No Bloody way!!!

[JonB]

I been looking at possible cars for the future and was looking at a 1.8 Ford Focus Zetec with only 60,000 miles on the clock for £2,800.

I decided to do a quote on moneysupermarket.com and see what the damage would be.

19 yo, 1 years NCB and it only comes to £808 TPFT.

Thats nearly £300 cheaper than the quotes I have been getting for my Ford Fiesta 1.25!!!

Man, I need to get rid of this purple car.

Crazy....

I had toast for breakfast and found that slicing my own bread made it taste better!

I just bought a 48000 mile 1.8 Zetec Focus for £1850, look a bit harder

[JonB]

I did only look within 10 miles of Coventry.

Problem is I can't be arsed to sell my car.

Anybody want a nice Fiesta for £2,800?

I was getting quotes for corsa's at about £1200.

Tried a 306 1.9TD, £700.
The 306 2.0HDI was 600 odd and I tried a few entry level merc's and bmw's and they were cheaper than the 1.2 corsa!

I'm 19 with no NCB, Fuck knows how they work that out. I even tried huge saloon cars and they were cheaper than a corsa..

[JonB]

I think it's cause 19 year olds don't really go for that sort of car, but i've been in a 1.8 Focus and they go like stink.

Even better, if I go too fast and crash into a tree Fully Comp is only £70 more expensive.

Have a look at a 1999 to 2000 Ghia, can get them for about £1800.

Got good kit on them too. And I know what you mean about not missing bikes on cold winter mornings!

Every one knows Jon is old before his time

Its alright Jon. *hugs*

Quotes for me on Impreza's, Skylines and Supra's vary between £700 - £1200 tpft a year at 20 in the UK.

Yet for a bike on a UK licence they want up to £10,000

And if you think a focus 1.8 is fast .... please shoot your self

After being a keep passenger in my stepdad's focus ST, i simply couldnt have a focus that wasnt a full spec ST.

OK, it would be good...but knowing what i would be missing....
