Hey guys, just found out that I'm getting a bit of help towards insurance and a job when I finnish uni sometime in the middle of june which means I'll finally have a car almost exactly a year after passing my test. I'm waiting for a call from adrian flux tomorrow about getting a few quotes, so untill then I'm not 100% sure what I can insure but I've got a few ideas. Ideally want something cool, fun and decent to drive and with a decent "scene" around it, but I'm not too fussy as long as I'm driving.
I was thinking of spending £500ish, maybe £750 tops. Mot would be good because I don't have much time to spend working on it (and not much experience)
Wouldn't mind rolling a Mk2/3/16n polo, Corsa (preferably 1.0 for insurance) Mk2/3 golf 1.3. But anything you've got is good.
Would like a 306 turbo diesel as they can look quite good and you can get some good power out of them but not sure on insurance costs.
Located in birmingham but I'm at swansea for uni so cars around there are cool too.
Thanks, Joe.

I've got a 1998 Skoda Felicia 1.3LXi, S reg, with MoT till Nov, no tax. Few niggly faults but nothing major, that i'm aware of, (central locking unlocks 3 of the 4 doors, exhaust blowing on centre box, and the return spring on the ignition has gone so key has to be turned back after starting).
Looking for £200 for quick sale. Located in Gainsborough, Lincs.

maybe a volvo 340? i know they are pretty cheap to insure, i had a 360 2.0 and that was fairly cheap. the 1.4's are cheap to buy and insure and so are the 1.7. They are rwd and can be fun in the wet they don't have enough power to be a seriouse drifter, but quite a good car for it. also there are a great bunch of guys on volvo300mania.

I've seen that before, skoda rally colours? Bit out of my way unfortunately. Anyne got any more cool suggestions? Ideally buying my first car in about 2-3 weeks if all goes to plan. Volvo 340/360's look good too, they can take clio 16v engines can't they? |
