But its reliable and costs me less than a 1.1 saxo to insure! I have me and my other half on. (i have 2 years no claims and she has just passed) And i pay £800 a year.








I pay half of that on my 2.0 with my mrs on the policy aswell,

Ok thanks everyone well I should have a tax rebate coming and then work forgot my holiday pay so hopefully in 2 weeks I should have just over a grand, if I have the oppurtunity to get one on finance I think I would (no different to getting a loan out though I guess)

Just rang a garage about a golf gti and he said I may need a guardian or parent to say they will pay it off if i can't as he asked for my age and i said 19 in 10 days, is that right does anyone know?

Any ideas how I can check my credit score?

Would I have the same thing asked if I wanted to get a loan out?
