£4,000 budget for a nippy, fun car?

Thanks

That's me!

Just rung Admiral, they said they would more than likely offer me 4 years NCB so it came to £1552.

£1552?!

When I was your age I paid £1k with 2 years NCB to insure a Group 17 230bhp 4 year old 5 Series.

Not everybody lives in a leafy suburb..

£1476 now, somehow the CUP is cheaper than the standard 172.

That's Admiral and elephant done, so many more to go

Ah yes, I forgot, he lives in Hertfordshire, well known for being a bit like Beiruit.

Oh wait no, Hertfordshire is probably the textbook example of a leafy suburb

Well any advise on what insurance companies to go with?

Cheap ones

Have you added both your parents as named drivers on your Elephant quote?

Yea, the Elephant quote was £2.5k

Admiral £1.4k

Kenai · 12 Nov 2010 at 18:08

That's interesting, i've never had Admiral and Elephant be any more than £20 apart for equivalent quotes.

georges · 12 Nov 2010 at 18:12

I did say!

Now do Multicar with admiral and put your parents car through it. (not with you on the policy).

Will probably be cheaper for them too and it knocked a couple of hundred off for me.

Also, it will only start for them when their current policy expires, so yours would start today, theirs would then only kick in later and you'd only pay for the x months left of the year before starting a new year.

Absolutely, very odd indeed.

Good car for MikeHiow that, under budget too so he could overpay on his mortgage.

That's clearly a lie, an EK9 is worth £6000 all day long, some Honda fan boys said so.
