Whoa, thats SERIOUSLY cheap for a 1 year old 1 Series. Is it stolen?

Try Admiral for insurance.

Are you calculating cost per month and then adding an extra two months onto it to compare to others who are quoting for 12 month policys?

The elephant/admiral/bell group were the only ones who would insure me out of the companies i tried, with elephant being slightly cheaper than the other sister companys.

That's beyond cheap, it's impossible, surely!?

I know a girl that drives on as her first but I can't see any guys getting insured for reasonable money.

If you can't insure it, sell it on for profit

What, already? They bought you a car and becuase you couldn't find an insurance quote in one EVENING of looking (When all the decent brokers are closed) its now gone?

I thought this story sounded a bit dodgy, now I'm convinced.

Did the car even exist?

Conscript · 5 Sep 2006 at 23:01

Thats a crying shame mate, I really like the look of the 1 Series. I like that it has a classic look about it, with a high back and long bonnet

Would have been ace if you could have got a decent quote on it. Nevermind eh?

Yep. it sure did it was on the front my dad got rid as it was upsetting me at the fact i couldnt get insurance.

the only bad thing about it was a tiny scuff in the headlining, and no it wasnt ocuk BS.

it was bought for 8k off a friend. 9000 Miles on the clock.

I really wanted insurance id be trying all day. and know would insure me unless i was 19 and had two years of driving experience.
