Can someone explain...

why it will cost me £800 less to insure a 2.0 L200 pickup than my 1.0 Micra, I'm thinking of getting a new car lol.

l200 pickups are classed as a family saloon, believe it or not micras are hot hatchs, i laughed a little aswell, i can get insured on my micra for 400, thats with 3 years experience,no no claims and 5 points!!! oh and a free mot

 

[ollyc98]

Oh right cool, I'll be buying one of them next then, I can store my micra on the back.

haha now theres a plan,i actually know a few lads who run l200's, one has a warrior, and he aint that rich lol

also if you were to crash the l200 it would just plow through whatever you hit and continue with minimal damage so insurance dont have to pay out much on those hahahahahahaha

I want the old skool L200, the new one looks like a smart car with a pickup bed welded to the back.

Damn I tried getting a quote from Direct Line for one and they wouldn't insure me!

 

[ollyc98]

Post office insurance were the only ones and they only wanted £1200, now I need to work out if the extra cost in fuel is less than 800...

 

[Maccy]

That's not bad actually - FC or TPFT?

 

[Alienfish360]

I know a lot of people that buy Fiat Coupes, Supras, Skylines, Pulsars etc

They're not expensive to buy or insure really. But they all sell them 3 months later when they realise how expensive they are for fuel.

One of my friends drives a Navara. It's great when we are going shooting or fishing, but not so good around town, particularly when trying to park! Looks smart though.

 

[ollyc98]

It's TPFT, I don't see the point in fully comp. The extra fuel and tax costs won't add up to £800, plus if I get a diesel I'll save even more.

So true! my sister had a cop car go into the side of theirs at over 90mph, just knackered the doors and gave the baby a bit of a fright. Would get expensive in Bristol tho as theyre always getting their tyres slashed!
