Insuring an 8v

[OllieL]

Hi
I am a 21 year old student, and have had a silly idea about letting my mum have my 1.4 and moving on to an 8v!!
Anyone got any ideas of where the best place to insure it would be?
Ive got been driving 4 1/2 years and have no accidents or convictions. Been on the books with CIS so they might give me partial no claims. Anyone have any better ideas?
Cheers Ollie

Im 21 and pay peanuts for my 8v, insured with adrian flux.

 

[OllieL]

Oh rite, they told me they couldnt beat £689 that direct line quoted me. Think it was becuase i had direct line no claims (from my dad) and they wouldnt match that.
How much do you think is peanuts, im skint so im just trying to see if its possible or just a drea

Try Admiral or Bell and add your mum onto your policy as an additional driver.

I pay £450 on a midified policy, not bad at all.

i got mine through churchill, just shy of 600 fully comp. 21 yr old, 2 yr ncb

Mines with Diamond 1year ncb and I'm 18 (female though) lol

Try Bell they were cheaper then diamond for me. And add an older driver on. that normally helps.

im 20 3 yrs ncb and pay £470 TPFT with more than was gonna get fully comp for £500 and summit but didnt av enough money lol they were the cheapest i could find. Try using money supermarket they are a good comparison site.

Only just £420 with Drive any car on it too

Try Noel Dazley insurance brokers in Frimley - I pay less than £200 on a restricted mileage policy for my 8v with all mods declared. Only got 2 years NCB on the car as well. Going to let them quote on my S3 as well to see if they can beat Elephant.

Oh rite will give them a shout then. Thanks for all the help. How much should i look to spend to get a reasonable 8v - seen a silver one on ebay? My mates telling me I shouldnt bother, save up and buy his leon cupra.
Mk2 ibiza look so much better!!

wud you not be more inclined to get a 16v instead?? im 20 2yrs no claims and with elephant pay 670 tpft. i thort that was really cheap, and come renewal time which isnt far away its goin down to 470!

 

[OllieL]

Yeah I would like, but wasnt sure I could buy afford to buy and insure a good one. Id want Black or Silver and think that would cost. Think an 8v is more realistic
Any one seen the silver 8v on ebay 99p at the moment? Good or bad?


Edit
Hey sambo im near u too. From Stourport, but at Brum uni at the moment. That 8v on ebay is near us.

 

[Czechboy]

That's what I thought. Was going to get an 8v, but then I did some more calculations and found out the 16v is not gonna cost me that much more over the year. So I went full whack.

Altho paying £1250 a year in insurance alone isn't very nice, the grin I get from driving a valver at 18 definitely is

God bless summer jobs. GO FULL WAMMY as there is no point in doing things by halves

alright for some!

 

[Mckellar]

im only 19, and have an 8v CSGTI
with bell direct, mum on the policy (my name)
fully comp - 1 years NCB + 3points = £750!

i was only an extra tenner over my 1.4 aswell - crazy

 

[OllieL]

I know, i'd be happy with that!!!
Im not so fussed about being super speedy, just like the look of the 8v really and its something which i can realistically run and afford.
I really like the look of this one
