7th time lucky

feels amazing - it was all worth it.

Looking to spend 1 - 3 k? on a car, hopefully economical as it will do the daily commute. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also where to buy from and how to finance it too (loan?) etc too.

Any advice much appreciated - thanks guys.

I wasn't able to practice in anyone elses car, and funded every penny myself, which meant I couldnt afford lessons every week, probably why it took much longer to get everything spot on!

gonna do pass plus before i get a car, the insurance quotes are frightening

update: right, what I think I'm going to do is to take advantage of a new car purchase on finance that offers a year's free insurance?

does that mean after that free year I could potentially have 1 years no claims as well as pass plus under my belt?

people advise against a "new" first car, but as far as I can see it's the cheapest option?

opinions?

thanks

thanks

i'm 19, according to the vauxhall site, I am eligable, it says 19 - 80 years old, I mean it would be a bottom level corsa, but to be honest its still a car! As long as it can be in black and will last a few years im fine
