    punto cabriolet insurance

    hey everyone. Am a 17 year old wanting to buy a punto cabriolet 90ELX. and one has come up for sale close by. The only problem being it has a 1.6 litre engine, so how much do you think insurance will be or does anyone know what insurance group it is?

    thanks

    James

    when new i think the 90cab was ranked in group 7, though haven't classifications shifted a little lately?

    not just the engine contributes to the risk - its a fabric roof, older car (less secure - did it even have immob as standard?) and, of course, your age counts against.

    i know what waiting can be like, but it may be best to wait a little while - practice in something else for a couple of years?

    i'd be amazed if you get a quote less than £2500 - if at all...

    Seatbelt

    I've just been quoted £350 for a seatbelt on my punto cabriolet 90 ELX by Fiat. Can anyone tell me where I can get one a lot cheaper?
