ph1 Vee insurance.... im not 17.

[nathanH]

Im 22, 4 yrs NCB, live in a low crime rated post code, garaged, 10k a year, cars worth 11k. cant seem to get a premium below £1536 with a £250 excess(current insurance company NFU) and apparently its a group 17!? though it was 20.
No I know its all risk assesment etc, and i am only 22, but £1500, would pay 1200 at a push.

Anyone got any feedback from different insurance companys, what worked for you.... age and premuim would be nice to.

nathan

just to add, I pay 500 on the 172

 

[Bailey_1260]

:nono:Get the mark one done first! lol

 

[nathanH]

it can wait

 

[Da]

TBH at under 25 I think £1500 is about right. If you were 25+ (as I am) £1200 would be more realistic.

AFAIK the ph1 is grp20 as is the ph2 V6.

[Fred@BTM]

Mines £700 f/c i'm 26 though, with a damm Romford postcode.

All vee's are group 20 & I found that there was no difference in insurance whether I said it cost 12k or 18k.

 

[nathanH]

best be moving to scotland then. I'll give those suggested companys a ring then.

Also, fuel, im used to a £200 a month bill on fuel, safe to say that that will increce by 50%

Aberdeen is the cheapest place in the UK for insurance apparently. f**k knows why, its a ghetto.

What mpg do you get ??

I was averaging 20.5 (or so) in the vee, I do open it up every now again
I'd never reset the computer, but I did the other day & I got it up to 28 with a mix of motorway driving & crawling in motorway traffic, so it wasn't that bad really.

I'm under 25 (I'm 24) and I got a quote through Elephant for £700 on a mk2 vee. Maybe just an advantage of being a girl

 

[philthy]

I was 1200 on my mk1 vee at 21 with no NCB, 2 named drivers

 

[nathanH]

i normally average 29mpg. use £50 a week, 250 miles to a tank sometimes more.
Also whats the cost of having the cam belts changed?

nathan

 

[nathanH]

bump

 

[Ali]

Buy a vee with the belts replaced! Put it that way!

 

[nathanH]

I know its expensive, also, clutches, do they seem to eat them?

www.v6clio.net

lots of info on there.

 

[nathanH]

tried it mate, registered twice now and each time i get sent a validation email it doesnt work. gave up.


that was cliov6ownwers or something like that. just registered for the above site. cheers for that scottish.

 

[DougClio16v]

£2848.95 fully comp on a V6 with admiral lol. I didn't even think they would quote me!!

21 with 1 year NCB in low crime rate area.

It's £800 cheaper for me if I bought a Nissan 350z which costs more in value lol. £2043.07. What I don't get is a 2004 reg CTR costs the same insurance as the 350z, yet the Nissan has a bigger engine.. How does that work lol.

Im actually suprised I can get insured on these cars, shame I can't afford them!!

Pm'd Nathan.

A bag of sand mate!! not cheap im afraid

 

[mossyv6]

The clutches are a known weakness but drive the vee with respect and dont do 7000 rpm launches and you should be ok.

shame for the person that bought mine off me

 

[Fred@BTM]

the clutch is fine as long as you preload it first mines on 54K on the original clutch

whilst the engine and box are out getting the cambelt and waterpump done whack a new clutch in too (£180 IIRC)

 

[nathanH]

on a private sale, how much negotiation is there is price with a car that hasnt had its belts done? there a re few tidy examples around 30-40k for the 10k mark. not getting to excited yet as insurance still to be sorted.

 

[mossyv6]

For a Mk 1 Vee with 30-40k and NO cambelt done 10 grand is a fair price as Mk1 Vee's with cambelt done are fetching about 11000 and upwards as the mileage drops.

 

[ForceIndia]

Doesn't sound too bad, I'm paying 700 for a 306 rallye with 5 years NCD, no convictions, 1 accident. Rip-off.

 

[stu-172]

Try stickin ur mum on as a named driver! Cut mine by a third. Don't mean she's ever gonna drive the 172 tho!
