huds78 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Car insurance is a wierd one it seems nowadays as a lad at work (early 20`s) is finding its cheaper to insure a 2L Astra gte (circa 90`s) than a 2 yr old 1.2 corsa !! go figure ? He even had quotes for a mk2 Mr2 cheaper than a similar priced micra. I`d find prospective cars and get on the comparison sites for quotes and see what results you get tbh.

shaun4860 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 1.0 Corsa Don't automatically think that all 1.0 are the same, some are silly insurance Also the 1.3 Ka for some reason is cheap, but check on which Bhp ( they do 2 different ones in the 1.3), also the newer Ka is cheaper to tax, older ones are quite dear Went through all this with my niece, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteri Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Honestly - I'd look more for something like a Nissan Micra, you want something that that 'Max Power' lad has no interest in. Also - amazingly, when we insured my daughter's first car - it made a massive difference adding myself and my wife as named drivers to the policy, literally took 100s off the price. (£600 I seem to remember). Then look for a bonus accelerator policy, which will run for 10 months - but at the end of it give a years no claims, we ended up paying £1000 for a Nissan Micra over 10 months, then next time she had 30% ncb, we've done this for two 'years' (20 months) and now it's much, much cheaper.

shaun4860 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 We found the 1.0 micra wasnt cheap for my niece (17 years old) Even after adding 3 "older" drivers to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 DO NOT, Get Her a Vauxhall of any discription, Because of high cost of spares for them, it sends the insurance through the Roof. Be Warned:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very nice though. Quite common really and easily get a good one in op's budget. Cost the misses £700 to insure her first year, free tax and the parts are cheap and plentiful. Plus very easy to fix and 40mpg average easily. Great first car IMO and not a car to be bombing about in Edited December 16, 2013 by ace_of_hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypaint Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I would speak to insurance company first and they will guide you to what's cheapest to insure. Generally its a fiat punto vauxhall corsa or Renault clio. Of the three the clio is the cheapest best spec and safest. A 1.2 dynamique is a good bet.

glb8686 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 But the repairs will cost you when it falls to bits. Micra is best bet I reckon. Reasonable parts and reliable. Plus not very 'not racer' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
