Re: What are you doing today ??

At least you're getting it done at the right time of year. You can put your feet up and demand you get waited on over Christmas.

Re: First Time Buyer

It's crap. There's no excuse for house prices being what they are. I bought a house about 19 years ago. It cost me £50,000 for a 2 bedroom terrace. I was on £20k a year at the time. That 2.5 x salary was about right. I could buy the house, have a bike, go on holiday and ...

Re: Talking about insurance

Fwiw I change our vehicle policies every year, have done so since long before Compare the Meercat & the others were around. I realised very early on that there was always another insurer who would offer us insurance cheaper than our renewals. ...

Yep, legally enforced too.
Let's face it, insurance is about the only thing that we dutifully pay every year & yet keep our fingers crossed that it's a waste of money.

Re: What are you doing today ??

... price to renew has gone up as although we have honored your 50% discount, the discount was applied to a premium of £1000 and not £750 like last year, so your cost to renew is now £500 not £375 (swear)

Re: Cav's ZX6R Review

I have a 12 year old fiesta and that was about £400 with 1 years NCB but I was 20 when I first insured it.

I paid £1000 for the ninja for the first year TPFT too, £500 fully comp for the second year

Re: Cav's ZX6R Review

I thought the quote I was given for the SX from my insurers at the time was bad - £1,000

I'm pretty much certain 5 years discount is the most they'll give.

I do wonder about modern day insurance companies. My mate's 19 year old son has been quoted £7,300 for TPFT on a 15 year old Fiesta.

Re: Cav's ZX6R Review

So you have a reference my ZX6R cost me £314 to renew this year with 6 years NCB and IAM qualification.

Have a guess at how much an RSV4 will cost and I'll do a quote to let you know..
