classic 'im 17 help me' thread... and a rant...

Definately don't go down the fronting route as if it goes to court you'll end up with points and a fine, which'll probably mean as they usually give out 6 points for an IN10 (driving without the appropriate insurance cover). And if you check the small print, if you get 6 points in your first 2 years of driving, you'll have to retake your test. Then you'll have to declare your previous misdemeanours to the b'stard insurance companies (I know what they're like  coz i work for one and they're making 1800 of us redundant next year) which will push your premium even higher.

Try a 1 litre Polo if you must have a dub as they're a pretty low group.

Sure I've posted this before mk2 Golf Before 1988 (20 years old) becomes classic and therefore valid for classic insurance - Non GTi's anyway, 1.3 1.6 1.8 carbs etc.

I'm insured on a mk2 1.3 golf 1988, for £830 3rd party, first car, OWN policy, 18yr/old at the time of taking out the policy...

I am with Footmanjames, I know online it says you have to be over 21 but thats just for an online quote, phone them and ask.

DON'T PAY £1,500 ON A FKKKING POLO!

i have argued with footmanjames and theyre basically calling you a liar, they refuse to insure me on a 1.3 golf due to the insurance group

ive give up on a golf for now and decided to buy a little chinquecento (awaits being banned LOL) got offered one for £75 with 5 tax 11 mot because the alternator belts snapped (they think its the cam belt)

passed me test yesterday so still looking for cheap insurance, on the chink-wagon its £1600 in my own name

[Khare]

hunt around mate. limit the miles you do, get a cheap car with a crappy engine mate. If you want insurance under £1k at the age of 17 thats what you gotta do.

[samjac68]

how can i get more cheaper and crappier than a £75 chinquecento 0.9???

thats £1600 with endsleigh or £900 with rac if i front it with my grandad

complete... and utter... pisstake

oh yeah and since i passed my test morethan have refused to insure me on a full license... my nan and grandads insurance was £270 before and it doubled to £600 with me on provisional. i got into a bit of a heated argument because im taking the stance that they should refund the £300 if theyre not going to insure me on the car on a full license but 'unfortunately it doesnt work like that' theiving thingys!

i think unfortunatly whatever you get your gonna be bent over  my brother was paying nearly £1700 quid for a 1.1 pug 106 when he was 17

erm,  i would love to know how many searches people do etc.

my daughter has a 1.4 16v corsa,

insured in her name

under a grand with her as a Learner driver,

just over when she passes.

no fronted policy ,  parked on the road, etc etc .

BUT it oes come well discounted to the tune of about £350 as some knackered old goat is on her policy, namely me.

will be reduced further when her boyfriend turns 21 and gos on her policy too 

Its now cheaper to run your own insurance with a named older driver, than to front yourself on another policy 

[Steve_PD]

My first car was a Corsa 1.2 16v :embarassed:
I got my own policy with no other named drivers and parked on a drive
For £500 TPFT, shop around you'll get a good deal eventually

Girls always get cheaper insurance my missus had a quote for her mums Merc SLK its a 2005 1.8 supercharged shes 21 with 3 years no claims and she got quoted £1250 Comp.

You could do the advanced driver courses they are suppose to knock a big chunk of your premiums.
