    I'd check what fully comp. is like, I just renewed my insurance at the beginning of the month and found that fully comp. was near £50 cheaper than 3rd Party with the same insurer, excess and legal cover (I took a look just out of curiosity really to see if what a fellow worker said was right).

    Current insurer wont insure me on it online, going to call them to ask

    Comparison sites used gave 3rd party £640, fully comp £800+, the car isn't worth £800 and the excess of £600 makes it even less worth it.

    I did on my current policy, saved myself nearly £150 going fully comp and using comparison sites

    a '98 Primera 2.0l GT For £725 with low mileage

    Quick check on insurance comes back around £640 third party, it's more than the civic... but the car itself is a lot cheaper to start with

    Going to have a look at it this weekend, it needs tax which is a bit of a bummer though
    Oooh a Primera GT, very good choice
    If you look after it the SR20DE will go onforver, same engine as in my 200 (well bar the turbo ) and they easily go 150/200k +, just make sure the oil is changed regularly!

    Re: 2nd hand suggestions

    Primera had gone before i got there, civic too

    The civic was still there though so I could see if I could fit in the thing, which I could, was more than could be said for the primera

    Corolla was a fit too, as was the Accord, but the accord was a little snug, time to keep searching!

    Re: 2nd hand suggestions

    Spotted another Primera GT for £700, 70k on the clock and it's NOT on auto trader but on pistonheads and gumtree, going to see if I can have a look later this week if possible (hopefully thursday)

    Put a deposit on a '97 (r plate) Honda Accord 1.8i today, nothing fancy but solid condition, 12 months MOT (getting it done monday before I collect it), bit of tax left and a good running engine 85k on the clock but nice condition car, just needs a bit of a clean on the inside.
