Youngest stepson poped intothe lounge on his way to bed, just happened to mention...........

Talked him out of it ::) Mentioned that it is a pity the Mig is an auto, he said it does not matter :o :o :o
What group is a 2.0L mig estate auto?
I did have a look at the weekend, thing is our Mig, a spare car, is far too good to sell, for what I would get for it, even as a px. Took it out on Saturday, lovely car. ::)

I wonder if it would actually work out more economical to insure him on the mig than buying and insuring a small car :-? :-? :-? :-?

Somehow I doubt it though ::) ::) ::)

That's what I am beginning to wonder :-/ We know the car and it is in very good nick, worth what though? £4-800 ish, could buy a load of old rubbish for that, or get a gem, it is a gamble.  To late tonight, might run an insurance check tomorrow, put him on mine, my primary car is a lease car so fully insured regardless :y

Insurance as a named learner driver is probably not going to be too bad.... it's when he passes his test the insurance becomes ridiculous.

Did a check on 'Confused.com' had to fib a bit to get a quote, won't quote till he is 17 ::)

Now he tells me he got a quote for £1900.00 on a £400.00 Pug 106
Got quotes for me with him as a driver from £885.35 with Admiral to £3451.00 with the Post Office :o :o
Just looking at options. ::) ::)

Buy him a scooter  :y

That was last year :D :D :D Keep up........... ::) ::)

Roller Blades? ::)

The difference between insurance companies is ridiculous.

I am 25, no convictions, 5 years no claims, and clean history.

Swiftcover charge me under £400 a year on my V6 Omega, for fully comprehensive (although, I had to talk nicely to them).

I am eligible for another company (who I was assured I wouldn't beat) - and they want over £1500  :o and told me it wouldn't be cheaper elsewhere  ::)

Absolutely!!  :y

I have never, ever, struggled with insurance before - I'm not sure if the economic situation is making it harder  :-/

£1900 on a pug is crazy. My first personally owned car, at 18, was a pug 405 1.9, and it was £1100 to insure.....

You were robbed then, my eldest stepson had the same car, a hand me down, was a lttle over £800, he is 24 now. :)

you could try directline. they do some good quotes on there and you wont find them on any comparison sites. tesco works out a good price too sometimes!

give money supermarket .com a go they are pretty good .worth a try note to lose  :y
