    Try the comparison bit on quidco as they were much cheaper for me than the ususal comparison sites.
    The best bargains are priceless!!!!!!!!!! :T :T :T

    Do you know that insurance groups have changed now.

    It used to be 1 - 20

    Now it is groups 1 - 50

    i seem to recall that when comparing before i bought my car (uncool nissan micra), comparing several different ones, the group didnt seem to make that much difference. i tried groups lower than the micra, but they came out more. i dont know what group the micra is
  • what i dont understand is i have a toyota supra as my weekend car, i wanted to buy a little 205 peugeot to run to work.
    why is it that i can insure my supra 3 times over to the price of a tatty 205 which is 20 year old

    Because its a supra!! Twin turbo models make an m3 look slow,most have been ruined by their owners f*cking about with boost thinking they're starring in Fast n Furious. 3 times the quote of some crap 205 is bloody good.

    And a supra is a damn nice car. Its number 2 in my dream garage, just behind the exige.

    I think he meant that the 205 costs 3 times as much as the Supra to insure.

    Most likely because the 205 is largely owned by boy racers these days and has the accident history to go with it.

    This is also an 18 month old thread btw.
