First Car?

smithonian · February 20th, 2009, 11:04 AM

Hello

I was wondering what I should buy for a good first car? I need low insurance but I dont want it to be a boring looking thing! Any thoughts? Should I buy new or used?

Cheers

Always go for a used car if you want low insurance cost. Athree years old used car is always stylish and trendy and provide all the comforts as a new brand car.

A used car would give a low insurance cost. But you have to inspect the vehicle carefully before purchasing it. Make sure that you know the repair history of the vehicle so you know which parts are bound to give in early.

How much would a mechanic charge to come with me and look at a car? Roughly?

My first car was a mark 1 astra, fond memories I dropped luck when i bought it as the registration was a private number plates NOG 11X whick I sold on and made a few quid. As the earlier post said, you never forget your first !!!

I have brought the Chevrolet Spark last year.....I m in love with this car because of its great features...I can say it gives you Comfortable drive on bumpy roads, good fuel economy to save money, gives average of 80 kmpl and on highways of 100 kmpl.
I m feeling proud to own this Chevrolet Spark.

puntos are cheap to insure and run. the quicker the car the higher the insurance. A good cheap car that offers a compromise is the peugeot 306 DTurbo. relatively nippy but cheap to insure

failing that get a 'sensible' car like a 206 or a Clio. Go for the 1.2 models as theyre cheap to insure but not too slow that theyd get on your nerves
