Title: Help me buy/find a car please
Post by: The K man on 30 May 2012, 15:37
I bet this has been asked a million times on here but can you good people please help me find a quick, low insurance car.

Quick car and insurance history:

Golf mk3 1.6 - £3300
Current golf mk4 1.4 - £2700

Golf's been wrote off (non fault) hence looking for a new car, thanks.

LOL

if a 1.4 golf is 2700 he isn't going to want to insure a gti!
And insurance will be more because of the written off car (even though it wasn't your fault)

Your right mate, no chance of insuring that! Best bet so far looks like a golf mk4 1.4 again, and Stalybridge is like 2 mins from my house which would have been ideal!

I had one of those pieces of sh!te a couple of cars ago now. Never again! My sister now has the misfortune of owning it and although it never had any mechanical problems in my ownership (I just hated driving such a boring car!), she's had nothing but trouble with it. Makes me feel really guilty actually, and I had to practically give it away to her for 3k 2 years ago.  :sick:

yes it has been asked a thousand times  :rolleyes:

a search would bring up lots of suggestions

however, a further search will reveal that your own personal circumstances can change the quote on the same vehicle

therefore,  research low insurance group cars.

find one

get a quote

HTH

What about something like a saxo vtr or 106 quicksilver or maybe gti. Tons of parts available, replacement and performance wise. Easy to work on. I loved my vts proper fun little car. They shouldn't be to bad on insurance.
