Help me with a budget!

[JackG]

Well I don't know why they want so much, at work when I drive cars there is a 2500 excess if I crash!
I've never crashed (touch wood) no points, 1 years no claims, 21 years old,
Daylight robbery! Im awaiting a response from greenlight

Good luck with it jack but to be honest you will struggle to insure a group 18 car at a decent price at your age. I waited till 25 and insurance plummeted then a year later modified the car because greenlight will want you to already have a year in a performance car. If you can afford it it's different I guess but be patient young grasshopper! My insurance is now 700 quid at stage 2+ but was 1500 standard when I bought the car

I'd snap somones hand off with Insurance @2500!!
I don't drink or smoke and just spend all my money on my cars, I know insurnance is allways going to kill me tho but I'm just going to have to bite the bullet!
Does Insurnace on a manual cost more than a dsg?

when I was looking I said to myself if I couldnt get anything for less than 1200 I'd buy a 1.6l standard golf until NCB started to make a difference....

you'd have to be crazy to spend 4k on insurance

i got my edition 30 when i was 21, think i paid £1200, with 1 years no claims. That was with my parents on as named drivers, otherwise they wanted £1900.

If your not looking to mod straight away then try all the insurance search engines e.g confused.com etc. i found that my first 2 years of ownership admiral and elephant (both same company) were the best priced for young drivers. Of course if you mention a remap etc then they say no.
Of course it also depends where you live etc, also my car is kept in a garage and only used for social.

As mentioned already if your planning on modding then try Adrain flux or Greenlight, im currently with Greenlight

Greenlight won't Insure me and skyinsurnace won't too
I'll keep hunting :)
