my first legal car is a 1.6 m plate mondeo insurance with 0 no claims bonus was £720(i'm still using it now 18 months on and the insurance is now £400), . Admitedly it's a heap but hey, it gets me from A to B and it's still working - i've tried killing it and it just won't bloody die !!

a guy at my sixth form college years ago won some money on the lottery. he was going to buy a ferrari 360 but NO ONE would insure him. he ended up hiring a stretch limo to come in a few times and didn't bother with a car till he left.

I also read in the news a few years ago that a millionaire bloke bought his son a ferrari 360 as his first car but he couldn't get insurance for his son on it. Anywhere.

So money cant buy you everything until your old enough !!!

My first car was a brand new Corsa back in 2000, got it on the never never, but the 2yrs free insurance was a god send, the vauxhall insurance scheme also doubled your 2yrs no claims bonus once the free insurance period was up if you re-insured with them, so after 2yrs, I had '4yrs' no claims bonus, and bought myself a Punto GT which was like a rocket in comparison to a 1.2 Corsa

it's simple really, small engine, 1.0 or very close and not more than ten years old, do pass plus, insurance companies love it, you'll make more than your money back in the first year and more in the second
don't be tempted to get an old car, insurance companies don't like it, modern and safer is much cheaper to insure.

talk to your parents n see if one of them will open up a policy for you on their insurance
