Good luck with insurance companies...

Also, even if you manage to get a quote for less than 1,800 pound fully comp.....think about it, is a glanza REALLY worth that much to insure?

you can get more "metal for your money" for less insurance at that age.

I doubt any insurance companies would even quote him fully comp, and TPFT is likely to be atleast 2k!

Keep dreaming kiddo!

U've been through 2 cars in less than a year which were very good econimically and on insurance. I suggest you wait for another year before even trying to consider it. Insurance companies will feck you up so bad (thats if you get quoted) you won't know whats hit you. If you earn at least 2 years NCB then you may get away with a decent quote that wont force you to sell your ar5e on the streets to pay for the insurance. Not just that but the servicing intervals that are incredibly short as well, supposedly. IMO you'd probably be better off with something similar to what you have at present.

Hi mate, from what i can see you've probably not got the sort of advise you were after!?
I agree, see what your insurance company can do for you, after all they are only group 8 to insure anyway!
Secondly, if you feel that you can afford it, make sure you go and look at several different examples... theres alot of thrashed nails out there.
If you want my honest opinion, got for the Starlet, the EP82 is a much better car, and the Glanza's are heavier.
And if you feel really up for it, mines for sale now, im not sayin you'd want to buy it, but if you want to come and have a look mate, just shout.
Its a 1992 Starlet GT Limited (i doubt you'l find another one) with lots of extra's, very clean example though and religiously looked after.
And if you want any advise mate, just shout!
