what is the best car to buy as want to try and keep the insurance down as much as possible,would like to pay no more than a grand for his insurance,wny help would be good cheers

 

youll struggle to get anything less than a grand. my apprentice was Ł1400 for a 1.0 corsa at 18.

 

vw polo 1 liter are cheap mate my friend was paying 900 quid 3rd party and he was 17
good luck with it mate they have no heart when it comes to young drivers best thing to do it just get the 1st year out the way

 

some citroen c1 and c2 with 1 litre engines are group 1 insurance. or 800cc daewoo's etc.

 

ford ka

 

my 1st car when i was 17 was a 1.2 corsa sxi i paid 900 third party fire and theft through quinn and most of my mates are the same id try them on whatever car you get hope this helps

 

Quinn were by far the cheapest for my first 2 years, but then Ł500 more expensive after that, i used premiumchoice to find me the cheapest now, which were ensign.

 

ka imo

 

950cc mk1/2 fiesta on classic insurance then bang a 2L zetec in lol
ka imo

 

peogueot 107 sliding door thing,gay as fuck but cheap roadtax too i think,and that little toyato thing.

 

my son has bought a mk1 1.1 fiesta, he paid Ł900 for it and its absolutly mint. the insurance is notified about loweing springs, dampers, wheels and uprated brakes and third party Ł1040 a year. and it does about 45mpg :P

 

Majority of classic policies are for over 25's only.

 

the young lads at work have corsa 1.2 and pay 1200 there with h.i.c insurance worth a try

 

maybe get him to do his ''pass plus'' i did it wen i 1st started drivin and it cut my insurence from 1200 to 600 ..well worth it i think!

 

The tragic thing with young men on insurance is the reason the premions are so high is tragicly statistics show they are more likely to crash its about 40% higher and the reasons the premioms are so high is to scare people off as they dont want to insure you as your are not seen as a profitable risk

your best bet is to get a quote with as lower milleage as possible with out being to cheeky

stick to a car that is common enogth for parts but not so common is a stereo typical car such as a fiesta or nova as these will cost you more to insurer

the only thing i can say is go for an old cheep car that you could afford to lose the amount its worth a couple of hundred quid say

only get third party cover

drive it around for a year and then start to look at a better car to replace it once you have a years no claims

and even though only tpft cover if you were to have a non fault accident you can always claim via a credit hire company or solicitor who willclaim your costs and losses back from the at fault drivers insurance company

 

as a new driver 2 years ago i used Quinn direct, a 1.8 diesel 205 cost me 400 as a learner, then when i passed and bought a MK5 escort 1.4 they charged me just over 700 quid, but i wont use them any more they seem to only specialise in new and young drivers
