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

Anyways, I am 16 at the moment and have a 50cc scooter

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

get a 1.1 or 1.4 as these are lower insurance groups

o yea hi there and welcome

JamieB · 4th August 2004, 02:21

like james said, get a 1.1 (like mine but with 3 doors not 5!) or get a 1.4!

i dont see any probs with gettin a VTR just makes sure u got about a grand for the insurance

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

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

Cheers

jamesg88 · 4th August 2004, 04:35

well no it werent but how are you jamie

Andyt · 4th August 2004, 05:41

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 · 4th August 2004, 06:05

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

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

oz_borne^p · 4th August 2004, 22:16

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.
