]

Have you tried Admiral? Greenlight?

When I 1st got my 182 i was 22 with 0 years no claims, no accidents or convictions and it was £1250 for 10 month bonus accelerator policy

Hope you get it sorted

 

[GarethM]

as carbon says adrian flux are really good, i pay £800 fully comp on my RS-1 with 3yrs NCB.
