VTS insurance for 17 year old

[tomgarrett]

i am 17 and am considering buying a VTS , but i am unsure if the insurance is to much. i have had my licence for over a year and have 1 years no claims, how much do you reckon i would have to pay

[lynch145]

lol it would be stupid mate ! off the top of my head i would say aroud 2000-2500 maybe. try confused.com theyre ok for insurance bud :y:

[tomgarrett]

lol well thats quite a lot :( though i could always go on parents insurance like my fiesta is which will make it well cheap. is there a big difference in the insurance for a VTR

[Slarky_cgm]

VTR - insurance group 7
VTS - insurance group 14

good point. yeh they are quite different in prices. it makes a difference that you have 2 fruit and veg as im 21 (tomoz) with one year and it was still high. my mrs on the other had is 18 with one years and it was cheaper than my vtr :panic: i dont understand lol

[tomgarrett]

big difference in insurance groups then

ive got 1 ncb as i passed my test when 16 (dont live in mainland UK lol)

[lynch145]

oooh that explains why then lol

goin to be expensive mate i payed 1800 at 18.. a vtr is a hell of a lot cheaper

[lukesaxokid]

im 17 and paying around £2700, look up my old thread got loads of advice/ peoples views on there mate.

[SAM33R]

most places wont even insure you

get a furio or a vtr mate and get a few years driving experience under your belt before looking at a vts - insurance will be stupidly high

[SAM33R]

not being funny mate, theres already an arguement, about 17 year olds getting a VTR as a first car, let alone a VTS lol

there very powerful for a small car, and can be a death trap

insurance is gonna be ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Any car can be a death trap in the wrong hands tbh.

[SAM33R]

all forms of transport are a death trap i think...

just imagine a superbike crash...

[Pat_Vts]

get a VTS if you want but beware of costs... its your money at the end of the day!

[tommyVTR]

to be honest a vtr would be a much wiser choice, compared to a fiesta your going to be creaming ur pants over the performance increase as it is, that should keep u stimulated long enough to get a couple ncb under the belt then get a vts..

[Saxo_Steve]

Or even get a furio. I had a punto 1.2 when I was 17 and was paying £2000 for it, so I'd hate to think what insurance would be like on a vts!

[djawesome123]

Hehe well i just had a quote for a 5 litre mercedes for next time round. I will be 18 with one years ncb and it was only £2300 !!!

[saxokid2006]

depends alot on where you live etc

obviously a vts is gona be sky high, wait until your over 21 mate, i got a quote when i was 20...2800, then when i was 22...1400! does make a difference bud, get some NCB and some driving experience, driving a vts at your age isnt a good idea!

you may think your a good driver and im not doubting your ability to drive, but stepping into a powerful car can make you drive dangerously

thats my opinion anyway!

[jonezy]
