fekyo Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Oh mate im only nearly 21 and ive only had a license since feb so I guess 952 aint that bad..i mean i pay 600 on my 1.6i 16v zetec mk6, but ive got 2 years no claims which obviously brings it down a bit, anyway Im not planning on buying an rst for a good year or so yet.

smithyandco Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 http://www.parkers.co.uk/insurance/ What I use to find out insurance groups. RS 1600 Turbo 3d (If that's the right one) Group 14 PS. your quote is £400-500 cheaper than mine on a 1.4 group 5 and I'm only a year younger than you and had my licence longer. Lucky Git!!

bluliz Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Insurance groups dont really mean much. My escort was 7.....and my ST170 is 15....yet they cost the same to insure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again no. it was an example to show how and why you should partially ignore the insurance group. some other group 15 cars...RS2k for example cost more to insure for me that an ST170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarFreak88 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 cheers, just been quoted 952.30 to insure one 3rd party f+t....ouch! thats what my 1.6 non turbo bog standard is with 1 years ncb lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again no. it was an example to show how and why you should partially ignore the insurance group. some other group 15 cars...RS2k for example cost more to insure for me that an ST170Ah, Ok.I'm just trying to gauge an idea of what to look for when picking a car based on insurance. Is it then more likely to be based on statistics then? Fictional example:100,000 Escorts 1.6s Group 7 had claims last year.20,000 Mondeo 2.0s Group 10 had claims last year. Mondeo 2.0 then either cheaper, same or similar as a Escort 1.6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
