wat he is saying is of ur fully comp on 1 policy u can drive as a 3rd party driver on another.

i kno some insurance companies do this, but not all + there is usualy an age limmit like 25+ on it 2, so id be weary.

But im sure, the other car you are dricing needs to be insured by the owners aswell?

Sir, this is on-topic, were tryna find cheap insurance

Fraud!. dont believe for a 2nd u own a mini, either that, or have no idea of the culture behind it, so i have an interest which is the same as urs (or so u say) and u persist on being blunt and childish in ur replies, either way its not like im going to flame u for owning a mini, but never mind.

if u wasnt aware, MITP is on the 18/19th of this month @ santa pod if u feel like checking out a show.

[Colonel]

spend 2k-4k and get the following and reasonable on insurance:

pug106/205/206/309
citroen saxo
volkswagen polo/golf/
ford fiesta/escort
vauxhall corsa/astra

make sure too when ur buying one they havent been toy'ed with you dont want the following:

air filter/induction kit
more than 10/20mm lowering if any
any one says recent new head gasket clik back to list of items tbh

nothing over 80-100k milage unless it japanese or german

[DeathWish]

i had a 106 quiksilver passed my test n 2 weeks later i wrote it off oh well fink im gettin a punto next

 

[Floyd]

nothing wrong with anything over 100k, just make sure its got FSH, my polo is close to 100k now and still runs like brand new, my m8 has a 205 with 150k+ on it n still runs sweet.

Vauxhall for cheap insurance, the way forward there insurance grps are lower for the same engine size in other manufacturers, 1.6 club astra insurance grp 4 or a 16 16v sxi insurance grp 5 but i loves astras for some reason :s

 

[Pornstar]

Just like everyone else had said, go for something old and cheap.....

My first car was a b reg nissan micra, and the reason being was becouse it was a jap car and it was going to have to handle alot of abuse ( witch it did , that cost me £400 7 years ago and about £800 on insurance...

Anyway my next car a year after the micra was a 1.4 mk2 astra, that did me proud for another year, then for some reason unknown to me i then bought another micra lol..... anyway....

7 years down the line, i now own my own garage, with traders insurance policy, and these days i role in a choice of...

02 plate Mk4 astra sri turbo running 260 ish bhp
M reg Nissan 200sx (modded) running 310 bhp
N reg Nissan 200sx ( heavily modded for track use ) running 420-480 bhp depending on boost
K reg nissan skyline gtst ( standerd ) 215 bhp
and just sold my Mk3 astra 2.5 V6 that i built from a bareshell ( was 211bhp )

And my insurance.... just short of 5k fully comp ( includes insurance for premises and storage for up to 50k worth of viechles, fires etc etc...

Yeah im luckyer then most, but i started off from the bottom just like everyone else did.

 

[AGuyWithAThing]

lol.... first off that smart car is a bucket and looks like it has no engine, i would advise getting a first car something like peugeot 206/306, vauxhall astra, ford fiesta, vw golf, skoda fabia or rover (they cheap to buy just expensive to fix)

get around a 1.2 - 1.6 depending on how much you want to blow on insurance, insurance companies can be touchy about insuring a new driver with a 1.8/2.0+ ltr car and will give you a massive bill for it

and what u talking about write off your first car.... you only write off a car if u drive like a total tool

I passed my test 3 years ago and still have the same car i haven't so much as had a bump let alone written the car off

I have a skoda fabia 2003 model 1.4, does 0-60 in about 3 hours... lol i have topped it out at 128mph (coming back from a job in leeds was tired n wanted to get home...)

Crashes happen, wether it be you driving like a tool, or someone else.

Therefore your statement is incorrect.

I've always been blunt, Floyd. It's why I'm still floating in the pool of life

Anyways, Xander, you get my feedback on MSN I'll say no more here.

I went on my dad's insurance straight off, cut the ins by half and named drivers can run up no-claims discounts these days aswell.

Depends if your mum or dad is willing to risk their no-claims on you

 

[Colonel]

thers a few strings attached on ur parents insurance, firstly u build up ur no claims but to get the no claims u must insure on ur own with the same company, the other one is that ur likely on ur parents insurance to have a faster car therefor increasing the likeliness of a crash plus then ur parents are risking there no claims too. but im likely to get insured on my parents insurance due to wanting a fast nice car str8 away.

You speak the truth. I started driving a bit later than 17/18 though so my dad was willing to put me on his. Not crashed yet, will no doubt happen soon now I've said that.

 

[Colonel]

im thinking if i get caddy i can get insured for bout 600 ish but also thinking bout getting a 145 alfa romeo with a 1.7 engine which i cld also get insured on my mum or dads name for round 700 quid mark.
