Bye-Bye Puma?

[thfc]

Unfortunly I may be saying bye to the Puma in a couple of days as insurance for it has rocketed and I wont be able to afford to run it anymore. So I am probably going for a sensible turbo diesel or a 1.6 rxe clio :'(

It's the way it's going for a lot of people at the moment unfortunately.

Well the insurance for the Puma is about £1850. So I was thinking about getting a 306 turbo diesel. It would cost me about £500 cash and £1177 to insure. So thats only a £200 saving. But I suppose the 306 would be cheaper to run as it will be doing around 55-60mpg. Really don't know what to do now :|

Insurance has gone mad this year mine is £280 comp protected but the excess has gone up to £500 NOT GOOD WHEN THE CAR IS WORTH ABOUT £800. :-(

That's not a huge saving on the Pug really OH traded in his Civic VTI for one last year and has regretted it. His was fuel cost reasons not insurance, he says filling up once every 3 weeks compared to once a week is nice but everything else is dull. He's now saving for something "fun" again.

Have you got an older "experienced" driver as a named driver? I added my Mum when I lived at home as it reduced the premium a bit.

i was looking a few mins ago might be taking the puma off the road for a year but not selling it love it to much lol, ill just use a bus and train and bike for a year, but this might not happen hopefully

The saving is quite alot when your earning £30-a-week lol. I have got older named drivers on. I really do want to keep it but the MOT and tax run out at the same times as insurance. So I wouldn't be able to afford almost £2,000. Hopefully next year I'll have a job and can buy a Millinium.

Tried Ford Insurance?

They were the cheapest for me and I live in a mega bad rating error.
