now ive passed my test, i need to start thinkin bout what i should get as my first car coz i cant drive my mums forever!! lol!

i havent got an idea of wat car to get, so i need ya help!
cheers saz xx

Budget?

bout £2000 - £3000

Mmmm insurance thinking here i'd go for somethin around the 1.4 engine wise.

Is there any preferences too how old it would have to be cos you can get any car for that price but some would be really old.

My 1st thinkin for you is something like a 306.

i dont want anything older than bout a P reg i think!
i dont really like 306's broom! i like em but cant c myself drivin one!!

nothing older than a p reg, yet no offence you are prob going to bang it into stuff and knacker it, why not buy a shed and run it into the ground

Where you get 3k from you always skint

yeah i know im always skint chris! mum is guna buy my first car when i get a job and ive just gotta tax it and run it!!

buy mine lol

saxo VTR???

Buy a pug 106/saxo/ax, keep it for a few years and save up for something with a bit more power to it.

or buy a bus pass

buy a little 1.1, cheap on insurance and idea for a first car, there's plenty of 106's, saxo's etc for sale. they're nothing special but they'll do everything you'd need your first car to do

No offence.

Need a job to buy a car

Start off with a 1.1 nova or fiesta of similar, maybe a ford ka, these are going for approx £1500 nowadays and think they are all newer than p reg. This will offer you cheep insurance too which is the first thing you need to consider. Build up your no claims for a few years then move on to something bigger and better.
It does take time and you can just jump into a rapid car straight away (look at me, im still paying £1300 insurance with 5 years no claims and im an old get)

Im sure people will give you the same insurance advice as i have.
Good luck car hunting lol

and as for insurance, ive got a 1.1, and everyone gave me a quote of approx. £1600, but I tried sainsuburys and it cut £700 off and my quote is £900 at sainsburys, so for cheap insurance, go to sainsburys, try an online quote and see

Or tesco, thats who im with. Will be swapping to Liverpool Victoria as soon as im 25 later this year though, it will near enough halve and ill be able to sort both cars out with them

i tried tesco but they were still £700 more expensive for me

yeah its vtr so probably high insurance for new driver

Weren't you thinkin of a seat arosa? I can deffo see you in one.

yea im still thinkin of a seat arosa jimbo, just lookin round at the moment!
yea i know i need a job laura, if u read the topic it actually says it hun!
ideas at the mo r seat arosa, 106, saxo or a fiesta

no dont get a 106 , i dont think you will *suit it , maybe a saxo hmmm.... but keep in mind with tesco insurance they have a young drivers excess which is expensive if you have a bump !

thats why there insurance is quite cheap. , im not sure what a seat arosa looks like but other than that i say a saxo ! definatley not a 106 though!!

106quicksilver or ford ka wud be an ideal first car for ya hun.The escort 6( i know im bein biased) is a very very cheap car now-a-days and they come loaded with all todays mod-cons.ABS,power steerin,central lockin,air con,Some even have traction control.Keep us in the know with how u get on

yea u r biased scoop! lol! onoly messin! yea i like the 106 quicksilver but its a 1.4 and the insurance wil b a bit high wont it??

no not exactly saz , why dont you just go on tesco , (on the internet) an just get a quote , i dont think it will be expensive specially because of the "young drivers excess" , kats is 900 summit an hers is 1.2 so i doubt an extra .2 will be a big difference

yea think am gonna go wiv tesco when i do get a car, isnt kat 18 tho?? wil b cheaper if she is but im only 17

yeah shes 18 , not sure saz , only one way to find out though lol , you want to try and avoid goin as a named driver and your mum bein the main one if you get me , AS you wont get your no claims bonus which you want to do asap

I think it will be about £1500 on your own fully comp on a 106 quicksilver.

Buy a 1.0 ax/saxo/106 as your first car and build up your no claims, thats what i did and at 21, i could go out and get insured on a Group 20 Scooby for just under £1k

yea i know, i prob wont get no claims tho coz i'll prob crash within my first yr! lol! im on mums at mo and payin an extra £600 for me on a 1.6

once i have found a car that i like, i will ring insurance compaines and find the best one!!

Who was that with AX

Churchill, i will see if i can find the screenshot.

Can't find the screenshot, only found the one from last year where i got quoted £2k on a escort cossie at 20 years old with 3 years NCB.

Unfortunatly they won't quote me online anymore for the scooby

Hiya

106 - and if you dont mind driving a diesel, then they are an excellent choice being economical and an extremely robust (in 1.5 litre form)as well as simple to work on. Insurance is also very reasonable in my experience on them too.

Failing that, the Ford Ka is also an excellent choice being reasonably economical, nippy and good fun to drive

Phil

They wont quote you because your under 25 mate

I rang up, i can get insured on a scooby for £1279 and a cossie for £1305 providing they have tracking devices installed.

wat do ya think the insurance would b like for me on a corsa b gsi?? been lookin at a nice one today!
