IG 1 for the 1.0 Basic Spec
IG 2 for the 1.0 Middle Spec
IG 3 for the 1.0 top spec

IG 2 & 3 for the 1.2 16v.

TBH the groups mean very little best bet is to get a quote.

Something else i have to consider is the car insurance as i havent got an unlimited amount of money to spend and the cheapest quote i have had is for the corsa 1.2 at £1495.

Firestar_3x · 17 Feb 2006 at 09:11

What about the 1.0 then, had a quote for that?

Would be interesting to see the price diff considering the 1.2 is a world away from the 1.0.

If your looking to buy the 1.2, no it isn't group 1, only some of the 1.0 12v versions are group one and tbh it would be silly to think about getting one of them

chopchop · 17 Feb 2006 at 09:17

are you buying new or nearly new? you may get free insurance if you buy new(you will loose a lot of money in depreciation buying a new corsa). but even then, 1495 isnt that bad for being a 17yr old new driver.

i suggest you try tesco as they were cheapest for me in my first year. maybe you could also try that "sheilas wheels" or another company that prefers female drivers.

I have tryed the corsa 1.0 for insurance and its about 1350 i think, but i wont be getting a 1.0 because the engine in the 1.2 is better than 1.0.

Thats where i got the quote from chopchop, have tryed other female preferred companies but they seem to be higher than tesco, will have another look at insurance groups.

When my sister gets back from work i'll ask her what insurance company she's with. She has a Corsa 1.4 16v Sport or an SRi.

TinkerBell · 17 Feb 2006 at 11:52

Thanks Enfield

Some female companys including sheilas wheels wont insure me because of my age

chopchop · 17 Feb 2006 at 12:05

heres a few female ones : http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache...female+insurance+companies&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1

Are you taking PassPlus?

rG-tom · 17 Feb 2006 at 13:59

pretty much all the free insurance jobbies are for 19+ now

1500 fully comp isnt bad at all, cheapest i can get TPFT on a 1.2 N reg clio as a male is £1900 lol.

That's probabaly because you live in Manchester.

Mackass · 17 Feb 2006 at 14:11

Try Norwich Union with PassPlus... they seem cheapest for me.

TinkerBell · 17 Feb 2006 at 14:13

was 3000 odd for me

You just gotta look hard, I finally got my Rover 1.4si TPFT for under £1200 with norwich union, all other companies were quoting around £2k and i wouldnt pay more than £100 p/m for insurance on my poor wage!
