15 Year Old Newbie

yep bad times how much do u think?

You've got a while yet.... just save up, keep working on getting it sorted and you'll find a way of getting it on the road if you want to

Insurance is a killer and not gonna be cheap for a 4x4, but get a few quotes first to see what it comes out like nearer the time, I remember I paid 1600 for a ****e 1.0l vw polo when I was 17, then about 1k when I was 19 for a 1.8tdci ford focus, bloody rip off

True - talk about organised crime! After immigrating to UK I oaid £897 for an N reg Rover 214 in 2004 and I was 38

excactly im aiming for a old classic like a mk 3 Cortina or escort Rs because I had a look on insurance and it said 2 and a half grand which is reasonable but I would like an old classic haha love capris but hard to find a non rotten one

2.5k for insurance ?? That's quite a lot! And remember some policy's will go up once you trade in your provisional licence for a full when you pass your test.

exactly insurance is a killer its like they do a young drivers insurance but that doesn't help so im screwed unless im rich or full time working but like I say im going into A levels ill have to try get a summer job eventually

Is that with everything declared?

I've found bell/admiral to be good in the past for a young driver.
Last time I was with them they fitted a box, I still drove like I normally do and never logged on to see my results but it brought the premium down loads just by having it fitted.

this says its 80 quid cheaper withbox so no ta but im hopefully doing a aprenticship earning 12k min so 200 pound a month a put away 10-20 quid a week thanks tho
