rite am 17 for my 18th been told i can have a 5-6k car
i have to sell my car and the rest my parents pay

i am looking at sporty cars anything really that has good bhp or that be modded to a good bhp

so any help would be great

could bump it up a littel with the price with my own cash

cheers
conor

 

is insurance going to be an issue?

 

i wouldnt buy owt to nice mate if your joining the army as u wont use it that much.

 

dont want to sound big headed but will go down because of 1 years no claims and 18 but at the most about 1-2k at the real most over monthly payments

 

thats why i want a nice car that is reliable sporty because it wont be used much thats why i can strech with the money

i jsut really like my cars some people would say whats the point if it isent going to be driven but i want to hah.

got my pre adsc on monday

 

So 5-6k including insurance?

 

what you joining?

 

even with the 1 year no claims i would expect the insurance costs to be crazy for anything sporty

when my neighbour's lad was chatting to me about what it costs him to insure a 1.3 fiesta i felt so glad i am a old git with 14 years ncb

but the amount of cash you have buys all manner of cars best to decide what sot of car you want so we can narrow down the search

 

sorry havent made this clear 5-6k for car
1-2k at most for insurance

andy- paras mate

for my 1.6 megane its Ł1300

i know thats alot haha

 

he wants to join the para`s.

 

cheers

 

<<<<<<<<<<< for you connor when i was 17

 

How about a clio 182 sport dont know what insurance group they are, but there safe reliable cars.

 

ill say the same there a nice quick newish car imo.


connor let me know how you get on at pre ADSC buddy.

 

yeah what thye like speedy wise haha

and cheers mate dont wana sound gay but how u make the pic bigger tryin to see what reg you are in and you still in now and yeah mate i will do
cheers
for the support

 

Golf GTI TDI Anni...you'd get one for that budget if your gonna sell your Current car too

 

04 octavia vrs........uber low mileage ones go for about Ł5500, lots of car for the cash and not too bad to insure

 

you got pics of the car mate ? like the one your are tlking about want to know what mark your talking about?
my bein a little dim tonite haha

and octavia
pic of that aswell if you dont mind are they that quick lol

 

civic type r

 

I'd go for a Golf GTI or even a GT TDI 150 mk4...

Quick and tuneable with a remap!

 

i was 2 para.... in that pic when u first join you have to have the green backing until u pass p-company and pass out.

 

personally i'd stay away from hot hatches, insurance would kill you on them,

something like an octavia vrs, volvo t5, etc, turbo'd family saloons tend to be cheaper (Ł/bhp) on the insurance and have a fair bit of potential tuning wise.

 

Lovely 18 inch BBS Alloys, Awesome Recaro Interior etc etc & Its a Diesel....Proper shift when they have been remapped (200bhp!)

fuck me thats lovely :P
why is diesel better then petrol?
ands why do they respond so well to a remap

^^^ Big, big yawn!

 

what u mean by that?

 

Those Golfs boooooooooooooooring! Even with that kind of power, they have such a joyless chassis! A 130bhp 2.0 Focus would be a LOT more entertaining that that with 200bhp.....

Looooooads of cars to choose from that are more entertaining that that!

Would get a decent E46 330i saloon for that, or an ST220

 

Civic type r
Clio 172/82

What about a c2 vts there nice cars to potter about in and only insurance group 8

scooby turbo and add the rest to insurance

audi s3

 

PMSL! you say Golf's are shit.....Anyone who knows about Cars would tell you how good those Diesel Golf's really are...

you tell him to get a Mondeo? He's 18 not 50 LOL!!!!

 

What's good about them?

They're well screwed together and go well in a straight line.

However, they're about as interesting and fun as a stick of celery.

an ST220 is far more entertaining to drive. So would be a Focus with much less power, a Clio 172/182, blah blah blah.

Diesel Golfs are old gits cars...

 

having had a civic type r i cant recommend them enough.mines never missed a beat in three years.not too bad performance and i.m.o looks good.im thinking of buying another as i hate my runabout punto.fiesta st was something else i was gona buy to kick about in.

 

go for a clio 182 really fast car

 

1 yrs NCB is barely going to make a dent in your premiums mate. And I'd imagine you'd struggle to get just about any of the car's mentioned here for under 2K per year, especially as you're paying it monthy.

 

id say the clio 182 aswell, may even have some change left over for some mods too if you look and find a bargain
