First Car!

[Shabalabalong]

1.2ltr 8v 54 reg. Paid £1450, haggled down from £1700 due to that dent you can see on the door. It'll cost me about £2000 to insure on Co ops Young Driver Insurance where they install a black box and I can't speed or drive between 11pm-5am.

The joys of being a new driver!

Young driver, how young?

Am I allowed to laugh?

 

[Shabalabalong]

Laugh at how cheap it is for me? Go ahead!

 

[Tai]

Laugh at the car, the cost of insurance and the fact you can't speed or drive past 11pm.

I know My brother managed to insure a mini cooper sport 1.6ltr fully comp for £1,500 5 years ago. Co op even monitor like how well you drive and your premium can rise if you can't drive for ****.

e.g.

You can drive at night... but your premium will go up :k

omfg that is so ridiculous! Cornering too fast?!?! How is my braking??! GTFO

Seriously crazy stuff. Why you with them? lol

 

[Skyline]

Surely you can find someone cheaper/same price without all that bollox?

 

[Shabalabalong]

Without them, the cheapest quote I could get would be around £3000 and thats third party only with like a £1000 excess lol. Just not worth it. The 'plan' is to stay with them for 1 year then move to a normal insurer as it's always the first year that is just killer expensive. If I crash though I may as well just give up on driving for a while though :x

I'm 25 and my insurance is still £1000 a year. I hate cars.

 

[afshangrudar1]

Cant you use an adult to get a policy with you as a named driver? Ive always put my cars on a females name as its cheaper!

 

[lifco]

Not a bad car for your first set of wheels mate

We should setup a car thread

Would love to see some pics or even better videos

I mite kick it off myself i own two, well misses and i have one each

New astra and a freelander

 

[Jicaa]

Get a **** car that gets you from A to B like i have. Well it aint excactly ****, it's just got a small engine as I really aint fussed on speed, 24 and my insurance is about £600 a year, changed this year tho, so it should be lower.

 

[Breezer]

If you buy a classic then your insurance is even cheaper! saves someone else taking then money.

I'm 20 and my bike is £500 a year to insure, I don't get pestered for lifts and I NEVER have to be the "designated driver".

'Sup?

 

[ABurma]

Have they told you how many mile your allowed to do and the fact it will cost you x amount if you go over your allotted miles. Also this is going to be the norm soon, as it's a device that all insurance companies are trying to get enforced. Oh and don't think because your with them, that your premiums will come down. You will find that they actually will go up, as this year premiums went up by a massive 28% and using the safe device doesn't actually show the type of driver you are.

@Jealy - What you riding, my insurance on my bike is only £80FC, I have a 2 stroke TZR 125.

 

[Skyline]

I'm 25 and pay just over £600 a year fully comp for a 2.0 GT Golf. May be even cheaper now as I was 24 when I insured it.
