evil knievel Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 MK3 Capri, Third Party Fire and Theft, £4500 a year. Then tried it under 1.6 and it was still £3500 a year! How the bloody hell am I supposed to afford that?
Grizzley Dell Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 you need to shop around mate. theres a bloke on here that specialises in osf insurance. something like alaskan bear??????? check him out, he done me a great deal. just checked my messages. his name is greg the russian bear
GT_lenny Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 as grizzly says try greg-russian bear -the premium choice room on here gave me a brilliant quote , but remember your age is always gonna go against you
Fiesta Steve Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 I think you have to be over 25 Good luck anyway
Grizzley Dell Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 oh. didnt clock the age. good luck anyway young dude.
Fiesta Steve Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 He may still be worth a call, he may know the best road to go down, I called them before just for advice and they were very helpful
evil knievel Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Posted February 14, 2010 Okay guys thank you very much
m1c Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 makes me feel really old! cant you ask parents to insure it and you as a named driver, even if its just for the first year so you can save up? some policys let named drivers build up no claims discounts too.
samurai Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 If i remember right the bear will only insure if its a 2nd car

My dad is on his second ban ( ) and I don't know if my mum will like the idea. I'm going to phone Footman James in the morning, as they do club discounts don't they?
banarama Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 thats way to much /when iwas your age it was allways more ,but thats tacking the p,,,s
azz-bo Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 Try adrian flux mate, they sorted me out with a right bargain when nobody else would touch me. I've got my old man as a named driver aswell which helped, also try a limited mileage thingy that helps too
evil knievel Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Posted February 14, 2010 I will try them in the morning Thank you... That is taking the piss i think though. £4500?? I could have 4 capri's for that money!
Joe-ashtonmobile Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 you have to be over 25 for footman james
evil knievel Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Posted February 14, 2010 you have to be over 25 for footman james They're pretty leniant as my friends 18 and he's insured with them
Slammed Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 you have to be over 25 for footman james dont think you do i had a quote for my cortina insured for when im 17 and was pretty reasonble!
evil knievel Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Posted February 15, 2010 you have to be over 25 for footman james dont think you do i had a quote for my cortina insured for when im 17 and was pretty reasonble! they wouldn't touch me as the cars insurance group is too high!! my premium halves as of my birthday (3 months)... so looks like I could be waiting til then? Thanks all for you input- giving adrian flux a call now.
stevepeanut Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 buy a 1.0 fiesta and run that for a year to get some no claims then get a capri after that
m1c Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 id be gutted to start an expensive policy if it could be greatly reduced in 3 months time so might be worth it. but then, im impatient and want everything tomorrow so wouldnt blame ya if you couldnt wait
evil knievel Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Posted February 15, 2010 I nearly have 1 years no claims. Been quoted £2074, at 18 years old with 1 years no claims. it's still a lot but cheaper then my current insurance. annoying thing is, i've done about 20,000 miles in my short driving career due to my job + distant girlfriend!
mossy Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 HIC did me a good deal on a modified mk2 escort when i was 20.
Slammed Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 honestly try footman james, be real polite and everything and honest i did and for a 1.0 mk1 festa it was 700 pounds for me and my mk1 tina was about 1500 pounds IIRC. all for when im 17 and held my new license for less than a month!
samurai Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 CIC i got mine from for 170 pounds for first car which is moded but i got a letter saying they are selling up and it will be taken over by adrian flux who would not insure me....
evil knievel Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Posted February 15, 2010 footman james won't touch me because of the insurance group of a 2.0 laser I just need it at about £2500 then me and my dad can afford it between us
