10 k plus insurance

[perfectionist]

Will have to find something he can insure, even if it's just for the first year.

Just the Starlet SR is a cool first car imo.


Sky, can you help?

If you want cheap avoid anything jap as a first car as it aint gonna happen unless you have some serious wedge.

As Kev said ford KA are mega cheap, ford fiesta's, vauxhall corsa's and polo's are generally a little more but still affordable.

I just didnt drive for my first year, Just too expensive and also i refused to pay upwards of 5k to drive a sodding polo or something

Iirc the cheapest thing i ever found was an Austin mini 1.0 city E Just the price of the car that was the problem You cant really win

[perfectionist]

Yep, told him to try ford Ka or just find a car he can insure and we'll buy it

[louckie]

its S*!t welcome to being young, insurance groups don't always mean cheap insurance, there's loop holes like old mercs and estate vehicles are cheaper just strange crap, its more me to insure a robin reliant than it is something like a 190E

[fiddy]

Reliant Robin are cheap as. As you can actually drive them on your cbt.

[perfectionist]

KA coming in at 5k.

Probably cheaper to get banned for no insurance and take your test again
(not that we'd do this)

Sounds about right, although i think even i got cheaper qoutes than that Was about £3000 for me. If you know someone in a posh area try using their postcode to see if that makes a difference. It didnt here Hull because well....there arent any posh area's But if i put it in hessle it was about £400 cheaper

Would definitely be cheaper that way not recomended mind you Have you tried putting him as a named driver ? Some companies still allow it some won't. Try old Volvo's i know it aint exactly cool and his mates will think wtf you got your mums car for but if it gets you on the road who cares, besides he'll have a turbo......LOW boost but turbo is turbo

true

No you can't..

[jonny f]

You putting yourself down on the policy as a named driver.

I have my mum and dad on my policy. Dropped it considerably.

[perfectionist]

Yep tried everything

Just on my name £395 is cheapest i got fully comp.
As soon as i add my nephew it's around 10k

[rallyeluke]

My insurance on my tuned 1616 is £190 a year fully comp at renewal, I cannot believe how much they charge youngsters these days ;(

[joe f]

Tbh I think they just spew out these ridiculous costs so that young drivers will resort to the 'black box'
Seems the only way to get a reasonable quote these days.

[perfectionist]

It's around 4k with the black box thingy.
