Viewing: Quick question

**Wod** · 30-09-2008, 10:39 PM

Im looking to buy a first car, so iv got a couple of questions if you could help me

?
I want some information on good places to find cheap insurance, i think the best bet is to get my dad to insure it and go on as a named driver?
Also, my mate thinks hes managed to get a 106 1.4 at 700£ for a year with his dad?, reckon thats possible? he only lives round the corner.
Also if these cars are the same kinda price to insure?, what is faster? a corsa 1.2 16v or a 106 1.1?
Many thanks

Thanks for the reply, yeah i know. I managed to get 998 on a 1.2 sxi corsa b. Just trying to find out which ones faster, i know it wont be a big difference but its the way i am lol

First of all, you shouldn't be looking to speed around the streets. Second of all, neither a 106 1.1 or a Corsa 1.2 will be particular quick. There are many low engined cars about so you should be able to find one quite easily. Get yourself a collection of insurance companies to ring round and just try some test quotes. You can also do this with confused.com. If you insist on getting a Corsa, don't get a bubble Corsa (Corsa B).

Welcome to the forum by the way.

**Wod** · 30-09-2008, 10:57 PM

I know they wont be

, why not a corsa b?, i would get a corsa c but im not looking to spend over a grand. My mate reckons gocompare is the cheapest :S but i guess it all depends?
And thanks mate

**lutonmatt** · 30-09-2008, 10:58 PM

corsa c's are better but more money

but none of them are quick nor will be unless you put a nother engine in but like prince said you are a new driver the streets are not there to be raced around

**Wod** · 30-09-2008, 11:03 PM

I know, i know. I think the there both the same top end anyway. I guess itl be easier to get a 106 as my uncle has a breakers yard for peugeots and citreons

.
I think the best option for me is to buy the one cheapest to insure then right?

**lutonmatt** · 30-09-2008, 11:10 PM

ah get a 106 then loads of bits handy or a 1.1 saxo

**Wod** · 30-09-2008, 11:12 PM

Yeah thats what im thinking, some parts are the same too

ill just have to see whats cheaper to insure

ouch!

One for the corsa, 106 up next

**Wod** · 30-09-2008, 11:28 PM

Just quoted the 106 1.1 zest2 just a better looking version i suppose and got the same price as the corsa. Mayaswell get a 106

or an extra 100quid for a 1.4 i think is better

hi and welcome mate a little tip for insurance add a lady as an aditional driver 9 times out of 10 it brings your insurance down as daft as it sounds i saved £60 just for adding my wife to my car not much but its better in your pocket and if you are looking at 106's or saxo's make sure they are 4 stud as the 3 stud versions are very limited on wheel choice

**Wod** · 30-09-2008, 11:33 PM

nice tip, thanks pal. And i would add me mum but shes not got a liscence, shes got a provisional though? Or can i add any female driver?
Cheers

Now thats what im talking about

Be careful insuring cars in parents names. You will not be able to use the car as the main driver which would preclude driving to work/college.

**Wod** · 01-10-2008, 05:14 PM

I can use it as the main driver and it says i can do that
