Wanted 106

[el sid]

Hi all I am after a pug 106 1.1 as a project for my son , would prefer one that needs work . Cheap as chips . Ta

Why a 1.1? Insurance reasons?

Pretty sure a 306 1.9 DTurbo would be a similar price to insure?

Just a though.

Pretty sure a 306 1.9 DTurbo would be a similar price to insure?

And much more fun

[silverzx]

Oh, and it'll run on veg.

[el sid]

He's only just 17 and want a petrol one but depends on the price !

[silverzx]

He'll thank you forever if you get him a nice DTub!

Especially when he realises with the touch of a few spanners he'll be able to "beat" all his friends Saxo's, Corsa's, Punto's etc.

Price wise £300 is about what a 1.9 DTub will go for needing work for MOT.

With 12 months ticket anywhere from £500~£1200.

If I got him a dturbo he would properly take parts off my phase 1 ( 6 ) . Not good

that?

[el sid]

Have seen this one but he wants to mod it himself

[silverzx]

Well with a 1.1 106 he hasn't got much performance options other then an engine swap unfortunately (other then exhaust & induction).

At least with a XUD he'll get the opportunity to learn how an engine actually works rather then simply paying for remaps to enhance the performance.

If he's dead set on a PERV then he might be better off with something a bit bigger like a 306 1.8XS. You may be surprised on insurance, they're only a few groups higher then a 1.1 106.

Have you done any quotes any cars yet?

[el sid]

Yes he's on my traders policy engine swap is what he is going to do

[el sid]

The reason a 1.1 is its is cheap to run for now whilst he does other bits

[silverzx]

Fair enough! '6 engine by any chance?

[el sid]

Maybe ?

[silverzx]

Also mind telling me a bit about the "traders policy". As far as I was aware it is impossible to get on a traders policy that includes social under the age of 21.
