really need at least 1years ncd before you consider changing prefflably 2 years, to help on insurance, also we need a budget, we can recommend you loads but you wont be able to afford 90% of them.

Got a budget?

Kroegen · 29 Nov 2006 at 20:09

Oh yeah, my budget would be £2000. Give of take a hundred.

Glaucus · 29 Nov 2006 at 20:10

Kroegen · 29 Nov 2006 at 20:13

You're not gonna get much more than you have now with that much.. I pay £150 a month on my 1600 Lanos...

Kroegen · 29 Nov 2006 at 20:15

currently im paying £60 a month on the punto. I did a quote for a 306xsi and its £800. All of this is under my own name, as the main driver. So i can insure something group 10 or lower.

Ouch! I pay 60 quid a month for my 3.5 litre fuel injected V8 Triumph

I do now have two years NCB though, it's amazing how much difference it makes

Definitely worth hanging onto that car though, getting to grips with the whole thing, racking up as many miles as feasible, enjoying it - because you can enjoy any car in the right situation, or with the right attitude, and wait till you've got some NCB to rack up a nice purchase

agreed, w8 for at least 1 years ncb, you'l probaly find you mite need the money you have for uni or something else more important, you have a car that i assume runs perfectly fine, so if you want sumthign with more power, just boot the living hell out of it, you'l be suprised

either that or run it into *** ground b4 buying yourself a new ride.
