Passed my test this afternoon with 8 minors. Not superb but it's a pass and I'm feeling pretty good :)

Next step is a car for around the £700 mark. Cheap to insure. What do you recommend? What should I steer clear of?

I won't be buying a micra, ka or mini.
 
Is it a bad idea to opt for a Rover? Some crackers on Autotrader with ~'99 plates for around my price mark. Are parts a serious issue?

I appreciate I could get a larger and older diesel but I don't want anything that's going to kill the insurance. However I will be going as 3rd pf&t under my father's name.
 
Is Autotrader generally overpriced?

I know a mechanic/car boffin and shall be having a chat with him come the weekend.

3rd pf&t insurance surely wont be more than £300 if I do it through my father?
 
If I were to go it alone on the insurance it's going to cost more than the car, which doesn't make sense.

Where's the potential uproar? Forgive me I am quite ignorant here, where's the harm on me being a named driver under my father? I'm insured, you're insured, where's there the problem?
 
OK cheers I'll make sure they're in the know that I'll be the main driver.

Gonna have a ring round this arvo for a few that have caught my eye :)
