dont fret, they do XXXXXXXL crash helmets now, should easily cope with your over abundent brain. its all good bud.
Haven't got my license yet, but for under ten grand, i'd have an old skyline gtr. Can pick up a nice 97 model for about 8 grand.
just seen your 20 - insurance on that will set you back as much as the car. Insurers are cutting down big style on young drivers and effectively pricing themselves away from young drivers. I pay a couple of grand for my Type R and thats because i "know a guy that knows a guy" Its a disgrace!!
The OP didn't mension insurance. Just what you'd get for ten grand. I know how horrible insurance is. I was on autotrader trying to get a quote for a jaguar xkr. I actually got a quote in the end, of 35 grand a year.
If i want a civic type r (and i do) the insurance would set me back 5 grand a year. When i'm a qualified solicitor, that won't seem so bad.
I used to work in insurance for Quinn Insurance. It is all a con as they charge you huge premiums for a piece of paper showing something you hope you never need. £500 for my 1.6 ltr Mazda 3 with a full NCB is a joke.
sorry bigtimer. i dont know any 20 year old qualified solicitors George - Quinn were cowboys. Glad there out of business. Used to send the "boys" round with a settlement cheque well less than it should have been and basically bullied folk into accepting their offer - horrible company
sorry - just read you said you worked for them, i thought you said you were insured by them. i take back my im glad their out of business then Sean Quinn is still in the business and has his own brokers
Yes they were. They actively lied to customers about the hike in premiums after passing a driving test. They aren't actually out of business though, they are still trading under new ownership so I imagine they will try and get back into the UK market.
did they manage to keep their licence in Ireland? WIth solvency 2 coming into play in the coming years i cant see them making it back into the UK. Not sure how much you know about your insurance but you seem to know enough seen today that IAG are selling ERS and pulling out the UK - strange move giving the current position in the market cycle
I've still got a year of uni left, then i have to do work experience etc. It's about another 5 years til i'm fully qualified. Thats why you don't see 20 year old solicitors.
They have been trading in Ireland all along while the administrators looked for new owners and found an American outfit willing to take them over. They will want to get back into the UK market but whether or not they will remains to be seen. Personally I don't think they should as they were not making enough out of it when they were trading there. I'm no expert on Insurance but I know a bit from having worked in it but my expertise is in IT
£320 per year fully comp insurance cos I'm an old **** I bought the car from an 18 year old, his insurance for it was £3600 per annum
no wonder the poor **** had to sell it! a hope you used it to your advantage when negotiating "nah its cool, ill just leave it - you pay your 3600 insurance"
