insurance.

[afcbadam]

can any body tell me who are the cheapest insurers for a zs 180. im 19 and the cheapest quote i can find is £1600.

[Mat C]

It will depend entirely upon your circumstances chief. Anything anyone tells you here is just from personal experiance revolving around their personal circumstances. Everyone is different so i'm afraid it's a case of shopping around and a process of elimination. Still, £1600 to insure a 180 at your age is nothing short of a miracle !!

[Jem]

Try a broker (touchline) ive been with them since i passed my test they have allways been good in their customer service,and they will help you find a good price

who is that with mate ?

[Boot Hill Bandit]

Try Greenlight Insurance.......

you have to have at least 1years NCB and its worth going the modded car route...

my quote was seriously cheap until I realised I had made a **** up and couldn't go with the quote. I won't say what......although I do believe I mentioned on here what I had done :whistle:

you can't get a quote if you have a hotmail addy either as it will delete it as spam as it did mine.......I set up a Gmail account ;)

£1600 isn't that bad at 19. In fact just yesterday i got quoted £1945 (25, 4 NCB, 3PP, and minor mods) for mine! Needless to say i didn't take it...

[Maxxed_Ross]

that's a bloody bargain! I was paying that for my 105 ZR at 19 and I'm still over £1k at 21 for the ZS.

Bite their hand off at that price!

[ian zs180]

That is a bargain i,m paying £750 at the mo i,m 40 and max no claims but i think thats well overthe odds for me its due next month so i,m gona shop around and see if i can get it for around £500 i would be happy with that .Try the likes of confused.com and all them thats what i,m gona do this time around .But that quote you got is gona be hard to beat i think

[Jem]

I would try my one aswell Touchline they are good,im 30 and paying £455 for mine,and thats with my partner on it aswell

I would... I've just got my renewal quote from the company i'm with today, and it's just under £740. I doubt i'll be able to better it but i'll try. There's nothing to loose. :) (25, 4Yr NCB, Minor mods & 3PP Declared)

HOW MUCH???? Soz to say this Ian but I'm 40 :( as well and have just paid £316 with Sheilas Wheels cos the doris is a named driver...fully comp protected ncb...went on gocompare.com and had plenty below 400 (esure, churchill to name a couple) get them fingers working mate....

[shroonie29]

Tried Greenlight today.£572.70 4 years no claims,all mods declared 34 years old (soon).mods covered,trackday insurance also available as an add on

Shroon

[Boot Hill Bandit]

Good good Shroonie ;)

Jim

[shroonie29]

Certainly pleased with that one.Not due till March,but I think AF will struggle to beat it TBH

Shroon

[Boot Hill Bandit]

I am certain they won't be able to beat it.

Greenlight cut my quote in half compared to the majority. In the end through a **** up on my side I settled with Admiral who was the next cheapest.

Jim

[wilko66]

well i'm with Halifax and i'm paying £275, full comp, but then i am an old git at 42, was paying £600 for my 180........hence one of the reasons i have a 120 now, that and the ever rising fuel costs

[ian zs180]

That is good mark 316 full comp looks like your right i,ll have to get them fingers workin pitty my girlfriend dosent drive maybe i,ll get here a provisional and L plates and get her on my insurance but then again a learner driver in a 180 i think the insurance company would laugh and say 2 grand please :thumbsdown:

[markyzs180]

hehehe...don't let her near it!! i've always had great quotes off esure and have used them for years, they had quoted 387 was about to it the 'buy now' button and gocompare ad came on the telly (who said adverts don't work!) 5 mins later, 316! Did phone them first to make sure they'd got everything right! I'm SURE you could get yours in the same price range or even chepaer than mine as I live in the Birmingham Bronx as well !!!
Good luck and post back what you got it for....

[Maxxed_Ross]

I put my mum on the insurance and it knocked £130 off a year... I just need to hide the keys so she can't actually use it when I'm offshore lol

[afcbadam]

[ian zs180]

And as for you saying you live in birmingham bronx well i can tell you skelmersdale were i live is just as bad infact a mate of mine calls it little baghdad :gathering:

[afcbadam]

[markyzs180]

Oh maaaaannn! Was trying to remember them, they got an office round the corner from me...don't think they would have beaten 316 but might just give em a try, you do get a 14 day cancellation period!

ian...most online quotes are valid for 90 days....get a cheaper quote earlier and you'll have longer smiling !!

[ian zs180]

looks like i,ll have to start looking then mark i,ll post back and let you know how i get on

[carmadbaker]

i pay close to £2000 with elephant to insure my ZS 180 at 18 with 1 ncb and a years drivin experience!!! now thats a friggin miracle! but hey....its only money :D

[henocsr]

i got quoted £875, am 23 with 6 years no claims and no points, with my missus as 2nd driver.

but if i insurance like i do now with admiral muti car i can insure my zs 180 and my rover 75 CDTi 131 for only £1100, which is quite good me thinks

[markyzs180]

Sometimes I'm glad I'm 40 :mml:........ then a nano second later I think I'd rather be 18 and paying 2k insurance....:laugh:

dunno how you young uns do it...my first car was a mini 850 (well thats what it said on the log book :shifty:) and was £125 or the year, 3rd party fire and theft at 17 years and 2 days! Was actually a 1380 with straight cut box......think I prefer my 180 though!!

[ian zs180]

know what u mean mate, save it from one place, spend it elsewhere!

have u got the workshop service sheets for the 180? you can make sure the garage is doing everything that mgr said should be done...brake fluid change is one item that springs to mind at 3 years...

[ian zs180]

no mark havent got the mgr service sheets but the aint changing the fluid i no that for sure they said oil and filter change,airfilter,pollen filter and check all the suspension bushes and brakes to make sure they are all ok . Its a place in preston i rang its called signature its advertised on xpf site so take it they deal in mg alot well they said they did on the phone anyway

My apologies ian (halfway thru a bottle of wine!) brake fluid is 2nd year then every two years...

have a look at this thread...

http://www.themgzs.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=598

gives a basic list of what should be done on each service.

may be worth checking if the brake fluid was done last year, mine wasn't and i'm about to get it done...

will find the link to the service sheets and post it...

[ian zs180]

cheers for that mark sounds about right what there doing on my 3rd service then .
