Hai!

I was just reading the first thread about what you want as your first car and I was wondering how you have found the money for it?

With me, I have £1,200 of money that I have earnt working. I hope to earn another £1,000 at work. Then hopefully my grandad will give me a £1000 loan for the insurance. I want to spend about £1,500 on the car.

I'm thinking Renault Clio as first car, possibly a Peugot 206 or the smallest 306 - although I heard Peugots are rubbish to drive.

I advise against taking out loans with banks, I advise immensely against it.

I think my parents will hopefully help me out with mine! Unless I start saying till April which is not likely.

I had the same thing with my parents. Got £1k when I was 15 and got £1.5k a few months before my 18th.

The first car I had was really my moms, but I drove it. It was a 02 BMW 745i and we paid around $23 000. I don't have to pay for the car it's self, but I have to pay for gas, maintance, tires and other expenses. I reciently got a new car and we paid $14 000. It's a silver 2003 Honda Accord EX-L V6 with only 45 000miles on it and it's also a Honda Certified used car, and the best part is it gets like 36MPG highway. But yeah, if you want a cheap good car, get used.

WAs hoping to get one in jan, for my 17th but i doubt it.
I will probally pay for it myself.

I have no use to drive, i mean i go college and pub, and i cant exactly drive back from the pub.

I've passed my test and I could get a car now, but recently decided against it. I don't see the point in spending £4000 on a car and insurance when I've managed without one for 17 years. :P I'd rather spend the money travelling next summer and then when I'm earning a full wage get a car and insurance.

not sure, ill probably pay a bit but my dad will probably pay for most of it. coz he bought my sisters car.. and because he went and he did that hes gonna have to buy me and my brother a car. and my other sister can buy it herself, shes like a money machine anyway. well he didnt say he would buy me a car but thats the hole hes dug himself into ;]
