Hi guys,

I've recently just had a car crash, fortunately i wasn't the one in the wrong Some moron in a 4x4 landrover ploughed into me.

I used to/was driving a mint condition Celica GT-four 2.0 Turbo was about 467BHP it's now totaled im waiting for my insurance company to assess the damage but it's likely it's a write-off. Estimating i'll get about £2500 for it. shame since it's actual value is around about £6-8000 .

I'm currently 20 previously insured on my GT-four for £2700 full comp with Co-op insurance.

I'm thinking of getting a Fiesta ST for my next car i've seen a few on the roads they look pretty decent and well put together. Not fast but a decent hatchback that looks nice.

I'm going to view this one tomorrow in colchester link below

http://www.motors.co.uk/VehicleDetails.aspx?carID=20721163

Are they good for over-taking speeds 40-70mph?

Before i even go digging amongst insurance groups for quotes what do you reckon this would set me out for on insurance for 20 year old 2 years no claims?

Cheers

welcome along.
Pretty much in its best rev band at those speeds and will accelerate without changing down, drop it a gear and plenty enough. Room for an extra 50bhp with bolt on parts and remap, I like my Mountune Stage 1 which give me more torque and very easy overtaking or accelerating from low down, stage 2, adds cams, drop that a cog hit 4k and it flies, stage 3 out now for 200bhp. Can also add a supercharger for bonkers speed, some on here on running 300BHP.

I just got a quote last night for 640 with elephant. Shopping around after paying 680 with admiral last year.

21 with 3 years NCB.

Admiral is probably your best bet. It works out a lot cheaper to pay it in one go with them rather than monthly.
