Insurance Companies

I'm 28 and at the moment i'm insured on a Mercedes C200 as the second driver for only £200 per Year fully "comp", with Performance Direct, I used comparethemarket to get the quote the day I passed my test ( 10 months ago ).

Have a look at the insurance group the car you are looking for is in and think about opting for a smaller CC engine and see how this affects your quote(s).

All the cars I have looked at have been between groups 1 and 4, nothing really high.

Its only recently ive started thinking outside the box..

Look into cars that fall into the 'classic' bracket (old minis/land rovers etc), and look into classic car insurance with limited mileage. Some insurers insist on 25+ for classic car but iv heard of some that don't mind, cant think of any off the top of my head though!

Have you not noticed that your post count isn't increasing?, seeing as though the mods are deleting your irrelevant posts...

Stop spamming the forums FFS, you WILL NOT be given free shipping...

Rather than start a new thread. i thought I would just give this a bump.

Come the 28th of this month I will have £1000 which I plan on spending on a car. But as usual with me, I'm not sure what would be my best bet.

My insurance is going to be high either way, but for a first car I dont want to spend a fortune on it, hence the £2000 limit. Once I have bought the car, paying around £250 a month insurance won't be too bad and then once I have some money free, I will be taking my pass plus (at the moment all sapre money is going towards getting the car).

So any recommendations?

Preferably something small and reliable.
Condition. Not a banger but not perfect condition obviously.
Someone that isnt going to cost a bomb to run (although with petrol prices at the moment thats a big ask)

Thanks in advance.

Your location really doesnt help I'm afraid.

Check your postcode against the risk grouping, iirc alot of Manchester is quite high up.

Just checked that and the area I have recently moved to is listed as 'F' (highest risk) and the area I moved from is listed as 'A' (lowest risk)! Luckily I don't have a car at the moment so not much of an issue, but hopefully increased age will help offset the increased location risk when I eventually get a new car!

Anyone got a recommendation on a car please?

Or even a link to one that is worth buying?

Old shape Micra, more or less bulletproof, not exactly cool, but neither is my first car.
