Hi all,

Been a biker for 2 years, got two years no claims.

Im 19 and have just passed my car test.

but now its time to purchase a little **** tip for the winter days.

Been looking at 90's Corsa B's 1.2 Ls or Merit.

Had quotes on a few cars but these corsa's seem cheapest.

If you can call it cheap... £2,378 fully comp.

Can someone please oh please tell me how to get this cheaper!

The cars only £400-£500

Any help is appreciated

Cheers
Perry

 

The usual stuff I suppose. Pass Plus, Raise your Excess, Limited mileage policy, add an older experienced driver (not as main driver). Is there any discount you can carry over from your bike insurer?

 

Pass plus got me £100 off, itd cast £140 to do the pass plus lol, Exess is at £500, milage 4000 a year & adding my dad did nothing unfortunately.

My bike insurer only do bikes so im out of luck there.

 

try i kube my daughter just passed her driving test 1300 fully comp the reason its pretty cheap is you have to agree to not drive the car in between 11pm and 4 in the morning thats why its cheap dosnt bother the daughter cos shes on the lash

 

try Quinn Direct. Quite cheap compared to the rest for me.

 

So if i say i wont drive it in those times itll knock a little off. what if i do drive it at those times ? do i just have to not crash lol

ive heard alot about quinn. will give them a go.

 

To give you a for instance Moo. I only passed my driving test at 22 and my first car was/is an Alfa Romeo 147 1.6twinspark 120version and my insurance with them came to around £1400. Everywhere else were looking 2k and above ffs.

My renewal with 1NCB came to £850, this year with 2NCB it is £900 but thats still at least £300 cheaper than anywhere else.

 

corsa's even though small engines are quite high insurance because of their appeal to boy racers had bad crash history probably ! work this out im 28 garage 8years no claims civic type r 220bhp £850 1.2 fiesta zetec value 400 quoted me £870 wtf !!! i would try a company called zenith as got my best quote for my scooby from them . good luck matey

 

you get fined 40 squid and they fit a tracker id rather save a grand obviousley you dont

 

and post this in the relevant section

 

wot u mean relevent section ???

 

Ill deffo try quinn as ive heard other friends have used them also.

A tracker! fair enough hah.

the only time id be driving that late would be if i had some serious insomnia.

Corsa came out cheapest for me though.

tried a 1.3 EK Civic and it came out 6K
and a 1.6 LX subaru impreza was 6K.

i know what id of gone for lol

 

phoned quin. 3rd party 3 and a half grand.... they wont go any cheaper.

 

just try who i mentioned you will be suprised

 

Nick i think i love you haha

fully comp on the corsa £1480 with that tracker fitted.

Cheers mate!

 

there you go result

 

thanks so much Nick. got a quote on a 1.2 clio and itd only be £200 more to insure! May go for the clio

 

i told you you would be suprised my daughters driving a punto i hate these cars there crap but as a first car and cheaper than a fiesta clio or corsa we live in a bad postcode so insurance costs are very high glad you sorted now free tracker aswell if it gets nicked cant be bad

 

Yeah, thanks so much. ill get a quote on a punto nearer the time of purchase

Thanks again Nick much apreciated!

 

churchill or tesco insruance alloy you to use your motorcycle no claims on a car policy, as long as you are not using them on bike policy at the same time, i did this when i got my first car, saved me a fortune, maybe worth thinking about?
