On the issue of insurance. Not wishing to state the obvious but shop around!!
I have insured with Direct Line for the past 5 years. Not wishing to give my car life story. I have had two new saxos the first I had (about grp 3) I had two years free insurance with, because I didn't make a claim during those two years then I was given an extra year of no claims bonus. When I shopped around at 18 for insurance I was being quoted premiums of around £1500- £2000. I have moved on to a Saxo Furio (group 5) and now for full no claims including protected no claims discount and having my father as a named driving £364. Direct Line have now quoted me around £490 for the same policy on a Cooper. Which for a 23 yo male isn't bad going...in my opinion
Mini Insurance for the same policy quoted me over £1,000...even the woman on the phone was confused by that!!
