Hal1 · 07-04-2015 01:15AM

I'd love a golf, even just the space to put it in... Right here's another the same location last summer

Not comparing like with like there though are you?

dashcamdanny · 07-04-2015 09:21AM

Wheels on the 3dr focus look great. Nice motor.

@Techie - what was it that you preferred about the Toledo compared to the Octavia???? - if you don't mind me asking.

Best of luck with the car anyway - hope it does a good job for you

Drove both of them back to back, preferred the drive in the Toledo, Octavia felt very heavy compared to the Toledo.

Thanks.

Would love an st 170 and would save for one but only one problem, over 4k for me to insure one.

That seemed pricey allright, so I wanted to have a look how much insurance would cost me for this.

Turning 20 this month. I will have 2 years NCB on my own name on August 2015.

I'm doing ok paying 530 fully comp so! I'm old tho at 30!

I'm paying 950 on the 1.4 Golf / 1.6 Bora. (Third party only, no windscreen cover or anything else really)

That ridiculous quote was with 123.ie and I'm sure I could have gotten a cheaper quote but still. Also, I was able to get 10k cheaper just by changing address and occupation. Weird.

colm_mcm · 07-04-2015 08:47PM

Instalments of ONLY €2,389 per month

Gavman84 · 07-04-2015 08:49PM

I'm with 123 too they were by far cheapest for me when looking!

Supergurrier · 07-04-2015 08:55PM

123 were the cheapest for me for 2 years then 3rd year then increased my premium 80% with no explanation so i went to nononsense

Won't be staying with them come changing time though as customer service is crap and having to pay 80 quid to swap insurance for a day is stupid

Atlantic Dawn · 07-04-2015 09:05PM

I don't think I have ever heard of a quote over €5k, getting one for almost €25k must be a record. They must not do simple "we don't quote for these cars" anymore, perhaps the PFO quote is meant to put you off on its own.

Are you a stuntman living on the Sun?

Backfire · 07-04-2015 09:34PM

This might seem like an odd addition to this topic...

And I know its not something you'd see everyday.

But I said I'd post a couple of pics of my pride n' joy

Suzuki Escudo Nomade 1996
1.6L petrol.
Jap import of the vitara, selectable 4x4, etc.

She just passed the NCT last week. I only use this mainly for 'trucking around', on a regular basis, but not on long journeys as you can guess, I use a BMW 3 series, diesel 02' model for that.

GvidoR · 07-04-2015 09:36PM

Looks very nice, Backfire.

Old diesel · 07-04-2015 09:38PM

Looks nice Backfire.

And no - its not odd at all - this is what the threads here for - pics of your car - - its your car - so great to have it here

I got a quote of €5,500 for a '02 Corolla last year!

The year before my sister was getting quotes of up around €7,000 as she had a claim against her.

Love that Suzuki, it's a perfect little off road machine!

This is my new whip while the Mazda is keeping it's "project" status. :pac:

What was the source of the not starting problem?

Well, the clips on the fuse box in the engine bay were broken off so it was difficult to get in, when we did, it was discovered that the 80amp main fuse had been opened and clipped in the middle.
Definitely clipped and not blown as there was no burn markets, no white, black or blue smoke marks and not broken because well, that's impossible.

Someone that had access to the car before me broke it...
I've had this verified by a Nissan Technician.
