You bought a Clio 200 at 19 without checking quotes?

This has LOL written all over it

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Flol!!!!

They aren't overpriced quotes mate. You're 19.

 

[Ronnie R]

Oh dear... put your mum, sister, aunt, jim or bob on your insurance as a named driver.

 

[Bazzon]

FLOL buying a 200 at 19 with out checking insurance

Every companies going to want stupid amounts of money, because your Young have limited driving experience, the Car is a NEW hot hatch and worth money.

and again FLOL.

Theres companies like Bell that are usually cheaper than most but TBH the prices are going to be stupid, like you were for not checking before.

 

[Revels]

Oh dear. Brand new car with no idea of costs?

Have fun with £4k quotes.

Also, don't insure it illegally but putting it in your Mum/Dads name.

 

[Ronnie R]

Is this you first car?

I think Friday has came early.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Seriously though, surley you would have known better than to just buy it then check the quotes before hand????

God almighty...!

You will have to pay are fair bit because of your age but like Ronnie said, add female family members. With my mum on my policy it saves me nearly 500 pounds.

I found elephant to be one of the cheapest so i am with them, but there are others.

Use the search funtion of the website as loads of people have asked about insurance before and there is loads of advice.

 

[Aluco]

You will be able to get it just under £2000 if you have a clean licence. That's the best you can hope for though. If you can afford a brand new 200 I'm guessing 2-3k insurance isn't too much of a problem.

 

[_WILL_]

I just did a quote on a 200 cup and its exactly the same premium as my 172 cup? wtf i thought it would be s**t loads more.

 

[Aluco]

197's are an insurance group lower than a normal 172/182 and two lower than a 172 cup so I imagine 200's are the same. It was cheaper for me to insure a 197 then my old 182.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Why?

The 200 is a group 15E

 

[nby]

ordering a 200 and not checking insurance? maaaan I think this is going to end in tears for you (pain) and us (laughter)

 

[_WILL_]

Why?

The 200 is a group 15E

I didn't realise it was a lower group!! Plus my cup is worth nothing compared to a 200 (i don't completely understand how insurance premiums work) I thought that if the cars value was higher then it would cost more to insure?

Pending age, location etc.

 

[lbrench]

well its not a problem paying the 3 grand, just abit s**t really

just got off the phone with brent acre and they gave me £2900 but i have to modify it so im just gona bang an airfilter on it and then it should be fine, and i didnt order a 200 without checking quotes but the one i found which was 1900 had some hidden catches like milage limits etc

 

[lbrench]

and i only paid 14500 for my 200

 

[lbrench]

Is this you first car?

I think Friday has came early.

and no its not my first car, i had a ford focus, then a mk3 polo gt and then a mk3 polo with heavy mods so its my 4th car

 

[EllD90]

Doubt you'll beat £2900! Not that bad if you ask me.

Good luck with the new car, hope you're not getting in a shitload of debt for it!

 

[Bazzon]

You must have one hell of a good job, or a very nice bank manager.

3K for insurance is stupid, its just a clio.

It also includes things like NCAP safety ratings, factory security and also generally newer cars are cheaper to insure (like for like & within reason!!).

I went from a 95' fiesta 1.3 to a 2001 1.6 16v focus my premium dropped by half within the same year & ncb.

alot of insurers i've contacted only ask if the car is worth more or less than £30k, seeing as you only get market value when you make a claim its kind of bs.

 

[lbrench]

will put some pics up when i pick it up, put an 8 grand deposit down and the doing 6500 on finance over 2 years so nah hardly anything really, i got an all black one with black speedline wheels with red brakes, black tinted rear windows, cup chasis, and its got all the goodies like keyless start and cruise control, AC and all that extra stuff, im really looking forward to getting it tbh

 

[lbrench]

oh yeh i have to put an airfilter on it for them to insure me but i dont want to put one that will ruin the cars performance so what do u recommend? pipercross?

 

[Ronnie R]

Nice.

Good Luck - who did you go with in the end (insurance)

 

[Revels]

You have to modify your car in order for them to insure you? Hmmm.

 

[lbrench]

You have to modify your car in order for them to insure you? Hmmm.

yeh because apparently they only deal in modified car insurance

 

[lbrench]

Nice.

Good Luck - who did you go with in the end (insurance)

brent acre, gona ring up and pay it on tuesday, will get some decents pics of it on tuesday when i pick it up, can anyone recommend a decent airfilter for it?

 

[Magic Johnson]

Need to know how you put down an 8 grand deposit on a car and how 3k insurance isn't a problem for you?

 

[lbrench]

alot of hard work, im selling my polo if anyone wants it? 350 quid, the wheels are worth more than the car lol

 

[Magic Johnson]

Doing what? Really curious now tbh.

 

[Tom]

Mr Spock would not like this thread.

 

[EllD90]

Just get a performance Panel filter from K-tec. Won't affect the noise and will slightly increase performance.

Well done for having the money, the hard work pays off

 

[lbrench]

Doing what? Really curious now tbh.

Dont worry I'm not a drug dealer lol, I'm part time at college but I also own a small print and design company with some mates and I work part time for 3 mobile (let the hate begin) which pays good commision so I work quiet hard tbh

 

[Magic Johnson]

Fair play! Must be good commision and you must be sh*t hot at it! Lol.

Post up pics of your Polo in General Media, need to see!

 

[lbrench]

Yeh wil do, it's a rat look tho ( again, let The hate begin)

and yeh trying to get a part time job in sales at renault

 

[_WILL_]

Well done mate, if i had the money i would do the same!!! (my insurance would be less tho ) Work hard, play hard and all that!!

It sounds amazing black car, black wheels etc... nice!

 

[lbrench]

Yeh. Can't wait to get it

 

[cat171]
