He has 2 years ncb and he's 20 iirc.
A 172 Insurance quote would be high, but not ridiculous.
Their group 16 insurance. My CTR is group 17 and i pay £1100. Thats 24 years old, parked on drive, 4 ncb.
End of the day, it's what he can afford.
I suggested the 172 cos of it's immense pace and superb handling. He would love it.

the 172 looks fucking awesome but it's well beyond my means i think, the insurance would absolutely murder me.
group 11/12 is probably my maximum in fairness.

How about 106 GTi?
Very fun little cars and can be had for peanuts now.
Insurance group is 13.

I've never understood the need for a Fireball XL5 or a Turbo Nutter Bastard car. For me the car that gets me from A to B most cheaply and in most comfort has to be king !
NMH I like the sound of a Tubo Nutter Bastard  |

I've completely lost all interest in cars apart from how much they'll cost me to run!
I often sit back and wonder why I went for bigger family car when it costs me twice as much to run a year, kids!

how much were you selling the pug for without the plate, stfcfan? carver - the clio shall be part-exchanged, doubt it'll last much longer really. i've ragged the fuck out of it for the best part of 2 years. i keep having visions of myself driving the xj6 into college |

Whits has hit the nail on the head there. Doesn't have to be travelling but there must be better ways to spend that kind of money than on a hunk of depreciating metal.
[there I go again]

i don't have £5k to spend as i want, sadly, as the 'rents have designated it as car money.
otherwise i'd be dropping out of college, making like a tampon and getting out of this bleeding hole.
