i have too be honest my friend, 18yr old with a 2.1 zvh turbo is bordering on silly.. i'd get some driving experience first, i'd of said the insurance would be a killer as well. as for the car, it may be alright.. my granada when i bought it had been in storage for 7 years. all i'd did was got it on a ramp.. cleaned the brakes up an greased everything.. engine flush and gearbox, a service and an mot.. it has been fine ever since
