Default Overpriced?

I'm looking for something faster than what i already have.

A t4 is a nono, my insurance will go through the roof.

Does this look overpriced for the mileage and stuff?

Nice car but yep, 2.0T isn't worth that much, especially with 120k on the clock

Granted mine is a T4, but my 2002 T4 (very tidy, FSH so on) only set me back £1100 and that had 130k on it.

Similar car, same age and spec, much less miles.....Also has the rare arcadia wheels.

Is there really that much difference in insurance between a 2.0T and a T4? Only 2 insurance groups between them

I would agree it is over the odds. My 2001 1.8 sport (FSH etc) with 30k more on the clock cost me £1845 less than that one.

Its a car dealership, you will pay well over the odds. I would say that 2.0T is a about £1400 over priced.

Ahh yeah - Stay away from the T4 then! It's a hairy car lol

Honestly I wouldn't look at any car with a turbo at 19, even the 2.0T will sting with the insurance.

what's the cheapest quote you've had on a 2.0T?
