LupoHarry Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi all,I joined the forum after Google search's leading me here when looking at...... well Lupos, and must say that it seems like my kind of site haha, all about cars, I am currently looking at getting a Lupo (a black 1.0e to be exact with a view to modifying it etc. After searching through different topics have made my own list of mods that i would want to carry out lol, but before i even buy one, I need some help, and its with you've guessed it... insurance, being 17 the quotes i get for anything other than a 50cc scooter, are always mental in cost, so could you possibly point me in the right direction of a good insurance company that you've had experience with, and any similar quotes, (since I've seen other posts about other lads my age getting Lupos...)Cheers, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Apparently adding your mum as a 2nd named driver will bring it down considerably.Also you may wish to consider one of the tracking devices which some companies supply.Location would help as it's hard to compare different postcodes.

LupoHarry Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Cheers for the replies lad's, but matt123roll showed me Coop insurance (with a tracker) and quotes are cheap! Silver! how much does it cost you to insure your beautiful GTi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Just under £200 fully comp, business cover, £0 voluntary excess, £70 compulsory excess and more...I have a multi-car from Admiral and the total for the GTI and the Dune TDi comes in jsut shy of £200 with the same details on the Dune.Dune_6 by Ray Crabb, on FlickrAnd thanks for the compliment.

Fob163 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 admiral and mum as a named driver brings it down by £1000-£1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupoHarry Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Cheers lads got it down to £998 fully comp with Coop so far ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 £998 for a new driver at 17 is cheap, like really cheap. My first years insurance was a bit more than that and I was 21.As above, adding parents as named drivers usually brings the price down. Limited milage is also a good thing.

LupoHarry Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yeah, its far better than other mad quotes I've been getting from else where so i'm liking the idea of changing to a Lupo a lot..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbisH Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Hey bud.Might sound stupid but have you put your details into compare the market. com?Then you can sort by cheapest first? Might be worth a try as this gets all insurance quotes from loads of firms ive never heard of?*DubbisH* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LupoHarry Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Thanks lad's may just give elephant a try since co op do not insure any mods But i'm currently learning to drive in my Citroen C1 Code , which is worth a few quid so i'll keep it until around December, then i'll get a lupo and start my dream first/ second car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been given £50 back off my policy from the co op with a tracker and I always do 80 on the motoroway, 40 in a 30, drive at night etc. People are put off by trackers but I'm 18 and paying £750 on my own policy on my 1L Lupo. For me the pros far out weigh the cons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I can handle 80 in a 70, but 40 in a 30 is atrocious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's all about doing 99 + in 30's so that you put those silly speed things off the limiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt123roll Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's all about doing 99 + in 30's so that you put those silly speed things off the limiter.My insurance gets canceled if i do double the speed limit or anything over 105mph my lupo tops out at 96mph so that ain't an issue but doing 60 in a 30 is :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
