JBOB 0 Posted May 9, 2005 A car with high mileage but has been looked after should be ok. 1K sounds like quite a good deal but id start low and see where you go from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ejmgt 0 Posted May 9, 2005 ok cheers fella, looking at insurence to cause im only just 20 wit no no-claims, but i will guess it will be around 1600 cause thats how much my g40 was with around 140bhp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBOB 0 Posted May 9, 2005 My insurance is with Adrian Flux / ensign and they were half the price of anybody. But it depends on so many different things that the best thing is to just get as many quotes as poss. There’s a thread on here somewhere that lists loads of Ins Co's, do a search for it.
