Saxxxo VTR

digitalwolf · 16 May 2006 at 23:57

Well, I want one.

I'm not a chav, but i've always liked them. They don't seem much dearer than a Fiesta 1.25 Zetec to buy and insure.

I rang quinn direct today and they gave me quote of £1450 TPFT PP which is £100 dearer than the Fiesta.

I am going tomorrow to see a 99V Blue VTR totally unmodified with FSH 55k miles (£1800)..........anything I should look out for? If it has lexus lights i'm walking away lol. I want something fun to drive...........right car?

digitalwolf · 17 May 2006 at 00:02

I think they look nice, interior is well.........Citreon lol.

This V Reg one I am looking at, will it be the 90 or 100bhp one?

How do the VTR's compare to the Fiesta Zetec S's?

Which one you got cymatty? VTR or VTS?

Is the suspension different on the VTR and VTS?

I have a posidoen blue 02 VTR, as far as i am aware there isnt any difference in the suspension setup, or if there is it is not a massive difference.

Nice to see it not chavved up!! Would be wanting to keep mine like that!

Is it worth paying the extra for the latest VTR?

Not sure on the fabric they used on the interior in the MK1 VTR lol

digitalwolf · 17 May 2006 at 20:56

Can I pick a MK2 up for £2k?

Thats the max I want to be spending.............

Will you just get lost already, its better to own a saxo than pretend you own a beemer.

Here is mine (a week before I traded it in):

I do miss how chuckable it was!

Hmmmm......nice colour

Think that thing would be out my price rang haha.

digitalwolf · 17 May 2006 at 21:02

Hmm.........now, do I pick up a Phase 1 for £1500>£2000 or wait a bit and get a MK2??

digitalwolf · 17 May 2006 at 21:12

Just seen a Silver one on AT for £2495.........it's a Y Reg.

If I could pick one up for £2300 i'd buy it, as long as it was nice to drive!!!

Well put it like this, I want it to stay standard, may lower it but i'm not tinting the windows, putting on new alloys etc.

I want to keep it at least 1 yr even 2 years.

The interior in the MK2 looks a lot better!!!

digitalwolf · 17 May 2006 at 21:27

I've got a slight problem

Insurance on the MK1 £1450
" " " MK2 £1750

Thats £150 a month on insurance for the MK2

If people are struggling to sell them.............can you knock them down?

digitalwolf · 17 May 2006 at 21:45

Correct me if i'm wrong but did they not change the interior in the MK1 in 99?

If I say i'm 18 it drops to £1300 on the MK1 , £1500 on the MK2.

digitalwolf · 17 May 2006 at 22:04

Not sure on blue dials in the VTR MK1 either haha.

digitalwolf · 17 May 2006 at 22:32

Whats the Furio like? Slow? It's 0-60 times are not super but it's basically a 75bhp version of the VTR/VTS.

Would be nice on the insurance too.

digitalwolf · 18 May 2006 at 11:48

Whats the max I want to be paying on a mint unmodded MK1?

£2k?

digitalwolf · 20 May 2006 at 20:04

I'm having problems with the Insurance.

I'm putting my DOB in as 15/05/1988 as I want to see the difference in quotes between 17/18.

I can't get anything lower than £1600 TPFT with PP, I live in a 1B category area so it's not that it's a ruff area or anything.

Is it worth me ringing these companies or is the website giving accurate quotes.

Tesco-Don't Want To Know
Direct Line-Don't Want To Know
Bell- £2000+
Admiral £2000+
Norwich Union £2000+
Quinn-Direct £1600

digitalwolf · 20 May 2006 at 20:29

On Quinn, can I say that I have 1 years driving experience as named driver? I've had about 6 months lol...........

Will they find out?

You are complaining about having to pay £1600 to insurance your first year on a Saxo VTR

(or have I missed something?)

I'm probs not going to find anything cheaper

digitalwolf · 20 May 2006 at 21:36

I've already passed and have been driving my mums new mini 1 for the last 6 months.

It makes a difference (£400) if I say I have name drivers experience.

How the hell do I proove this?

Can't your mum ring her insurance company, getting them to send a letter saying that you have been on her policy for x number of months?

Well yeh, but i'm sure I have to clearly state i've driven the car for 1 year. If that includes provisional, then i'd be fine because I was put on the insurance in September.

digitalwolf · 20 May 2006 at 21:57

I'm reading stories on the Saxo forum of guys/girls on there getting quotes from Bell/Elephant at 18 0 NCB £1300..........

I'm gettin £2k+................
