Introduction and my new car

Lets Torque said:

I'm in Chesterfield and me and my family get good insurance quotes.

A freind also has a 2.2 Vauxhall Astra Coupe with 4 years NCB and is around £700 fully comp IIRC.. my suggestion is to look around.

Thanks
It really is just driving me around the bend, i can afford a proper performance car but the insurance just kills any dream lol.
so far only really used gocompare, swiftcover & admiral..will have to try find more to try out!
I'l stop with my unrelated posts now

Cheers chaps.

As for insurance, as I say its around £850 for me fully comp with 2 years NCB and I'm with Bell. I was with admiral on my old car but considering I only pay £150 more for this car with bell than I did with admiral for my old one, I'm not so sure I was getting the best deals!

One factor for me is the ever growing cost of petrol...few pumps round my way have hit the £1.40 for regular unleaded now. I'd love a performance car but I'd never be able to fully enjoy it because of the price of the fuel.

Thanks for the tip il give bell a try!

as I said, real jelous of you mate, gorgeous car! and trust me that is a proper performance car compared to my 1.4 bora...

Brilliant looking car, one of the best looking hatchbacks in recent times.

Spantney, just an update - called bell, best they could quote was £2400 for a 1.4 bora... Just dont know what i can do to get it down!

By the sounds of it mate you are getting proper done by your insurance. Mate of mine drives a 1.6 Bora (lovely cars btw), hes 21 and been driving about 2 months and he doesnt pay nearly as much. Maybe try a comparethemeerkat or moneysupermarket to see whats about. When i was doing quotes elephant offered me some good quotes too (they were about a tenner more expensive than bell).
