Arouser 1.0 S

[amr276]

I'm 17 in a few weeks, and I've just bought a nice little Arosa, wahay

It's a 2001 Arosa 1.0 S, with a mere 104k miles on the clock. All for the grand old sum of £1875, good times



The current plan is to learn in it and sell it when I pass, unless I decide I can cope with the slightly camp/elderly image (no offence fellow Arosa drivers ), then I'll keep it a bit longer

aarrrr, how sweeet!

Looks in good condition, let hope you keep it that way!!

Yeah it's a fairly clean little thing, a couple of scratches and it's been keyed down the drivers side (Grrrr), but no dents at least (yet)

A decent set of rims and a tickle with a lowering stick and they're lovely little beasties

Hehe, if only, they wouldn't last 5 minutes on the lanes around here, they remind me of something you'd find in the depths of Russia, especially after the recent cold spell!

Thats realllly cheap!
For my first car,i had a 1.8 ford focus and the insurance fully comp on my own name was £2000.
I then sold that car as it was costing me too much on petrol and got myself an arosa 1.4 sport and its only like 61 quid a year cheaper than the focus! ouch!

is that quote based on a passed test or with someone else sat beside you who has already passed there test mate? the reason i ask is my son learning at the mo and the cheapest quote i can get is £2000 and thats for a 1.0 ibiza mpi on an R plate asuming he passed his test. who are you with if you dont mind me asking?

When you have passed you test, do the pass plus. My daughters insurance dropped by £200.00.

Hi, the quote was with Quinn Direct, with me on my provisional. Not fully comp, just Third party, fire and theft. Had my mum as an additional driver. I live in a low risk, remote area so that probably helps.

Make sure you can handle the power in that thing son

Ooh I don't know, I think I might stick a block of wood under the throttle pedal to stop me getting carried away!
