Just got a quote on the Mondeo ST200 and its coming in £900 at the cheapest. Which is over my limit i'm afraid.
How old are you? For insurance purposes only Im not being creepy!

Ive got an ST1 postcode (city centre) which isnt too good compared to trying a couple of mates addresses out in the past. When I insured my car nobody could get within £500 of Bell, Elephant & Admiral's quotes after adding my parents as named drivers. Adding them saved me around £300 IIRC.
Grab a copy of Autocar next time your doing your food shop. Lists the insurance group of every current car out to buy. Should give you a rough idea
Grab a copy of Autocar next time your doing your food shop. Lists the insurance group of every current car out to buy. Should give you a rough idea, iirc the 1 series is only group 10 for some of the smaller engined models where as some of the more powerful 3's end up around 16/17.
HAHA you live in stoke!

Why pick something up? he has the internet, it has everything he needs ;]
1 series or a powerful 3 series is not worth recommending tbh
I find the Autocar index at the back a lot easier than the websites, has all the different models and important figures. For the sake of £2.50 (and it's a pretty good mag) then it's well worth it imo.
He was asking about insurance groups, I was under the impression a current 3 and a 5 year old 3 are likley to have very similiar IG, obviously value of the new 3 will push up a quote but the IG should be the same.

[TW]Fox;13077290 said:A poor assumption to make. A 5 year old 3 Series is an E46, a brand new one is an E90. They are completely different cars with completely different engines. New car IG's are of no value to the OP. Plus, he has a budget of £2k which is going to be getitng him a 10 year old 3 Series not a 5 year old one.
