anyone got any recommendations?

looking to buy car soon. still havent passed the 25yr mark. so my insurance premium is high.

someone mentioned insurance would be lower if the car has low emissions.

im just looking for a little runner . nothing over 1.4 litre and very cheap to insure. between 30-50 month

Insurance isnt all set out in stone, it verys so much. Do your own quotes online with cars you want.

Tax is based on emissions though.

1.4 Tdi Ibiza? My mates got one and its low insurance and tax plus not too slow. Should be well cheap for a decent example from say 04 or so.

My MR2 Turbo at the age of 23 for example was about £50 a month to insure £500 for 10 months.

if i travel up north. say scotland are cars cheaper there in auctions.

i feel car prices in london are highly inflated.

Psssh... emissions? My Prelude's insured for a fraction over your budget. You're only young once, get something fun

Someone was talking BS, although there may be some correlation with small cars there will be enough exceptions in the general motoring world to rule out causality.

Insurance companies don't really care if your car is super eco green, they just care how much money you are likely to cost them
