Geastb 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 hey nickg123 - how did you get insurance on a m3 evo at 22? bet it was extortionate! Link to post Share on other sites
nickg123 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 I was 21 at the time!! It was a 1998 M3 Evo (SMG), 35k miles and i had a Trakker fitted to it which made my insurance £1550.00 with Tesco......I had the M3 6 months but was offered £15k when i'd paid £13k for it so i couldn't turn it down!Sold it and bought the Evo 6 which cost me £1990 through Keith Michaels as Tesco refused to cover it as they'd had a change in their policy and even told me i wouldn't get insurance on the M3 if i tried again now!

nickg123 0 Posted November 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 lol - I don't know why everyone thinks the M3 would be so much - it was the Evo that killed me! (hence selling after 4 months).The M3 was still the best car out of the lot, for pure comfort, style and speed when you wanted it you can't go wrong!I would definitely have another one day, over the Evo 6 i reckon........
