It absolutely does make a difference - he'll be a year older with a years more experience. NCB is *not* everything.

Not actually true. When I first got my car I decided to see if just the duration of licence being held made a difference and there was. I have the feeling it wasn't a very significant difference, but a difference none the less.
Nobody is attacking you, they want to help you, but if you won't give them the details they need they can't do it!
Enjoy the Corsa/BMW.
Ok, just for you, I did a quote, assuming he is 24, drives up to 7k per year, added two parents with clean licenses, parked on street, put it in a local C rated postcode (worse), occupation student, held license for one month.
etc. etc. etc.
£1231.11
Something is up if he gets £3000+ off the same basic quote.

If we are going to do a quote for you, for an ACCURATE result, we need your post code.
He obviously aint mentioned the 3 bans for drunk driving and a vehicle manslaughter i dunno what else to say
I've given you that information. How is it of help to you now? What can you tell me that will instantly take a grand off my quotes from those?
fine, CW5 7BB. if you can find something I haven't then great, but I highly doubt it. I now expect this thread to plummet into Motors oblivion when you realise you can't lower the quote. You can even include a parent with a 7 year NCB on there, like I have.

Question to everyone else: Why are we bothering here?
I just posted an example of a quote using every detail you've given in this thread.
It's under £1500, just like I predicted earlier.
You're doing something wrong if that comes out at over £3000 for you.
Fair do's, was making no difference to me when I was first starting off driving, only changed when I started adding NCB.

Indeed ... and waves over at DM
No im not kidding, you know when you get one that wants to buy a bad car on finance, or pay 11k to insure something at 17, you have to wave and smile at the end, i know, cos i got kids, you wave and smile and tell them well done if they wont listen, its a fact.
Kenai have you picked him a winner? Hmmmm ?
I just did a quote with Elephant, using all the details he provided us, on a 2007 Corsa SXI CDTI 1.7, applied the tips I put in my earlier post and that was the result. No lies, no jiggery pokery, no mistruths.
The only different element is I did it in a slightly worse C rated postcode, not a B rated that he's in.
I think you're doing it wrong!
TPFT on your Corsa:
Or fully comp?
That's just a random Compare The Market quote using your basic details.
