    Guys,

    Insurance problem, tried to get a quote from Peter Best and being 29 with 9 years no claims, no convictions, no claims means im too young to evn give a quote to.

    Anyone know of any other companies that are cheap?

    Thanks

    Jon

    You could try Adrian Flux as they can sometimes work out pretty good.

    When you consider you'll be spending £4000 plus a year on fuel then the insurance costs are fairly insignificant.

    The search is over............

    After an early start and a trip around the M25 we pulled up at the address where we had arranged to meet, following quite a few emails, we were met by a proud owner still polishing the front of a very smart looking ZT.

    It was perfectly what I had been looking for, black, low miles, SE with all the extras.

    Having arranged the RAC inspection for earlier this week there was only a couple of minor items mentioned so I was happy that the car was sound mechanically and it was just down to what I thought of it.

    The car looked amazing and once the insurance and driving licence had been shown we headed out for a test drive, the 260 burbled into life and after a careful drive heading out of town onto some duel carriage way we drove past a police speed trap so keeping the speedo exactly on the 50mph we headed back, I was already sold so once we were back we sorted the paperwork and I was on my way home with the 260, an hour and a half later I was still smiling.

    I am now the proud owner of 798
