A mate of mine passed his test about 4 months ago and bought a saxo with a full kitted 1.4 it cost him £2500 3rd party but he wants to sell to buy a S1 how much do u think it will cost him to get it insured and do u know any cheap places to get it insured
RST

 

1.4 french chavmobile - £2500 tpft
1.6 turbo hot hatch - not lookin good

 

yer i know but can he get i on classic car insure at 17
RST

 

I dout he'd get insured on it!

This ''mate'' isnt you by any chance!?

 

think you have to be 25 for classic mate

 

Doubt you'll get insured for less than £2500


And an S1 as a first car, good luck

 

no chance

 

No mate i anit going to be driving for anther year and half he wants a ford but he wants some thing a bit quick to
RST

 

I would say a small fortune mate, because unfortunately young inexperienced people have accidents in powerfull cars (relative)

I have a guy work for me banned 155mph in a 30 in a supercharger Prelude and he can not see why he was banned = moron


Good look finding cheap insurance though cause if he has more brain cells then most of us when we were his age he will drive smartly


Cheers Mike

 

yer he will prob smash it up any way
He came southend with me and my dad couple of weeks ago and he just loves S1 he is going to come to the next passionford meet at southend to make his mined up if he is going sell the saxo or not as it stands him in 10K with insure and wat he has done to it
RST

 

i paid £2500 for my first car, a xr3i (tho all mods declared) so good luck with an S1

 

tell him to keep his paxo for a few more years

 

10k on a Saxo good way of wasting money

 

i got a stage three saff cossie and im only 20 im payin £2200 insurance,im insured with sabre insurance

 

Someone told him that a xr3 and rst are in the same group is this true

 

i had an s1 for my first car and it cost me £4300 to insure it

then a wrote it off a week later

 

3i's and RST's are about 1 group difference iirc, so yea, oh and I'd say he aint got a hope in getting any insurance company to insure him!

 

how long ago
RST

 

dont think he has any chance of insuring it tbh, he is 17, doesnt even have a years experience and now wants a car with a turbo.

Tell him to kep the saxo for another 2 years to build his NCB and experience and then get one, insurance will still be high then but at least he would be able to insure it.

 

Yer i will tell him
He only wants to sell the saxo because it is to low so u cant take it any where so he wants a S1 to it anit low but looks the nuts
RST

 

what about a 22yr old, first car, new driver?

 

£3k with zenith.fully comp but with £1000 excess and £2.3k tpft
still better than 2.5k for a paxo

 

oh aye and thats saying its parked on a drive and got a tracker fitted if hes got a garage could be cheaper

 

For my series1 i paid £3000 at 18 tpft, not looking good for 17 yr old!! that was with zenith!

 

I cannot believe people pay 2.5k to insure a car

I'd sooner walk

 

dave says youd be £1500 fully comp roughly
can you tell im bored lol
now get yer finger out dave
would be cheaper for a 325isport

 

Yer he has a drive and most S1 have tracker prob anyway do u have the number
cheers RST

 

Good luck

 

well it is his money if he wants rap it around the tree it is his prob the saxo is worth £6K and he has paid £2500 for the insure so he will be able to paid up to £3500 to get the S1 insured
RST

 

davS2, cheeRS!! i'd be happy with that fully comp

shut it you know i want a BM

 

 

One good thing thats come out of it is that he wants to convert He should never have bought the Saxo

 

i wouldnt recommend a s1 mate, great car, but unfortunately i think it will be too quick for him being not driving for too long.

Good luck tho, coz I know there are a fair few 18yr olds on here with group 20 cossies

BTW, IIRC, an XR3i is about a group 10, and an ERST is a group 15.

 

I knew their was good reason for being 25

 

wouldnt suggest getting something like an s1 so soon after learning to drive

give it a few years once insurance "should" come down, and then get something nice and worthwhile like a S1 etc

there appricating classics, not the type of car that should be thrashed round tesco's car park late at night

 

i know, im 30 this year, insurance should come down again

BUT i'm told life begins @ 40

another 10 years to go

 

He said he wants to keep the saxo but the only car he would sell it for is a S1 i dont think he would smash it up as he aint a bad driver and he has slowed down a lot now as one of his frends rolled his mini copper 100mph last week and wrote it off
And as he was driving like a prat he is not getting paid out 10K for car and 5K to get it insured and not getting a £££
And the mini is in my work
RST

 

i was £1800 a year at 18,first car for a fiesta rs turbo
think it was with adrian flux but this was 8 year back

 

yer i think it would be about £3500 3rd party fire and nicked the saxo goes into the body work shop on friday so when it comes out and he has come passionford meet with my dad and me he is going to make his mined up
RST

 

i have two letters to say on the subject

N and O
