First Car Thoughts/. - Jambo - 14-08-2017
This is probably a bit too soon, but i thought ide post anyway.
Ill be looking for a car (Hopefully), around May/June/July next year. (Once i have a job i can save save save!).
Just wondering what a good idea for a first car would be? Ide prefer it to be japanese, so i can be more part of the club, but any car will do.
Budget: £1.4-5k. + Insurance.
I need to get a lot of hours in at work, and some extra shifts, all in amongst my college work, b ut ill try and do it.
Get thinking

Toyota Starlet, but not the turbo being as its your first motor
Good little reliable car and you can always make it look better, being as there are quite a few mods out for it (if insurance allows?) :thumbup1:

micra....cube....eg3 civic...all down to how much you want to spend on car/ins:biggrin:

I was looking at the civic. But the older civic is a higher end insurance group, and will cost me about 3k. Whereas the new 2001 + versions are only 2.5k a year. O sorry, yerh 1.4litre Honda Civic 2001, £2775 a year.
Looked for a starlet and they was around the 3.2k a year mark. And the DTurbo 306's are even more. Its not the car, its the insurance :O.
EDIT. The DTurbo only come in a 2.0litre. = 1999T Peugeot 306 D Turbo, 1905CC Diesel, 5DR, Manual = £2737.97 SHOCKING :O. Thats quite cheap to say what it is.

the thing is with your first car you just have to bite the bullet and bend over the first year,after that you will be ok

Does 3rd party fire and theft count if someone just vandalises it? (EG Breaks a window, in an attempt to steal something from inside?)
