thats the place lol

More money than sense i feel, Thats alot to pay for a PH-1 and thats a stupid amount to pay for insurance. I understand your 18 but still.

If you think having a quickish car is worth it fair enough, just hope it doesnt come back to bite you.

LOL - £6.71 a Day insurance........FLOL, hope you did not buy the car on finance either.

no paying cash for it

 

[Bazzon]

Just hope you drive decent miles a day to get you £6.71 s worth :rasp:

mate dont listen to the haters, as long as it makes you happy, even if you paid £10k for it. people on this place are their own worse enemy. i could probably sell my ph1 for £3000 privately but if i tried to sell it on here id be lucky to get £1800 lol at the end of the day its only a number, only money you make a lot more in your life.

i was in the same boat as you at 18, £2600 a year insurance, however i also financed the car costing me an extra £180 a month on top of the £260 a month insurance lol i was working full time on minimum wage at the time lol!!

if i could go back id do it all again, altho id probably buy a ph1 in cash rather than finance like you did

 

[Gally]

I'm sceptical.

Good luck and drive safe.

If you have the cash then go for it. I would have.

You'll learn when you're older it wasn't the greatest idea.

 

[Soot1e]

The insurance costs for you boys is horrendous. :evil:
You all must be very keen 172'ers.
As for that PH1, it's way too much. You really must shop around, there is plenty out there to choose from, don't be in such a huurry!

Not you dude, the OP, not heard anything from him couple days so figured he'd bought it and wrote off in one swift move!

couldnt agree more! at the end of the day its your money and aslong as your happy and you enjoy it then good on you!

I really cant understand why some people on here get so caught up over what someone else is paying.... christ allmighty its not as if its their money so dont listen to them. Car looks sweet and yes it is a tad pricey but you obviously feel its worth it so enjoy!

 

[freemo77]

your just about to turn 18 and after a ph1 172! make sure youve checked insurance first because it will bee an absolute bomb! thats all that stopping me from getting one

 

[Chili Red]

Completely insane insurance costs, but hey it's your money.

Looks in good condition though, and nice colour.
