it's much cheaper to own a car that's - not only in good condition, therefore gives more sway with insurance companies - already owned by us and has the loving paperwork filled out. are you some rich cunt or something?
pretty bad advice when you go ahead and tell me to uh, buy a really cheap car. unless you legitimately have no idea how that plans out for me it means it's probably going to be super stuff and that I'll have wasted money. you seem to have some idea what kind of condition a car of that price will be in anyway by calling it a stuff box so I may as well ask who in the forget wants to buy a rundown car and why would I feel safe driving it? do you think an insurance company is gonna give me insurance cheap for that? do you think it'll even pass the 2nd MOT I put it through before I have to scrap it? I'll tell you to forget off all I want because you're a god damn idiot
I am not the richest man in the world, I work for Tesco. I do however live extremely frugally which means I am very wise with my money. I own cheap, small engine sized cars as they are cheaper to run, and generally do not break down easily, and when they do go wrong it's a great fun experience of learning which would prepare myself for the future when I have a better job and presumably a better car (which is usually something petty like a wheel baring, or spark plugs for instance).
Honestly, you'll be surprised how cheap car insurance is for these little cars, especially as a learner driver with one of your parents as a named driver.
Also, it depends what you buy. You'd best bet is to go for something German like a VW Lupo because anything German doesn't break easily.
I'm trying to give you advice based on my own previous life experiences involving cars from the past two years. Experiences in which have been rather favourable, both financially and educationally.
Am I a "rich cunt?" That's quite a subjective question isn't it? Are you implying you believe that cars can be bought for something cheaper than that or something? Eventually you're going to want your own car, so what would you buy? You're going to want something cheap. Of course you'll actually go and see the cars yourself, that's why sites such as gumtree exist.
Also, "Will it even pass it's MOT?". It's always best to check a vehicle's service/MOT history before purchasing it. This can be found here, and all the MOTs from 2006+ are listed.
