Leadfoot Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Finally decided that my insurance is going to be too much for me to afford as moneysupermarket.com have only come up with a quote of £1,500 something and that's for a bog standard 1.3 so I tried a quote for a Vauxhall Corsa and it returned me a quote of £1,193.78 so I'm now looking to swap my N reg Escort with MOT till october for a Corsa of the same sort of value, I'm not bothered whether it has dull paintwork or scratches or dents, as long as it has an MOT! so if you can help me out please let me know I would like it to go to a fellow Evo member or a friend of one as I love it to bits and don't want to get rid but at the minute I don't see any other way other than taking the engine out and replacing it with a 2.5hp Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engine and even then they'll probably bum-fcuk me for having a "Non-standard car or modified engine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Thats a very high price .I did a quote for my 1.3 and its only 380 quid. I haven't passed my test yet that quote was for when I finally pass ( 0 years no-claims , new driver) Try cofused.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_20 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 try bell .co.uk and add some older drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Tried Bell before with the exact same details and they quite literally were as drunk as a skunk, their lowest quote was £4k(and a few more quid) but they also wouldn't let me add any older drivers as I'm the named owner.
