rs turbo

[DUNOVA.]

Been looking for a renault 5 turb no joy in finding a good one so today I went to look at a escort rs in mint condition on a G plate prob the most standard rs I have seen 1700 quid 3 owners the current owner is a 42 year old ladie what do you reckon good buy?will post pics if my mum decides to give me the money for this car as she wants me to get a sensible car lmfto im 19 but she is buying it for me :D

check whether the 42 year old woman has an 18 year old son. I knew someone that registered their car in their parents name, so they could sell it without the hassle of peoplt thinking it was a boyracers car. It was a good idea, but you have to have the car registered in someone elses name all the time you have it, otherwise it would add another owner onto the list!!!

get an insurance quote before you go any further last thing you want is a car sittin in your garage you can't drive!

madness! wouln't pay over 1k insurance unless it was for an escort cossie!

[jkhilton]

I've been looking at escort cossies(along with this other 4 seater convertible!!) the insurance is ridiculous on them, I got quoted ?1500 fully comp!!! I was paying around 8 or 900 fully comp on my MR2 turbolast year and have had a few quotes on other high performance cars and they are all around ?800 fully comp.
I would love a cossie, but they are just too much to run.

that's why you normally see middle aged men driving them!
if i can find one for the right price i have plans to get one in a couple of years as a second 'good weather' car on a limited mileage policy :D
