My first car at 16?

that is a lovely theory. but in the real world whenever you start driving you get butt raped, my missus is 25 with 1 year no claims and it costs £900 ish for a 1.4 clio... first year for her was a 20 year old micra 1.0 and that costs £1100... i put it off for years cos i refused to pay over 1k to insure a slow car when my bandit 600 bike only cost £200 to insure... but the benefit of a car is sooo huge i do wish i stumped up the cash years earlier

Well I have had quotes where I've changed my birthday to simulate how it would be insuring a car after uni compared to before, and it went from £3,300, to £900. So while it is still a rip off, I'm not going to need to sell my body to pay for it :)

Besides, since I am at uni, I just have no need for it until I leave. I get the bus or cycle to/from uni, and in the holidays I get the bus or a lift to work, so waiting is the best thing to do in my situation I think :)
