Im 18 and doing my test in a couple of weeks after having some money come through, best quotes ive found are around £1400 on a 1.3 mk3 escort. Mk1/2 fiesta are around £200 cheaper, but that £1400 if paid monthly comes in at something like £1750, but i think the best thing to do now is that insure the box site, car has to be newer that 1998 i think, my mate just passed was around £1000 on an aygo though.. I do think thinking outside the box helps though, not something that youngsters would have crashed over and over will help no end.
