lots of other factors come into it but you'll be qupted about £3000 by anyone willing to insure you

try a 1.0 corsa b and a ford ka for some cheap quotes

Get insurance in your own name.....

If you dont you'll never get a ncb....

My first car was an 1.4 xr3i rep... cost me £1000 to insure in my own name....

My mate had an rsturbo in his dads name, and paid £600

Now hes driving a 1.6 astra because he cant afford to insure anything bigger as he has no ncb.... And I have the m3.....
