[Bondie]

Hi all im bondie im new to the forum.

I m currently looking about for a saxo in a £3000 price range seen a nice 1.1 desire model only 1.1 due to im only 17. Just wondering what is the first thing you did to mod yours car. And how the hell do you fit one of those in dash tv's lol woulde appreicate any reponse cheer

For £3k you would be able to buy a decent VTR or westie and still be able to insure it, Get a westie, still got the kit and cheap insurance.

[nufc_lad]

or a furio

[Karl]

spend 2 1/2 on a VTR save the other 500 for insurance for it ^^

[Robbo]

furio mate, cheaper to insure than a vtr and looks the shizzle :)

[Ibiza_Rik]

yeah get yourself a nice furio, i got my 02 plate furio at 3grand, and it easy on the insurance compared to a vtr

[darrensvtr]

£2k for a hlaf decent mk1 vtr,go with elephant insurance and youl probably have change left to do a few mods eg,induction kit or getting it lowered.

[davew]

gotta agree with soulless their. You can easily pic up a decent vtr and insure it easily for that money.

[darrensvtr]

not bein funny mate but whos guna insure a 17 year old on a vtr for £500,unless they go on there parents insurance.my insurance on a vtr was £500 when i was 21 and had 3 years no claims and even that was good.

Shes a girl its going to be cheap!

[Ry_B]

Stiil not guna be 500. I just tried in my own name with Elephant third party and it said 2800, I live in a good area with no claims or anything. (And someone here reccomended elephant)

[TU-Tuning]

How do u know its a girl? Did you think she said blondie.

IMO getting a VTR at 17 is a waste of money. Sure its faster than a westy or 1.1 but you are going to be paying nearly as much as the car on insurance. Svae the money for other things, like mods :thumbup:

0_0 GET A 5 DOOR ;)

theyre more social and cheaper :D

[TU-Tuning]

lol more social? Its not too hard to pull a lever and move a seat :P

[doubledavies]

elephant wanted £5k for my 1.1 eastcoast wen i was 17, low crime area and no points. i asked if they just didnt want the trade and they said yes the spineless fuckers

quinss by far the best

[Viper]

well.. it does take more time ;)

and im sure u can fit more in the 5 door..

[Mrk1]

imo you should go for a westcoast or a furio, because you will soon get bored with a 1.1. 3k should bag you a nice westy/furio with enough cash left to insure the bugger.

[srcnix]

You could get yourself a low mileage Furio and put the change towards your insurance. In the future if you want a VTR you could just exchange the engine and get new brear breaks.

Bondie id recommend gettin the westie or furio, thers no comparison between them and the 1.1 for looks and im sure the insurance gap wouldnt be too big!

[davew]

on the subject of insurance i am 18 and pay 1100 on a vts so it cant be much over 500 ???

[davew]

Is that your own insurance or your on your mum and dads??

[Barry123]

f***s sake. this person is asking about getting a 1.1 or whatever so why start giving them advice about something else??? :err:

they might not fancy the added insurance, tax, running costs etc.

£3000 you'll be able to get a 2002 reg onwards easily (facelifted version)
If the £3k includes getting your own insurance then expect to set aside a good £1000+ on getting your policy.
