My insurance is due 16th Feb (18th birthday) so considering my age and speeding ticket Im looking at £2000 - £3000 and I haven't got the money.

Therefore My car may be up for sale at some point, and I probably wont come on here much then. :(
 
dont drop out-drop in:grinning:
your right its way cheaper to insure a 1litre ford?,,,or used to be
not happy for you at all.
 
I take it you have tried all the comparison sites and rung around? tried getting your parents/girlfriend on the policy etc.?
i dont think it should be anywhere near that amount!
also you should have 1 year NCB no?
 
Cant believe insurance is so damn expensive! That and the constant rising fuel prices are putting me off learning to drive.:(:(
 
well i have been a good boy. and checking online today my insurance is due to go up by £200. Up not down?
lol like i'm having that, make it cheaper or i'll go elsewhere.
the thing is the companies want your money and some will compete against each other. :grinning:
 
Yeah tried everywhere, insurance companies don't like young drivers end of, theres not much I can do about it (modifications not declared either!:wasntme:)

So I will definitely be selling the car in February.
 
insurance seems to be on the rise everywhere :( i was 420 fully comp with my mazda eunos but im 490 with the micra. Same company, same no claims and everything :(
Sucks about your quotes though. You tried footman james and adrian flux. There normally quite good.

I would do the same but with a kid on the way I need a car

Have you tried being a named driver with your mum or dad as main?
 
Its getting to a stage that driving a car at a young age is fast becoming unafordable with sky high insurance and the rising cost of petrol
 
have you thought about not having insurance, the cops only fine you £400 and thats if they catch you, which i think is a much better deal than what insurance companies are offering
 
How much should I sell it for, £300 ???

The tax runs out at the end of this month but I'm going to tax it for 6 months for whoever buys it. The MOT runs out in November 8th.Its approaching 124000 miles however the engine runs as sweet as a nut

  • Frankspeed manifold
  • Janspeed Downpipe
  • Straight pipe rather than backbox

Bad Points

  2. Bumper will need a re-spray

In all seriousness try insuring your parents car, so you can build up your no claims

I dont really need a car though, and if I did get caught speeding again there goes my license! so the plan is sell the car and when I come back the points will have cleared and insurance should be lower as Im older etc.
 
eliot, i had to leave for 2 years before(leave my micra that is) as i hadnt found this site before due to being netless
hope things smooth out for you
basicaly their trying to crash paper money=which means mismanaging global finance=which means rising prices for ever and ever--------you know we used to own gas electric railway then some weirdos sold it ------ back to us--but we already owned it?, good scam in it
 
keep in touch Eliot,,,,untill your back
could ride shot gun to meets gatherings what-not----just dont give up on us
 
Went for a good price, suprised you just didn't sorn your car. Mine been sorn'd for 2 years now but I hate that.:down:
 
Eliot, you can go but you can never leave!
The short time I have had a Micra its in my blood, especially with the help from this forum.
Good luck what ever road your journey takes you.
