on pistonheads just got this quote

£860...... that is an insanely small amount... yes, 24 year old on a Ferrari F355 Spider.


mmmmmmmmmm...........................
wonder what they,d quote on a cossie?

 

bollox

 

Thats nuts!

Through some sort of owners scheme I take it?

Or something like its in his dads name with him as a named driver maybe?



cant just be a normal quote from a normal company!

read it lads

 

With no fucking no claims discount!

I would imagine its milage limited, but thats not a problem to most folks with ferraris.

 

Quite believe it. My brother is 29 and he pays LESS THAN HALF on his 355 spyder than he did on an E46 M3 Convertible..

Ferrari is on 5000 miles limited policy...

 

Considering at 20 with No NCD and 3 points I can get insured on a 13k Escort Cosworth for £1020 with 13000 miles a year, it doesn't suprise me!

I know its not a Ferrari but its one hell of a quote.

 

Best quote my mate who is 20 could get on his corsa XE was 5K

 

my mates 348 is cheeper than his fiat 20v turbo to insure

 

My Chaser, a 2.5litre twin turbo 150mph+ car as standard, with all mods declared (ie as a 2.6litre twin turbo 400bhp stripped out RWD weapon), is only 45quid more to insure than a standard Sierra GLX for me.

 

i thaught about an audi rs4 estate year ago and got a quote of 800 with 3 years ncb!!!!

 

cant believe some of these quotes

 

sweet...M3 EVO Convertible, 25 with 2 yrs NCD....£1300 fuck it i'm getting a Rarri!!

 

755 quid,,, F355, cf63 postcode 28 years old

 

sweet theres hope for me then. only going to be using my car weekends anyway

how do they track ur milage? mot certificates?

 

you tell them the current millage when you take the policy out

dont worry on a f355 its about a 5 min job to disconnected!¬ but the worrying thing is,,, most havent got the millage they say!

 

My Ferrari 348 costs me £478 fully comp
36 9 years no claims
mind i stayed with my current broker to lazy to ring round

 

My 348 is on my dads company trade policy £400 fully comp...same for the AMG too

Chris how are you finding the 348?

 

Whats the running costs of a ferrari ? servicing etc?

 

can be very expesive! 1000 quid for the belts from a independent ferrari garage

 

Ridiculous!...If you DIY you will ruin value....so not for the faint hearted TBH....my alternator has packed up fortunately we do reconditioning so wont cost more than 80 quid..Ferrari want £600 for a replacement ...my header tank has rotted thru too Ferrari want £400 ...gonna get a alloy one made up hopefully cheaper!!!

BUT its worth it

 

Thought as much

Ive always said i will have one one day, just need to get the house paid off first . Buying the car wont be a major major problem (have to be second hand though) but the service and repairs is the killer by the sounds of it.

Whats it like then? owning one, and how does it compare to driving your cossie about?

Pics please

 

no way! who is that wiv dont believe it cheapest for series 1 2700 under my dad!

 

BakerP....its a proper car although Ford owners will argue this I choose the 348 over the 355 (not because i couldnt afford one) because of the simplicity like no power steering no traction control no fancy bits..as more to go wrong...my one runs 2 ecu's so effectively 2 engines which i think is a good get you home item ..not to mention 20k cheaper so to weigh it up i felt the 348 had better looks providing you put the spacers on to get the same track as the challenge model which really improves the handling...you can get her sideways under full control its great...not overly fast 320bhp V8 with 7800rpm redline mine is chipped and decatted with sports exhaust...so sounds awesome....0-60 about 5.2 secs and 175mph top speed

 

My dad did a quote on a brand new Audi R8 and it came up as £400 fully comp!!.. which is as cheap as chips.. shame the car itself is very expensive

 

That is stunning mate......stunning.

Due you use her often?

Owning one has been a dream since i can remember mate , thanks for the pics .

 

Silly cheap quotes them. Did you know fiat own ferrari so does that mean they are gonna b poo. Ive heard a few times that to do a service morond ferraris the engine has to come out.

 

on a 348/f355/360 the engine normally comes out if it needs a belt change!

early ferraris do fall apart,

 

£762 for a "300bhp" GTiR, 2 Years NCB and 23

Not bad going for me I dont reackon

 

Phill its going sweet although i had to take it back as i had a E6 faut code on the heater (needed new stepper motor)

 

Yes engine needs to come out 4 hours max according dealer i bought mine off
belts were done 3 months ago at a total cost of £1600!!!.. T
hats a full service mine
only need doing every 3 years although most do them at 2 years..

I had my Escort 3 years and the engine was out twice

Trust me its gonna be cheaper to run than the Cossie ever was

 

double post

 

I must be one of the lucky ones cause touch wood my cossie has been ok. I pay 900 quid fully comp for me and my 22 year old girlfriend. I got a quote on my own and it was 525 quid fully comp.

 

Chris go to www.hillengineering.co.uk and get there spacer kit phone paul....it puts the wheels correct and you will notice it handles much better....you get the same track as the 348 challenge car...this was recommended to me from Ferrarichat.com Its top gear..also they do the chrome surrounds for the clocks and the pedal set which i have put on

 

Thx Phil i have just fitted pedals and the alloy surrounds
plus i got the modified gate for the gearchange..

I do notice that the handling is a bit nervous so the spacers smooth is all out??


Phil what size spacers did you get in the end?

 

25mm rear and 15mm front its a great bit of kit you also need the longer wheel bolts which they supply...sorts it all out...just ask Paul there what he recommends

 

now that is gorgeous
