this was in the sun newspaper the other day and we moan about cost of our insurance imagine how this guy felt!!!!!!

Its clear that they didn't want his custom, hence the price. Remember my dad saying years ago, if he didn't have time to do a job, he would quote stupidly high prices, rather than turn people away...if they said yes, he would make time to do it.

Not sure why they point out its a £600 Corsa, you can do the same amount of damage in a £600 car as a £600,000 car.

in the write up in the paper it was saying the cheapest quote he got was just over 7k i know as i do the same with car repairs i dont want to do but i still think its a bit over the top.....deposit was 16.5 k plus 10 monthly payments of about 5.5k but i have always found meerkats to be expensive i prefer to be confused

This is nothing new and an old practice - really can't see why it made the National papers, slow news day I take it...

what sort of idiot buys a car without checking if he can afford insurance before hand?

This kid should just stump up the 72k and try and build up so no claims and shut his whining. I had to pay £650 at 23 to insure my first car.

I remember i had a quote of £64k for a Ferrari F40... These type of quote are nothing new. As Stu said it must have been a slow day..
