She won't get in it

But the insurance on Scoobies is such a rip!

Cheapest so far is £1100 and that's just for a normal UK WRX 03 model

Tried Greenlight, A Plan, Performance Direct, Tesco, Flux, to name but a few.

Insurance is a joke!

Tell her to fuck off then

black scoob

if you are trying to insure a scoob mate, try phoning Gary Moulson at Keith Michaels insurance on 0208 288 0275, very helpful and saved me a fortune, all mods declared....

Ginge !

my STI is alot to insure 3 times a much as my bmw is,,,,,, but its much better than a cossie for what i wanna use it for tbh

bigpower

Who would have thought a girl with such low standards in men, would have reasonable standards in cars

black scoob

not got an exact date yet, but am hoping to have the car back by the weekend, should be getting some mapping tomorrow so fingers crossed everything goes ok...

BlueSmoke

COOONT!!!!

I've always wondered how you've managed so many women actually, looking like you do

Ginge,

I want a car I can drive fast ont he motorway ont he way to work on a morning when it opens up (as it does for a nice stretch) but won't overheat/breakdown when getting back to crawling in traffic, and can be used for countryside blasts at the weekend without worrying too much.

So that should rule a Cossie out

Just resent paying so much to insure a Scooby. Thought once I passed 25 all would be well. Now I'm 26 and it's still shit

As for getting an Evo, I think they would be even worse to insure?? And for my mileage I'd have to service it 4 times a year!

black scoob

the insurance on them is a lot, i remember when i got the current scoob i could have insured a cerbera for £130 less....

Ginge !

its alot but its worth it, i pay almost 900 a year on my scoobie,,,, i just pay it via direct debit with a 300 quid deposit and i dont notice it

considering what the missus spends on stuff like nails ect,,,, i look at is as a " fun tax ",,, good job my council tax went DOWN this year ( ok not relevent to this post but im so happy i wanna share it anyway i can !!!! )

black scoob

council tax went down??lucky git. i like your argument against the nails etc, will need to remember that one.....

BlueSmoke

Aye I am wondering if the enjoyment factor is worth the extra cost....

They also said that they view a WRX with PPP the same as a WRX STi Type UK

I'd much rather have an STi for the same money. Thinkt hey look mint, even the bug eyes.

Cossie insurance £870, standard WRX 03plate insurance £1100, STI Type UK 02 Plate £1400.....

Current car (Leon Cupra) £557!!!

Ginge !

yeha my council have decided to re band the area based on the amount the houses are worth ect and what sort of veiws and other shite i never bothered reading about as usually it just means your gonan get screwed over

my bill this year is 1200 quid a year ( also get a extra 20 qui discount if i pay upfront,,,,, yeah like fuck would i !!! )

aint got a clue why as im not stupid enough to get it checked

its the bill im paying and im keeping me mouth shut for once !!!

respermit is now 320 quid for the year though !!!!

Ginge !

i can beat that,,,,, scoobie almost 900, must be fitted with a active tracker too which was another 115 quid !!!, BMW 325i coupe,,,,,,,,, 333 quid fully comp,,,, no need for extra secuity !

and its better on fuel too pmsl

PhilM

My scoob is £900 FC, thats with A-Plan, mods declared (Brembos and H&S exhaust). 24 with 3 points, 4yr NCB.

Can't blame her for not wanting to be seen dead in a Saff mind

cossieDavedree

quote ''Can't blame her for not wanting to be seen dead in a Saff mind ''



Is that because its a ford ?

PhilM

No, Fords are fine.....just with a Saff; well, it just isnt 1990 anymore!

cossieDavedree

ok thats fair enough they are old girls, and ive had one, now got a 3 door but will be
selling it near the end of this year.

Im currently building a yb mk1 capri. and that will be my last car

I'll always be a ford person, But i gotta move on, and the only way I want to do that is to move onto bikes...

I went on the back of a 07 fireblade, and it scared me, and nothing has scared me before.
I loved it .

cossieDavedree

oops but i forgot to say, that yer you do have to move on eventually ,,
but you have to respect the Ford Rs Heritage.
Because Ford sold it all away.

Turbocabbie

And the bad part is

That would be enough to make me buy one and I do not even like them

foreigneRS

why do you want to spend all that money so that you can drive fast on the way to work? will it get you into work any quicker? and if it does, why the hell do you want to get into work sooner? strange lad

my ex said this years ago when i bought a capri 2.8i, suited me down to the ground because i couldnt stand the miserable old bag anyway.

ma misses said the exact same but got in it yesterday for the first time and changed her mind now.

tonyk

£1000+ for an old sapph!!!!, I got a quote from elephant on a ferrari 360 for £1080 fully comp, protected no claims, im 28 yrs old with 10yrs ncb. Funny old game this insurance lark.

turbo_3dr_tommy

it was cheaper for me to insure my evo than a scoob of the same value with elephant

as for servicing you will stil have to service the scoob and rebuild it after melting a piston

my mrs used to get in the old saph but she point blank refuses in the 3-door she sees it as a stupidly noisey thing with a stupid looking table on the back

Simple, just get a new girlfriend!!!!!!

RS Juto

Suprised she hasn't fucked you off................. buying a scooby...........only joking

But she does need a good talking to

Buy the cossy and buy the missus a weekly bus ticket. She will soon get in when shes fed up of sitting next to someone stinking off piss (not everyone i add) or gets sick of getting piss wet through after the bus didnt turn up.
