question on insurence!

[Dickydan]

17 yr old boy passing test

roughly how much would the insurence be on a 1.4 corsa?

8v or 16v make a differance?


cheers.

put simply.............ALOT!

im paying 2300 or sumit on a 1.2 16v. and thats only third party fire and theft.


unless u have very deep pockets i'd get a 1.2 max

[Dickydan]

really? 2300? thats real high, i could go on my mothers insurence, 30+ years driving, i dont know how many NCB third party fire nd theft

so just wondering if its possible lol.

[matty101]

yh u cud, but make sure u get your own NCB.

tbh if u have a look at the specs a 1.2 16v is quicker, faster then the 1.4 8v

[Dickydan]

im lookin to get 1.4 sport lol

buh how much would insurence be on my mums insurence and id get my own NCB.

plus i have ideas what to do to the 1.4 in time lol as im now in a apprenticeship doing mechanics lol.

go on somthing like confused or compare the meerkat.com get some quotes
my 1st year on a 12ver was over a grand so dont expect it to be any cheaper

altho if your thinking of insuring it as your mum or your dad as main driver and you as a named driver on the policy...... be carefull
cus if they find out it is actualy your car (which the probably will if you start modyfying it) they can refuse to pay out in the event of an accdent.
go TPFT and earn your own no claims. costs alot to start with but just gets cheaper

hope this helps

i duno tbh mate u'd hav to get a quote.

but tbh is it really worth paying and extra 500 or woteva it will be extra on the insurence for and extra 10mph?

and i personaly wudnt bother trying to tune up a 1.4, i'd save my money for a 2.0

ay i was just readin that link you put,
and it says my 1.2 8v top speed is 90mph, i had it 100 once

[Dickydan]

yeah i can afford anything up to £2000 if it could stay in that range for a 1.4?, let me know if u guys can come up with any ideas or suggestions or prices

thanks
