Anyone here 18-19 and have a S2. If so how much is you insurance and where from??
Havent phoned for a quote yet just thought i would see what ppl on here say!
Think the S2 is insurance group 16 and had a Escort Gti which is 15. Do you think there is gonna be a massive jump?

Cheers Mattie

 

Yup, more nickable and tend to go a smidge quicker

Best thing is, ring round and get quotes, you may be surprised or you may have a heart attack!

 

Thought the S2 was a grp14

Anyway,i insured my first S2 at 19-Think i paid 1150 TPFT....

 

yeh looks like i'll have too. The only other think i thought about is that i have a *cough* Nova too which allows me to drive any car/motorbike Third party. so thought about getting my pops to insure the turbine and me use it @ weekends under the nova policy.
Think this option is a bit risky (spelling) tho

 

Stoo Who was that with? The escort Gti was costing me Ł730 tpfth and that was with asda and had just turned 18!

 

Sure it was through the RSOC insurance sceme,it was 4 years ago now.I had a 3000mile limited mileage though but an agreed value of 5500

 

i remember getting a quote from ensleigh when i was 17 for an S2, a very reasonable 13 grand tpft needless to say i didnt get the car OR get insurance with them

 

i Assume i would have to join the RSOC to get a policy?

Also the S2 is an E plate.. would that be old enough to qualify for classic car insurance?

 

im 27 and have only held a license for two and a half years with two years no claims and ive just had to stump up Ł750 tpft a month ago and now ive bought a RS 2000 its gone up Ł141. i was with performance direct but when i tried changing the car th a turbo they said the company they had put me with wouldnt insure it so i had to find another. insurance has a lot to do with ur postcode as well. good luck and check the small print cause i got a qoute for about Ł650 but when i started asking more questions i found out it had a Ł500 excess which is f***ing stupid!!!!!!

 

escort gti is actually group 13 and personally i cant see how u managed to get insured at your age. rs turbo is group 15 and normally costs loads to insure

 

The gti was insured with asda. I've got pass plus which really helped. Having pass plus took the quote down from Ł1400 to Ł750. which was nice

 

im 19 with a series 2, i live in northern ireland tho and my insurance is Ł3000 fully comp lol

 

jesus, you must have been loaded.......once

 

I DJ so i get a bit of cash...definatly not loaded tho....Its the price u gotta pay for driving an RS lol

 

I'll assume it so much cause you live in ireland??

 

Awww. you're very first turb...

 

Thats probably the reason yup...all the shit that goes on over here....

 

A Mate of mine who is 18 been driving for 8 months got a quote for a series 2 and is was............... wait for it......... Ł3500!!!!!!!!!

I could not belive it, iam sure you could do better if you shop around though.

 

I was paying I think 1100 fpft a few yrs bk when I was 19. on my first rs, that was with performance direct who at the time were the best quote I managed. I would say try HIC too, dunno if they have a age policy or not tho Or tesco's, worth a try!

 

my mate went with hic and i tried getting a qoute from them . they were cheap but they wanted a alot of the money up front(i pay it monthly cause im not rich) and have big excesses! and worst of all my mate who went with them started his insurance on january 2nd 2004 and had his car nicked on the 10th and he is still waiting for them to pay him out> what was worse is he is minted and paid his insurance off in full on the 2nd!!

 

green light used to be not bad! Ł1400 tpft when i was 19. first car

 

Do It! Do It! Do It!

What color you thinking of Mattie

 

LOL andy.. I know of a nice Red, E plate that im getting at a good price

Think i'll spend the weekend getting some quotes. Gonna try and see if i can insure it under classic car, with limited mileage. Just use the turbine @ weekends and use the *cough* nova to and from work!!

 

Nice 1 lad! As I said to you and Chop if I can help just gimmi a bell.

Best of luck Dude!

 

you can put a s1 on classic insurance now, im with express insurance been with them for 8 years now and no one can beat them, give them a call on 0121 386 7710 its worth a try.

 

I know dominion wont insure under 21 year olds

 

Barry- Cheers i'll give them a bell.

LOL i've only just realised that i am 19 in 3 weeks so could always wait till then!! imagine not even remembering when your birthday is

 

It aint gonna be cheap
