Vtr Quote At 17

[MrWest]

Hi everyone, nearly 17 and been looking around for quotes for a VTR...

I got a quote for £1200 from quinn direct.

That seems very good to me..?

What do you guys think?

[custom_vtr]

it was 1400 tpft on my 1.0 with a years no claims at that age.is it on your parents insurance?

[Luke]

That is very good mate.

MK1 or MK2 VTR? In your own name yeah?

[MrWest]

Its on my own and its a MK 1

[Luke]

I think that is really cheap in your own name mate.

[custom_vtr]

snap it up!!! lol

[MrWest]

its only an online quote... are they accurate?

[Luke]

Yeah mate, they are accurate.

Just need to purchase it over there and job done.

[drew]

did you get it sorted? - in my experience quotes had a few hidden pounds, but hope you manage!

[MrWest]

ok cool :D

Ive seen a car I like.


Information on it...

Manual, Hatchback, Petrol, 85,000 miles, Red. Sony CD player and amp. OZ racing alloys. Lowered. HPi clear. Uprated interi. Very clean. Service history. Part exchange welcome. All cards accepted. £1,995.

What ya recon?

[Luke]

Service History? I presume it hasn't got FULL service history.

I personally would not touch a car with that kinda mileage on it without a FSH.

[MrWest]

No? Oh lol ok.


Ill keep looking then

[Luke]

It's up to you mate at the end of the day, I'm just giving my opinion as ME personally wouldn't buy that.

I'd also buy one TOTALLY standard as you can do all the work yourself but again it's your decision.

Good luck with it all ;)

[Tupps]

im not a fan of high milages cars, full service history does help but i still wouldn't trust it

£1200 is a really good price @ 17.....just go find a low milaged vtr now

chop chop

Insurance companies are starting to stop insuring under 21's on VT models, RAC and a few others have already phased this in unless you are an existing customer.

So buy it basically. Now

[MrWest]

Lol, anyone know anyone with a saxo VTR for sale in cornwall? :D

[Luke]

Insurance companies are starting to stop insuring under 21's on VT models, RAC and a few others have already phased this in unless you are an existing customer.

So buy it basically. Now

Seriously?

What happens for me then for the next 2 years?

[MrWest]

"unless you are an existing customer." ?

[Luke]

Yeah, it says an exisiting customer but does that mean you have to stick with your current insurer?

[MrWest]

oh, I dont know. If it does, gutted.

[Luke]

I think IF insurances companies bring this in, it should be after a certain date after you bought the car. That is fair then.

[TU-Tuning]

THats what RAC told me when I tried to get insured on a VTR, just said theryre trying to do their bit in the industry to stop young motorists dying. VTR = classic boy racer car, altough I know most on here arent like that

[Luke]

Yeah exactly, tbh most VTR drivers ain't boy racers it's just the minority.

If that was to happen there is a LOT of people who could not insure there car.

[TU-Tuning]

Id say 18 or over was about right, 21 is stupid.

[Luke]

Yeah exactly. Amount of times I got refused insurance when I bought the VTR because I wasn't over 21.

[argylefan1985]

what a joke, but ive just turned 21 so nevermind

[scotts]

hey buddy im with quinn direct, thats a good quote but remember you musnt modify it.... its one of there contract points just warning ya or it will invalidate ya insurance see quote below off there site:

"No modifications/adaptations to increase top speed, performance or acceleration"

[MrWest]

so i wouldnt be alloud to lower it?

[Baz]

you can lower it yes.

was that quote fully comp or what?

quotes i get on a furio are rediculous!

1 and half years driving exp with 3 points on a furio is £2.4k

£2k without 3 points, gutted

[Natalie]

Sounds a good quote to me. I found my old college diary the other day from when I was getting quotes on my first car and I was quoted £2400 for a VTR at 17 :fcuk:

So I got the Nova SR which was £789 then bought the VTR at 18 when it had gone down to £715 fully comp

But yeah alot of companies are moving the age bracket to 21 to insure a VTR now. I got quotes with Tesco at 18 and 19 then when I was 20 they wouldn't insure me because I wasn't 21

[MrWest]

the quote is tpft, does everyone think a saxo with 85k too much, or does it still have life in it?

[ada]

I'm 17 and I'm insured in my VTR fully comp for £740. Mums name.
I also have a high miled car, 111k to be exact, actually almost 112k but still runs well. Touch wood.

[Natalie]

the quote is tpft, does everyone think a saxo with 85k too much, or does it still have life in it?

Mines on 78k now and its 7 years old. That is average mileage for its age. It was high mileage when I got it but i've averaged it out because I've only done 22k in the last 3 yrs. Most of the miles before I got it were motorway miles though so not necessarily a bad thing.

I think mine has plenty of life in it yet (I hope! I've probably jinxed it now lol) As long as it's been looked after it shouldn't be a problem. Mine had FSH so I knew it had been serviced regulary etc

[MrWest]

Lush, if stuff does go wrong with high millage, what kinda stuff normally goes, and how much does it cost to fix.

[James]

I insured my VTR at 17 on my own policy,

Mark 2 - 98bhp version
Lowered 55mm +
Zaust Manifold
Full bodykit
17" Alloys
Spoiler
Interior changes

Im really not going to tell you how much i paid... :fcuk:

[ada]

How much did you pay?

[S34MER]

im 20 have a VTR with
Alloys
Lowered 40mm
Strut Brace
Induction Kit
Morettes front and back
Full Exhaust System

i have 3 points and 3 years driving experience, and i was quoted £1600 to renew! so that is a bargain get it now!!!

[mattc]

You could find a better VTR for the money. When i was lookin for my sax it had to be:
Low Milage
Posi Blue
Not a scratch on it
Not owned (and caned) by a teenager
Not modified at all (another sign it could have been ragged)

If you are patient you will get what you want... I did :-)


Oh and that is a well good price for insurance!!!

[MrWest]

I think i might go and look at it on saturday, IF it is nice, ill make an offer..

Whats the most I should go?

[Japman]

yea mate thats good im 17 and got a vtr,i payed 1700!!

[MrWest]

for the car or the insurance

[Talon]

im 17 got a mk1 vtr car cost me £1300 insurance cost me £1400 from quinn.

[Japman]

1700 for insurance and 2,200 for the car

[chrisni1986]

i had a vtr when i was 17 and was insured with quinn, have now bought a vts and am still with quinn and im 20 next month, lady i deal with told me that had i been a new customer with them i wouldnt have got insured on the vts, i only got it because i was with them 2 years! so posi westcoast is right!

[MrWest]

oh, what... but i got a quote from them.. does that mean if i buy it and then when im 17 phone up, they wont insure me?

[ada]

Some companies do that, or add other charges, I got a £500 quote and jumped at it, so I rang them to confirm it, they added £200. Get it as soon as you can. That's dirt cheap, so far.

[MrWest]

but the thing is im not 17 yet so I cant! Hopefully it will be the same in december!

[Chezbaby]
