1.3sr's

[nev08]

Hi i passed my test on Monday and i want a nova
so i just looked at a quote for a standard 1.3sr and its £3000 with 800 excess fee
as i am 18 i expect insurance in Bradford to be high but is this wrong or should it be about that ?
this was just a quik confused.com quote

back in 2001 i payed under £1000 as a new driver.

[nev08]

well this is fully comp
and quite a good area

i just looked at my bro's old 1.2 five door
cheapest is 2300 and 1000 excess

Welldone for passing your test...Trouble is matey your in the highest insurance area and novas are still nice cars to nick.Sorry matey. Good luck with your search.

...and the SR is the "sporty" option, so more attractive.

Try a 1.0, or if insurance really is an issue for you, get something small and ratty until you get that first years NCB - thats what everyone my age did, first cars were always the cheap turds (Ok, that does kinda include Novas ) to get that 1 year NCB.

Quinn may be your best bet (good for new drivers). Unfortunately (as far as car insurance goes) it doesn't get much worse than Bradford.

Nope, Bradford is absolute barsteward to insure a car.

I'm paying a shade under 2 grand TPFT for mine mainly because of the BD bit of my postcode.

Mate has his Puggy insured for 1700 fully comp because of the Leeds postcode he lives in.

But you live in cornwall, making your post irrelevant.

The place is so layed back they probably never learnt how to nick a Nova.

Its on the primary school cylabus in Bradford. Got a level 5 at SATs in year 6
