Thinking about holding off until december for my new motor. saving a bit more. I really want an elise and the 99/00 models are around 10k so I could afford. They wouldent loose money and they are great. I have been addicted since I drove one last year. Im 21 in december with 4 years NCB (hopefully) any chance? or should I stop kidding myslef and get something new now thats a bit better on insurance.

NO SWEARING hell! I'll have a go, I really want one, and running costs fuel etc... arent too bad, best mate is a very good mechanic own garage so not a problem. Insurance is the only issue, I'll do a quote....

How the hell do you know what he can afford and what he cant. I run a CTR @ 21 with no problem, souds like jealousy to me.

An elise at 21 with 4 years NCB is easily do-able. Best of luck to you mate

thanks very much for the support mate, was expecting a few come back when your 30 comments. I aint rich, but have a £100 a month living arrangement and a focus thats worth about 6grand. my commute is 5 miles and dont care about comfort. I have had bikes in the past, and want a nice weekend car, cant think of a better one! The insurance is going to be the only thing that trips me up.

The insurance is the only worry you should have. They're not hugely practical, but at 21 do you really want a practical car?

nope, practical is not what I'm after in the slightest. Its an excuse for someone else to do the things you would need a boot/5 seats!

guess whos getting an elise in december. Fully comp 12 moths.
Elise 111 2000 - £1551
Elise 111s 2000 - £1620
YAY

I think thats just about do-able. thats first quote with elephant.

thanks, just got to not have a crash this year and I'm home free! Touching all wood around me!!!!

My insurance on focus will run out about 8 days before my birthday though, so dont know what I'll do for a week but other than that looks good.

yep it really is all gooood! I expected at least £2000 arent they gp 19. well happy! get some saving done this year!

thanks for the help mate. Its looking like £1500 which is the most I would want to pay, so it looks like its do-able.
