Hey well i am new to these forums, so hey.

Anyways, I am 16 at the moment and have a 50cc scooter smileys/happy.gif lol, but I am looking to buy a saxo I was wondering how much do you think the insurance would be for me (fully comp) on the different models e.g. VTR/GTI/Standard 1.1 etc.

Thanks smileys/happy.gif

[jamesg88]

get a 1.1 or 1.4 as these are lower insurance groups

o yea hi there and welcome smileys/smiley4.gif

its well worth it for that first year to pay more and have a car with the perfomance

[hilljd00]

okies cheers, yeh I got pics of parts and other cars and I am gonna copy bits etc spoiler etc...

I have found a great place near me that sells stuff really cheap I reackon I could get a really good sound system, tv screen with ps2 n dvd hooked up for less than £350. (hopefully)

Can you guys quote me on your spec n insurance cost please so I have an idea about it.

Also is their a saxo show in the south west if so when as I would like to go smileys/happy.gif

Hey there

Go for the 1.4 westcoast if u can get 1, as it it has the looks of the vtr/s, but not the same insurance.

Ure best bet is to phone around the insurance companies and get some quotes. As prices change every month.

[hilljd00]

yeh my b'day anit till march tho :| but i've always wanted a saxo so im gonna get one, lol smileys/happy.gif

Also what would you suggest I look for when I go to buy my car as I am going to get it about 1-2 months before I can drive so I can start doing it up smileys/happy.gif

Well mate, there isn't much to look for when pur-chasing a saxo, do the oil checks, and oil cap check for any whitish residue, then listen to the engine, any knocking is normally bad, check there is no loud noises coming from a standard box as it could have a hole in it. Listen to the engine when you depress the clutch, does it change the sound of it, kinda like a grinding when you lift the clutch, THRUST baring is a bitch to replace and costly.

I'm 24 and am renewing mine for 532 next week with tesco. CIS (part of the coop) is good for youngsters.

try it, you might like it.

Nope as ur in leeds and im in Plymouth smileys/smiley16.gif

[mar1n2000]

best thing for you to do mate is look on the net at some cars that you may think you might buy then get quotes on those cars, simple. then you should have a damm good idea of what its gunna cost takes a little time but its the only real why to do it cos prices change depending where you are in the country and other random shite like that
