not possible?

what do you reckon to a 20yr old with 0ncb buying 1.4 zr as first car would the insurance be to much do you think.is it a bad idea?

also i no sum places you can get a years free insurance on a new car.but do some places give you a yr free insurance if the car has been used say 20k miles and the car cost 5k?

Confused · 2 Feb 2007 at 13:55

It depends on what you call "too much" for insurance.

For some £300 may be "too much" for others £3000 may be acceptable.

denby · 2 Feb 2007 at 13:56

do you think 1800 is about right.

paradigm · 2 Feb 2007 at 13:58

I'd say its slightly OTT. I paid less at 19 with no NCB on a new saxo VTR (£1100 Comp.).

Who have you tried for insurance?

Churchill/Tesco/Nationwide (same underwriters) are always cheapest for me.

denby · 2 Feb 2007 at 14:00

used confused.com quinn direct came back cheapest on 3 quotes i did

rover 214 bubble shape
ford escort
mg zr

all 1.4s

I've only known people have issues with Quinn. That and confused = crap for young drivers. They only seem to search a finite number of expensive (for young drivers) insurers, and then add their "commision" on top.

Just go quote yourself with the major players:

Tesco
Churchill
Norwich Union
CIS
Direct Line
etc...

denby · 2 Feb 2007 at 14:05

ok thank i will

do you think that maybe a zr is too quick for a new driver?

paradigm · 2 Feb 2007 at 14:06

Not at all, the ZR105+ isn't that quick at all.

aMb · 2 Feb 2007 at 14:15

Shouldnt be a problem if you shop around... I'm also 20 with 0NCB and insured on a 1.8 Focus fully comp - having said that it is only IG6 or 7.

denby · 2 Feb 2007 at 14:17

how much did that cost ?

denby · 2 Feb 2007 at 14:38

where do u check wut IG cars are id like to see what IG the zr 1400 is.

paradigm · 2 Feb 2007 at 14:42

ZR 105 and 105+ are IG9.

denby · 2 Feb 2007 at 14:45

thanks

where you get that from?

paradigm · 2 Feb 2007 at 14:46

www.parkers.co.uk

Dup · 2 Feb 2007 at 14:46

I pay £1300 with 0NCB 2 fault accidents on a 1.4 IG5 Pug 206. I'm 21 btw.

Bit of a rough deal but, that's what happens when you lack concentration whilst driving.

denby · 2 Feb 2007 at 14:48

Why not get a VTR, cheaper insurance, just as quick and no HGF.

denby · 2 Feb 2007 at 15:25
