10 k plus insurance

[perfectionist]

Nephew passed his driving test on tuesday, he's 17 and i gave him my trusty Starlet SR.

BUT! Insurance quotes are coming in between 17 and 20 grand

Although Adrian Flux cut it in half to 10 grand


Got 1 call this morning and i just laughed down the phone when the bloke said he could save us upto 10% on the 17 grand quote.

Suppose it's a polite way of saying ''feck off''

[pikey-pete]

[turbo-tone]

damn thats a joke!
hope he can find cheaper.
compairison site maybe?

Believe me we've tried everything, poor lad's stressed out.
Got everything but can't get insured

Not fair at all on a new driver with no bad history

Try bell my first car was a swift Gti at 17 and I was paying 1200 full comp

How long ago was that?

I think it's got more to do with post code and age of driver nowadays.

Starlet SR was really expensive for my brother as well.

He ended up with a mini on a 10 month policy with elephant. Wasn't to bad as he had a stage one kit, exhaust and alloys added for a small amount which made the car a bit more fun.

Hmmm i'll try a different car

Get him a Yaris i think theyr a group 2 insurance plus ideal car for a first time driver

[pikey-pete]

What about one of those black box things there now offering?

That was 6 years ago for me so yeh things have changed, plus the Isle of Wight gets really cheap insurance.

Fiat Cinquecento came in at 7k to insure.

I'll try a Yaris.

Were looking into black box thingy now.

I might even try a different address to see how much of a difference it makes depending on where you live.

Its all about the FORD KA for new young drivers.
Just over a year ago EG dx was £1600, KA £1000.

Peugeot 306 diesel are pretty good too, group 5. HDi is group 5 too.
