why spend all that 1200 on a mint condition one? do what my brother has, and buy a not to bad condition one, then buy a scrapper thats modded, and strip the parts!
he got a whole car from a scrappie with Big bumpers, smooth tailgat, twin DTM exit (MAGNEX!!!), sports seats, induction kit- ?100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
look around!

honestly, i think 8v- 16v have got stupid insurance premiums!

I'll vouch for that! Insurance will be bout a grand with 500 excess for my valver! Tis a bit of a joke! Oh well, it has to be done!

Hi All,

In your opinion which is best the 8v or the 16v mk2 ?

I've owned 4 8v's but never had a 16v and I'm now looking for a new one.

Cheers,
ajh

Can't believe your asking the question! :-)

16v wipes the 8v everytime. I don't remember a single 8v in the lifetime of my 16v ever getting close. And they tried, bless their little souls.

In my honest opinion the 8v drives more like a GL.

However, the 16v has one huge achillies heel.

Every single one (including mine) has been thrashed by its owner.

Regards,
Justin

Quite right matey....

if your looking for decent quotes for insurance tesco are quite fair..... and some say axa are alright, but you'll have to phone!

I went for Adrian Flux. The best I had from anywhere. ?946 and ?300 xs with 2 years no claims. Still quite pricey but everywhere else had been quoting me over a grand.
