-
1.6 diesel/1.4 is probably the only ones he could get insured on I'd guess. :undecided:
-
been trying on 1.0 polos and still coming back high its doing my head my lad has just passed today and this is all i am getting all day an night
-
No matter what car you try it's gunna come back high, that's just how it is these days for us young kids, just gotta accept it as there's no way round it really

Insurance nowadays is crazy. A friend of mine who is 17 is paying £200 a month on a 1.4 Mk3 golf :shocked:
-
its mad how can they expect young 17 year who is at college to pay 200 quid a month well i no i will be paying it but i aint paying 200 quid a month what are your thoughts on these boxes they put in your cars
-
To be honest, when starting out like your son, anything for a lower premium is worth trying.
-
id hate one of those boxes, another way of keeping tabs on you
-
i think this is my way forward then as it only way i am going to be paying for it
i no what you sayin murrymint but it may be away of keeping an eye on him if you see what i am saying mate

When my daughter wanted to drive, the cheapest car to insure and be safe enough in was a 1.0ltr Yaris. Anything VAG came back at silly money.
-
Tis true, google the cheapest motors to insure for young uns' and its Corsa/fiesta/Yaris territory. Polo is even more as its 'more expensive to repair' unfortunately. :sad:
-
I know its french but the peugeot 206 is pretty reasonable to insure, i insured my daughter on the missus 206 with Kwik-fit for just under £1400.
-
just had a result direct line with my wife on the insurance 1litre polo 786 quid

That is a good effort. Tiny cars FTW with for young drivers.

admiral multicar.
put my whole family (4 cars) onto the same policy and everyone saved money compared to their current policys. Mine is only (:lipsrsealed: ) £900 on a 1.9 GT TDi
-
try paying just shy of 3ton a month like i was :shocked: :angry:

2k isnt bad for a first years insurance for a 17 year old.
the cheapest i got when i was 17 was £3000 on a 1.3 toyota starlet (actually cheaper then all the 1.0L corsas' polos' etc)
sadly you just have to take it to the chin the first year, my premium literately halved on my second year (1550)
The "black boxes" are bad things as the company have the right to constantly change your monthly premium depending on everything from mileage to acceleration, speed g forces in corners pretty much everything so all he has to do to sky rocket his insurance is go over 70 once and everyone knows as much as he says he wont....he will. sadly we all know driving as 80 isnt dangerous if you have the ability and confidence to do so as all modern cars are designed to travel and stop from quicker then that compared to cars when the 70mph speed limit was introduced.
so personally i would stay away from the black boxes and one fast corner or speed not to their liking and the got you by the b@lls :undecided:

You got no chance, im 19 - passed in December last year (so I was 18, late bloomer haha) and the insurance on my 1.4 ABD MK3 was £3500 - and that was the lowest of the low under third party, not even fully comprehensive, how your getting quotes for £2000 is pretty amazing to be honest. I stuck my mum on the insurance which brought it down considerably but it really is a case of building some no claims.
My insurance quote for the same car in December upon renewal is £1100 fully comprehensive - hence why I have hopefully just bought a MK3 8V GTI in Gun Metal which is £2000 fully comprehensive or £1400 third party.
Goof luck searching mate!

insurance wanted nearly 800 quid for a 1.0l polo square back last night for my wife thats just past her test and she's 28! so it dunt get any better the older you are when you learn to drive.
also a young lad (20) at work wanted to by one of my golf mk3 gti's his insurance company, bear in mind he's got 3 points wanted just shy of 4 grand that sale quickly fell threw
-
Im 17, and a girl, but i just insured my 1.4 litre petrol mk3 Golf at £800 for a provisional and then it goes up to £1000 when i pass, i have two parents as named drivers, and less than 5k a year. This was without any alarms fitted and just kept on a drive over night, this was also fully comp and social,domestic and commuting, i went on compare the market and Admiral and Diamond are by far the cheapest!!
Keep looking, dont just settle on one, my first quote was £3500!
-
I've been getting quoted 900 quid fully comp for a 1.6se 2002 and 990 for a 2.3l 2000 v5 :shocked: no sure if some things wrong but thats what i've been getting with my dad as a second driver and my voluntary excess being 500 quid, receptionist at my dads nightclub part-time...

get your lad one of the toyota aygo/107/c1, group 1 insurance, £20 tax for the year, economical! fair enough he will still get stung on the insurance but at his age he has no option but to stomach it
