Re: [FINALIZED] possibly up for sale black mr2 gts
i am 20 with 3 years no claims, that was the best quote i could get, pretty gutted but i was stupid to buy the car with temp insurance and i have learnt my lesson well and truly!!!! thanks
Re: [FINALIZED] possibly up for sale black mr2 gts
I think the only people your age have all paid around that. Sad fact of life mate, you aint gonna get a group 20 car for reasonable premiums at your age.
Best of luck with the sale.
Btw, IIRC a UK Celica GT4, with the same engine is a lower insurance group

There's something very, very wrong with that.
Unless you do 0 miles, keep it in a garage and live in a zero crime rate area, that's just not right. Mine didnt go below a grand until I was over 25 with 4+ years NCB
