This is my car that i have had for 6 months now i payed £100 for it and in 6 months i have had to put a new exsaust on as the other fell off haha, one of my cylinder valves broke so a new one of them, all my wireing replaced, new discs and pads but it was completley standard
it had 99,000 miles on.

why group 7? there's much more to insurance prices than the traditional groupings.

well you're certainly looking in the wrong place i'd imagine! no car is worth £2.5k insurance.

[boz]

nice clean car there.

good to see another north east saxo owner

a vtr is a good bet, get one of your parents down as a named driver on your policy, helps to bring it down a wee bit

where abouts in the north east? and do you go on meets up this way as im looking at getting involved

[Jungle_Jimm]

if it was me then i would save the money toward something else, i would never pay £2500 for insurance thats crazy. why not start off with a westcoast or a furio, they are pretty nippy, can look just as good as any vtr/s and much cheaper on insurance.

heres a pic of my old westcoast and my bros furio. in my opinion they make good first cars whilst insurance is a killer

[Adam_Q]

Any excuse to post a pic James lol!
