Just you I'm afraid!
Although I did play "Rally Championship" on the PC and wanted both an Ibiza and a 106 "Maxi" because if it
I only needed the first half but fair enoughNice area
PE6 = Insurance "group" A, it doesn't get much better than that.
£3,200 my arse
I kid you not.. I honestly do not know why the prices are so high!
Because you are using comparison websites. End.

Thats it, my once dream car. Nothing was going to stand in the way between me and my 306.
Then my Dad pointed out you could get loads of bigger car for the money and.. oh dear
Up the excess - don't crash - and consider TPFT is you're buying such a cheap car. Although it appears the price difference between the two these days is quite low.
What other cars are you considering?
If you find something that combined with your age doesn't make the insurers she pound signs, you might be better off. Clio? Civic? Colt? All from around the 98-2002 era can be had under 2k.

Urgh if you use another mainstream insurer to get a quote I will quite litterally reach my hand through your monitor and throttle you.
Stop finding typical cars that 17 year olds crash and pick up the TELEPHONE and phone SPECIALLIST insurers, you know the ones that specialise in young drivers, not companies dedicated to giving cheap prices to people with experience.
Companies like Churchill and Aviva wanted £4000 from me when I first passed, I paid £1400 by getting on the phone and playing brokers off against each other. To put it simply, you're doing it wrong.

Probably because it is yet another mainstream insurer who isn't competitive for people in your circumstances.
With who and for what car?

Yes but you live near loads of...tourists.
My first car, cost me £700 after Pass Plus with Norwich Union (now Aviva).
It'd have been £1400 without the pass plus. Most other places wanted like £2k.

That's quite a reduction! What car?
Who else remembers playing max power on the Playstation and lusting after the peugeot 306 Xsi
or was that just me ?
OK I cheated, it was a dTurbo. TORRRRRRRRRKKS!
It was a Ford Escort in a high risk postcode and that was from Academy Insurance Services who are a small broker. What is the first half of your postcode?
