Buying first car [help]

[Hecktix]

Check insurance groups, you'll need a Group 1 or 2 car for cheap insurance.

I could only afford car+insurance for a fiat seicento lol, but i love my car haha, £3000 in total.

i'm 18

I'm only just 19 so I don't think yours will be much worse than mine (my Mini is only a 1.0 though). Deffo get a quote off Swinton anyway before you decide .

You'll need to save up a bit more.

Your best bet is an earlyish Ford Ka, btw

get a car for 2.5k, pay insurance monthly and pay the deposit with the remaining 500 quid.

whats HPI?

and do you have a job?

HPI is a check, If you get HPI clear on a car, it means theres nothing wrong with it, or if there is, itl tell you.

For example: If some1s trying to sell a written off or stolen car, By doing a HPI check itl show what damages has happened to the car in the past, whether its been written off or reported as stolen.

Just to be safe.

you'll be lucky to get a car and insurance for under 3k.

Yes it is possible

Insrance started at £1200

My first car: Seat Arosa (R Reg) Cost me £200. Written off within 11 days

My second car: Ford Ka Sport (03 Reg) Cost £2800. Sold to my mum

My car now: VW Lupo (52 reg) Cost me £2100. Still got it although a woman crashed into it in my street so its gotta get repaired

No, It is not possible for me do it all in under £3000, My insurance is now £1800.

Good Luck
